| 520 | _aThe story of Chanukah by Benjamin Sacks is a brief historical and religious account written in the early 20th century. The book explains the origins and meaning of the Jewish festival of Chanukah, focusing on the Maccabean revolt and the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. The narrative traces events from the breakup of Alexander the Great’s empire through Seleucid rule over Judea, highlighting the corruption of the High Priesthood under Jason and Menelaus and the brutal persecutions of Antiochus IV. It recounts the attempted plunder of the Temple by Heliodorus, the decrees banning Jewish practice, and the martyrdoms of Eleazar and of Hannah’s seven sons. Resistance begins with Mattathias and his five sons, especially Judas Maccabeus, who leads daring victories over Apollonius, Seron, Nicanor, and Gorgias, forcing Lysias to retreat. The rebels purify and rededicate the defiled Temple, and the Talmudic miracle of the single cruse of oil burning eight days affirms divine favor. The account concludes with the establishment of the eight-day festival of dedication, marked by lights and thanksgiving. (This is an automatically generated summary.) | ||
