Rabbi Avishai David |
| In this Torah shiur (class) on Chanuka, Rabbi Avishai David continues
his explication of Maoz Tzur, the hymn sung after candle lighting on
Chanuka. Part of the obligation to publicize the miracles of Chanuka
(pirsumei nisa) is to verbally praise Hashem for them. Maoz Tzur
incorporates praise for the miracle of the oil, as well as for the
victory on battle, and also discusses the hardships and salvation
experienced by the Jewish nation throughout history. This Torah class is available online in streaming video and for download in mp3 and ipod video formats. |
