The Fall of Syria, Chanukah, and Avraham’s War: How Ancient Battles Reveal Today’s Geulah Signs
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
In this class we explore the stunning connection between the modern downfall of Syria and the spiritual roots of Chanukah, tracing it back to Avraham’s war with the four kings in Bereishit. Through Midrash, Ramban, and classic commentaries, we uncover why the Jewish nation only fought a physical war against Greece, why Damascus and Syria matter in the redemption story, and how current events may be part of God's hidden preparation for the third Beit HaMikdash.
