Chanukah Edition

This is a special Parsha Pearls lesson designed specifically for the feast of Chanukah. Although Chanukah is not mentioned in the Tanakh, there is a reference to it in John 10:22-23, where it says that Yeshua was in the Set-apart Place during Chanukah. Chanukah, like the festival of Purim, is not an appointed time of Yahweh. However, many observe and celebrate it to remember Yahweh’s faithfulness and deliverance to His chosen people. There are many lessons to glean from the history of this national celebration, and that is why we have created this edition.
