On Today’s Show:
Dennis Prager explores the timeless significance of two central Jewish holidays. First, he unpacks the deeper meaning of Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish New Year—showing how it calls us to reflect, take responsibility, and realign our lives with higher values. Then, he turns to Hanukkah, a celebration not only of miracles but of the enduring struggle for religious freedom and moral courage. Together, these talks offer practical wisdom and inspiration for living with purpose in any season.

| 1:16.0 | I decided, however, given that it is the one Shabbat of the year, that is Hanukkah, |
| 1:21.1 | to speak about Hanukkah, or Hanukkah, as it is better known. |
| 1:27.2 | And I would like to make a public apology, |
| 1:30.7 | not actually to a person, |
