The Jewish Story Season 6 Interlude – Greek Wisdom and Cultural Sovereignty Here is my annual Hanukkah class in honor of my father, Charles Feuer/Betzalel ben Avraham ob’m. As the end of the Hasmonean kingdom that was established after the Hanukkah war, the Sages decreed “cursed by the man who teaches his son Greek wisdom.” This talk explores what that wisdom might be, how to hold it off and why doing so is central to our national struggle for cultural sovereignty.
