I was invited to speak about Chanukah at the Yeshiva for the Nations which takes place throughout the year at the Knesset (Israel’s Parliament)
MK Rabbi Yehuda Glick was the host of the program and shares words of wisdom on various topics throughout the year.
There were about 120 people attending with around 70 coming from the nations, including a group of 38 from Taiwan. The topic was government and public policy based on Tanakh sources with the theme of Light, Hanukkah and Maccabees.
Here are some photos of the event and below is my short presentation about the biblical meaning of olive oil and how that affects Israel’s relationship with the Nations of the world.
Here’s a link to an article written about the event on Breaking Israel News.

You were at the Knesset and it’s still standing?

Thank you for the “enlightened” word, Rabbi Veffer! Baruch haShem!
