Ve Ata Be Rahameha Hanuka (5723)

The Alef Kabbala Group (8 December 09, 14 Kislev) explored a discourse by the Lubavitcher Rebbe said on Shabbat Vayeshev 1962 (5723, which was also Shabbat Chanuka, focusing on a phrase in the Al HaNisim prayer which is recited on Chanuka. This leads to a discussion of the significance of a love for the Divine which cannot be contained in one's heart - like the dedication and self-sacrifice of the Jews fighting against Helenization and the Syrian Greeks at the time of Chanuka.
