Greece Defeated
The Ancient Greeks couldn’t understand us Jews. They asked us to describe our G–d.
We said He could not be described. They asked us to explain how He created a world out of
nothing. We said it could not be explained. They told us that which could not be explained could not exist.
And so continued the debate between philosophy and Torah for many centuries
Step by step, men described and explained everything they saw, until there was no room left for miracles,
for prophecy, for divine providence, for G-d.
It was then that the fountains of wisdom opened for humankind and we gazed into the mysteries of the atom,
of energy fields, of black holes in space.
Suddenly, the universe became once again a wondrous place. Suddenly,
we discovered that existence itself could not truly be described or explained.
In truth, the greatest mystery is that anything exists at all.
Today, it is okay to believe in the supernatural, for the "Laws of Nature"
have been deposed from their throne. There is no reason to deny free choice, f
or the iron chain of Cause and Effect has been loosened. Today, once again, scientists talk
about the oneness of the cosmos and a Consciousness within it.
Today, if anyone should tell you that Science has all the answers, respond that yes, it does.
Its answer is to stand in awe at the design of this universe in which we live.
By Tzvi Freeman
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
Growing Each Day
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski
They established these eight days of Chanukah to give thanks and praise to Your great Name (Siddur).
Jewish history is replete with miracles that transcend the miracle of the Menorah.
Why is the latter so prominently celebrated while the others are relegated to relative obscurity?
Perhaps the reason is that most other miracles were Divinely initiated; i.e
God intervened to suspend the laws of nature in order to save His people from calamity.
The miracle of the Menorah was something different. Having defeated the Seleucid Greek invaders,
the triumphant Jews entered the Sanctuary. There they found that they could light the Menorah for only one day,
due to a lack of undefiled oil. Further, they had no chance of replenishing the supply for eight days.
They did light the Menorah anyway, reasoning that it was best to do what was within their ability
to do and to postpone worrying about the next day until such worry was appropriate.
This decision elicited a Divine response and the Menorah stayed lit for that day and for seven more.
This miracle was thus initiated by the Jews themselves, and the incident was set down
as a teaching for all future generations: concentrate your efforts on what you can do, and do it! Leave the rest to God.
While even our best and most sincere efforts do not necessarily bring about miracles,
the teaching is nevertheless valid. Even the likelihood of failure in the future should not
discourage us from any constructive action that we can take now.
Today I shall ...
.. focus my attention on what it is that I can do now, and do it to the best of my ability.
