Rabbi Levi Greenberg writes about Hanukkah's message that evil can be defeated. Being on vacation, I didn't advance-screen this piece that Kuffner came up with, but reading now? If it's got a picture of Chabad at the top of the column, it's Zionist. (Not to mention the Lubavicher angle.) Also, since Hanukkah was adapted from an already existing Persian winter solstice festival, it's a lie. And, reading between the lines about the celebration of the fall of the House of Assad in Syria, and the silence on something else, it's anti-Palestinian. Shock me that Kuff, who passes by the plight of Palestine and pro-Palestinian protestors in silent contempt, would like something like this. But, with the lateness of Hanukkah this year, I'm leaving this note here, and not deleting the piece, so I can blog even further on Jan. 2, if I remember.
