{"product_id":"2940158834868","title":"Victory of Light","description":"An exposition on the deeper significance of Chanukah, viewed through the lens of Chabad-Chasidism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere, the Rebbe explains that the war of the Greeks was a spiritual one, aimed at eradicating the notion that Torah and mitzvot are holy, G-d given and Divine. The hellenistic Greeks wished to secularize Judaism, to turn it from a supra-rational \"faith\" into a very rational system of philosophy and moral conduct. And in this sense the Greek Empire is very much alive: there still exist forces- from both without and within -that wish us to forget that Judaism is G-dly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe victory of the Jews over the Greeks represents the vistory of the supra-rational over the rational, the G-dly over the secular. We therfore immortalize Chanukah by lighting fiery lamps against the darkness of night, to celebrate the Victory of Light.","brand":"Kehot Publication Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076825235696,"sku":"2940158834868","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158834868_p0.jpg?v=1764122866","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158834868","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
