More on Chanukkah and Sukkos

I previously posted on the connection between Chanukkah and Succos using the academic approach.

The American Yated this week had a article by David Hoffman, drawing on Chazon L'Moed of R. Aryeh Leib Shapiro, Yerushalaim, 5767, who approached it from a traditional and homiletic perspective. I post some excerpts from the article.

It's worth reading both for the sources that it brings and to appreciate how different the two approaches are when addressing the same topic. Of course, how one puts sources together, how one expresses them, and what one reads in them and into them is different with every preacher. I personally would not have gone where this author has gone.
