Episode description
While the pshat of the Torah has no open miracles to Yaakov Avinu, the midrashim (cited by Rashi) have many. This epsiode considers five of these midrashic miracles in light of their absence from the pshat. It provides an explanation for why the midrash "invents" these miracles and simultaneously explains why the Chanuka miracle was needed.
