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

[Music] the entire moon is sometimes reflected in a single cup of water one genome of the human body contains the code for the entire body sometimes in the smallest part and the smallest detail and nuance you have reflected the full picture there is one mymerchazal there is one statement in madrish that describes the tragedy and then the triumph of chanukah and commentators over the generations have struggled to understand the expression that are the rabbis used when they wanted to describe what was going on during the time of chanaka it's found a few places in madrid the first time is right in the beginning madrid on the passage when it says was engulfed in chaos and darkness over the abyss and ghazal the sages see that verse as referring to the various empires that will dominate the world till mashiach comes and often plunged the world into darkness refers to the greek empire why your first source says the madrid rabbi bereshes parish base javon greece which was sharp and swift with its decrees upon the jewish people the murlochem the greek empire the greek leaders would tell the jewish people right on the horn of the ox that you have no shear in the god of israel belike israel right on the horn of the ox why on the horn of the ox it's not the most comfortable place to write a message i can understand write it on papyrus on the paper they had then the clay or other material used to inscribe to engrave to write it on the horn of the ox i once saw him a fighter commentator say that the horn of an ox was usually was often used like we used today a baby bottle to feed babies meaning this is what you should feed your children it's still strange that the rabbis chose this
