What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

the gemara massachusetts discusses this purim to the extent where the gemara asks esderman minayan looks to discover the source in the hamish for the heroes and the villains of the purim story ask for shoulder kluger what about hanukkah for purim how about hanukkah why is hanako been omitted why is there no explicit reference to hanukkah discovered by the gemara [Music] furthermore raphael mclugar asks you know there's one particular phrase in the al-anisim that it's very hard to explain none of them are first to explain the the expression goes you made a salvation as of this day what's that supposed to mean as opposed to tomorrow obviously whenever the miracle happened it happened on that day what is what does the mean who forgot [Music] of this very day so here's the problem the problem is that everything you've heard about hanukkah until now it's not really true whatever they told you that's just you know because we were not sophisticated really to understand what actually transpired but we need to upgrade our understanding of hanukkah we cannot reduce ourself to our former understanding of hanukkah what are the possibilities what exactly are we celebrating that they found one flask of oil and was enough to last for one night and miraculously lasted for eight nights do you really think that we have an eight day yomtif to celebrate oil lasting longer than it's supposed to since when do we celebrate a miracle since when do we have a young de for a miracle
