Off The Derech Dec 2, 2007 Chanukah Edition

Although it is not yet Chanukah, this week's shiur featured the dreidel. There will be no shiur next week, so in addition to some very tasty Chinese food, partially sponsored in part by the Caplan family, this week also featured sufganiyot from Parisers!


27 boys attended to hear an exciting shiur about how the letters on the dreidel represent the four galiyos that B'nei Yisroel have endured. A dreidel has four side, yet when spun, looks like it is round. So too, we, the Jewish people have defied logic. A few guerrilla warriors should not have been able to take down the yevanim!

Oh - Rabbi Teichman spins a mean dreidel too...

Wishing everyone a lichtiga Chanukah,
Gobbie
