Of Maccabees and Miracles -with Rabbi Jonty Blackman

Of Maccabees and Miracles –

Exploring some of the lesser known stories behind the Chanukah traditions.

Join CWB and Rabbi Jonty Blackman as we light the lights of our Menorah and celebrate the Miracle of Hanukkah.

Just as Hanukkah candles are lighted one by one from a single flame, so the tale of the miracle is passed from one man to another, from one house to another, and to the whole House of Israel throughout the generations. ~Anonymous
