Parashat Miketz -English

Rabbi Mario Gurevich Beth Israel Synagogue  Aruba Besides always coinciding in time, Parashat Miketz and Chanukah have other similarities. The text speaks about the tension between Joseph and his brothers before they acknowledged him, while the Chanukah festival deals with the tension, or fight, between Greeks and Jews, or better yet, between Hellenism and Judaism.
