## Resource

In this Hanukkah-themed episode of Common Faith, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and Jon Frankel welcome writer and public intellectual Yossi Klein Halevi for a rich conversation about Jewish identity, the multiple meanings of Hanukkah, and how the holiday resonates differently in America and Israel. From the miracle of the oil to the Maccabees’ fight for sovereignty to modern questions of power, safety, and belonging, they explore how Hanukkah’s stories shape Jewish life today—and how recent events have reignited questions of vulnerability, resilience, and community.
