Our guest for Hanukkah is Etienne Kerber, from the Leo beck college in London.
On Chanukah we celebrate the re–dedication of the Temple by the Maccabees. This is the Temple that had been defiled by the Greeks. The Chanukah Torah reading discusses the dedication of the desert Tabernacle.The leaders of the twelve tribes of Israel each bring their offerings for the inauguration of the Tabernacle and the altar.
