About this title

Synopsis

Patterns in Time is a remarkable new series which reveals patterns subtly hidden by our Sages in the Midrash, and uses them to uncover the structure of patterns hidden in time. In this volume, Rav Matis Weinberg draws a dramatic and moving picture of the historical processes that created Chanukah, spanning time from the Garden of Eden through the Messianic age. Patterns in Time does not duplicate the many excellent works available on the history , laws, customs, and lore of Chanukaha. Instead, in a delightfully eclectic structuring of rich sources, Rav Matis uncovers a hidden Chanukah. In the process, Rav Matis illuminates some of the most important concepts of Torah philosophy, bringing clarity to complexity. A relevant and sensitive examination of assimilation and divisiveness in the Jewish people, this volume of Patterns in Time traces schism from its existential roots in Adam, to Yosef and his brothers, the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel, through the time of Chanukah. It demonstrates the significance of this primary schism to the phenomemom of Hellenization and its contemporary counterparts. With penetrating scholarship and without over-abstraction, the book extablishes the pertinence of Chanukah to final Geluah and to the syntheses of Yosef and Yehuda, Foundation and Empire, individual and Klal Yisroel.
