Chanukah In Our Time

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
2870 Views     3 Ratings

In the 20th century, the Germans killed the Jews and the Soviets killed Judaism.

In 1991 Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks lit Chanukah candles with Mikhail Gorbachov and explained the ceremony to him, concluding by telling him that he has become part of the Chanukah story. Though tyranny still exists freedom will always win the final battle.

This video was graciously provided by the Office of the Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks.
