Published: Dec. 10, 2020, 7:10 p.m.

A little bit of light can dispel a lot of darkness, and for the next eight nights, worldwide Jewish people will light their menorahs to celebrate their religion, history and culture, and more important their hope for a better future. Hanukkah or Chanukah is a Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the second temple in Jerusalem. Utah’s first homegrown Rabbi, Orthodox Rabbi Avrohom “Avremi” Zippel, tells us the story of Hanukkah and how it is being celebrated amid pandemic worries and in Utah. And Boyd reminds us of the wisdom of our recently passed friend Rabbi Sacks, who asks us to build morality by focusing on the “we not me.”  ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
