Festivals of Faith: Chanukah and Winter Months

description of book Connect and grow with the Jewish Year by discovering its essence. How are Chanukah candles different from Shabbos candles? Which event in the lives of the Avos foreshadows the story of Chanukah? What is the connection between Chanukah and the light of Mashiach? Why is it that our generation is linked to the darkness of Teves? Which tree is most affected by Tu B’Shvat? AMOS HANAVI (8:11) predicted that preceding Mashiach’s arrival there would be a famine — not for bread and water, but for the word of Hashem. This explains why more and more people find themselves needing the nourishment of the deeper layers of Torah. Festivals of Faith, presenting the Torah of Rav Moshe Wolfson, zt”l, Rav of Beis Midrash Emunas Yisrael and Mashgiach Ruchani of Mesivta Torah Vodaath, attempts to satisfy this hunger and quench this thirst. Written in a light and engaging style, the Festivals of Faith series draws from the mystical layers of Torah as transmitted through the channels of Chassidus. Sprinkled throughout are astounding gematrios, marvelous sidebars, and next-level appendices — and each chapter ends with a practical takeaway. This series opens up the rich resources of the Jewish year, enabling our emunah to blossom with the Festivals of Faith.
