1. Zechariah 3-4

   Matan Al Haperek

   Rabbi David Sabato

   Perek 3: Central to Zechariah’s prophetic visions are two visions which parallel each other: the first focuses on Yehoshua ben Yehotzadak, the high priest, and the second deals with Zerubavel, the governor of Judah. These two people are mentioned together in several places in Sefer Chaggai as the two leaders, religious and political, of those who returned to Zion.

   Perek 4 begins with a new vision which centers on a unique and wonderful description of the Menorah in the Temple. This is followed at first by a general explanation of the meaning of the vision (4-10) and then by a more detailed explanation (11-14). This vision is closely related to the previous vision and the symbolism of alluding to the stone and to Zerubavel in the previous perek is explained here. 

2. Hanukka and the Book of Ezra

   Rabbi Ezra Bick | 8 minutes

   Years before the events of Hanukka, the end of Kislev was nevertheless a time of religious observance during the time of Ezra. Dismayed by the high assimilation rates of the Jewish communities returning to Israel, Ezra calls a fast. The twentieth of Kislev and the following days constitute an assembly of teshuva. During the time of the founding of the Second Beit HaMikdash, the period that we know as the dates of Hanukka - were dedicated to national repentance and renewal, an important element of the Hanukka story as well.
