ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Talmud tells a story about the first human being’s experience of the first winter, a story that
has echoes of the story of Chanuka. We will consider the meanings that emerge from the
interplay between these texts and that are embodied in our practice of lighting candles on
Chanuka.
