Do you know when Hanukkah began? The Feast of Dedication, known as the Hanukkah, is a minor Feast because the Torah/Pentateuch does not mandate it. It started during the time of the Maccabees, around 165 BCE. It is observed for eight days beginning on the 25th day of the Hebrew month, Kislev. According to the Hebrew calendar, it may occur between November to late December. Some have chosen to adopt the Gemara or the Talmud teaching about this event and relegate it to being more about the oil that re-lit the menorah at the Temple. According to the Talmud, the Maccabees only found enough oil for one day, but miraculously it burned for eight days. There is no doubt that the Feast's origin lies in the Maccabean military victory. However, the "rabbis" effectively rebranded this Feast so that instead of glorifying Maccabees' military prowess, the Feast instead glorifies the unconditional and miraculous divine light that "Jews" can rely on when in darkness. This book focuses on the historical, military, and spiritual background that leads to the rebellion under the Maccabees. We also explain how and when it is to be celebrated. We explore the Syrian Greeks who had a Seleucid Emperor from the North, a man called Antiochus Epiphanes. He wanted to force the Israelites to worship idols and become "Hellenized." Through force, he forbids circumcision, keeping of the Sabbath and Feast Days, and makes them eat swine. Even worst, he is assisted by a group of Yahudim themselves, the "Hellenists," who believed in Antiochus' plan and detested their own culture. The Israelites rally, and in a 3-year guerilla war, and against all odds, a small group of Yahudim, led by Judas, the Maccabees fought. They were able to free the land from Greek rule. The recaptured Temple was cleansed and purified. Hanukkah is about re-dedication and re-capturing of the Temple. The battles continued for another twenty years, so it did not end the war; this happened towards the beginning of the battles. So, what is Hanukkah, and what does it commemorate? The Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) is the celebration of: • The recapturing and the cleansing of the Temple after the Greeks defiled it. • Re-dedication of the Temple. • The victory over the Greeks. The recapturing of the Temple was looked at as a way of YAHUAH telling the Yahudim, you are not powerless or helpless; to have hope, do not give up, keep going with my blessing, nothing is impossible, and that gave them the courage to keep fighting. We see that it was not only a spiritual battle but it is also a physical battle the Maccabees fought against Greek oppression that ignited a revolution. Not only will you learn the true history of the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), but you will discover how we celebrate it today. However, the actual celebrating begins at the return of the Messiah, and He will bring true joy to the world! Take a look inside; you might be surprised at what you will find.

Explores the ways American Jews have reshaped Hanukkah traditions across the country In New Orleans, Hanukkah means decorating your door with a menorah made of hominy grits. Latkes in Texas are seasoned with cilantro and cayenne pepper. Children in Cincinnati sing Hanukkah songs and eat oranges and ice cream. While each tradition springs from its own unique set of cultural references, what ties them together is that they all celebrate a holiday that is different in America than it is any place else. For the past two hundred years, American Jews have been transforming the ancient holiday of Hanukkah from a simple occasion into something grand. Each year, as they retell its story and enact its customs, they bring their ever-changing perspectives and desires to its celebration. Providing an attractive alternative to the Christian dominated December, rabbis and lay people alike have addressed contemporary hopes by fashioning an authentically Jewish festival that blossomed in their American world. The ways in which Hanukkah was reshaped by American Jews reveals the changing goals and values that emerged among different contingents each December as they confronted the reality of living as a religious minority in the United States. Bringing together clergy and laity, artists and businessmen, teachers, parents, and children, Hanukkah has been a dynamic force for both stability and change in American Jewish life. The holiday’s distinctive transformation from a minor festival to a major occasion that looms large in the American Jewish psyche is a marker of American Jewish life. Drawing on a varied archive of songs, plays, liturgy, sermons, and a range of illustrative material, as well as developing portraits of various communities, congregations, and rabbis, Hanukkah in America reveals how an almost forgotten festival became the most visible of American Jewish holidays.
