What does “Nisim bayamim hahem bazman hazeh” really mean? Are miracles only something that happened “back then,” or are we living through them now?

Rabbi Uri Pilichowski delivers a wide-ranging, thought-provoking talk that reframes what a miracle is, starting with a sharp one-sentence definition:

A miracle isn’t necessarily what happens. It’s when it happens.

Rabbi Pilochowski connects this idea to:
Kriyat Yam Suf: why Bnei Yisrael needed Moshe and Miriam to lead them in song
Purim: why Mordechai says “Who knows?” even when the pattern seems obvious
Chanukah: why the miracle of the oil helped reveal the miracle behind the victory

He then introduces a powerful psychological insight: when we are living through intense events, whether painful or uplifting, we often cannot process the meaning in real time. That same phenomenon can prevent us from recognizing Hashgacha Pratis in our own generation.

This talk challenges us to step back, see timing with clarity, and use Chanukah to deepen our gratitude, emunah, and perspective on Jewish history unfolding before our eyes.

If you want a Chanukah message that is:
- Torah-based
- Intellectually engaging
- Emotionally grounding
- Focused on seeing Hashem in real life

This is the one to watch.
