Welcome to the Twenty First episode of Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Rabbi Abby Sosland looks at Masechet Shabbat Daf 22. Is the mitzvah of Chanukkah to light the candles or simply to place the Chanukkiah in our window? A lesson from the Chassidic text Kedushat Levi suggests that these two possibilities reflect different spiritual moments in a Jew’s life.
Rabbi Abby Sosland is the Morah Ruchanit (Spiritual Advisor) for the high school at Solomon Schechter Westchester, where she teaches Talmud, Bible, Philosophy and Prayer. Her chapter “Crime and Punishment” — about the laws of capital punishment and incarceration— appears in The Observant Life: The Wisdom of Conservative Judaism for Contemporary Jews (Martin Cohen and Michael Katz, Rabbinical Assembly, 2012). She runs a free High Holiday service at Town and Village Synagogue in downtown Manhattan.
