How has the Talmud had an influence on Jewish history?

* How has the Talmud had an influence on the next 1,000 years of Jewish history and why? The Talmud has been the core source of Jewish knowledge for two thousand years.

THE MYSTICAL LIGHT OF CHANUKAH

THE MYSTICAL LIGHT OF CHANUKAH

Our sages have discovered numerous connections between this holiday and the Joseph narrative. I’d like to suggest an additional connection help us appreciate what might be Chanukah’s underlying spiritual motif.
