What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Benny Friedman’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Light one candle for the Macabees children with thanks that their light didn't die. Light one candle for the pain they endured when the right to exist was denied. Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice justice and freedom demand. But light one candle for the wisdom to know when the peacemakers time is at hand. Don't let the light go out. It's lasted for so many years. Don't let the light go out. Let it shine through our love and our tears. Light one candle for the strength that we need to never become our own foe.
