I'm still thinking about this one. A real brain tickler. Thank you Rabbi. How is Hanukkah remembered in the 3rd Temple? 1: Does Hanukkah become redundant? 2: Judaism is collectively progressive and inclusive so remembering is very important. 3: If Aaron missed out on ceremonial celebrity status but is remembered in the yearly lighting of the home-displayed Hanukkah menorah, does the 3rd Temple not reflect this in perpetuity with its own external Hanukkah menorah, even if the ceremony is not a core Jewish festival and the 3rd Temple has replaced the needs of the 2nd Temple? We need to remember, so continuity and heritage need to be honoured. 4: Where would the Hanukkah menorah be placed in the 3rd Temple? In the most apposite external position? The 3rd Temple already has the language metaphors of the nomadic sanctuary, and Solomon's (1st) Temple. 5: Maybe the 3rd Temple's external Hanukkah menorah is the perfect way to include and honour the 2nd Temple in the collective symbolic language. Collective and progressional. So amazing. Thank you for your work, Rabbi.

A quiet שבת ? I'd go insane. Last thing I need is to be alone with my brain.
