Special Chanukah Series: LOVE, LIGHTS, HANUKKAH! : What actually sparked the entire story of Chanukah? In this first episode we will focus on the almost never talked about beginning of what is historically known as the Hasmonean or Maccabean Revolt. Analyzing ancient Midrashic, Talmudic and even medieval Rabbinic sources points us towards a little-known, and rather shocking historic narrative. It will also shine a spotlight on Chanukah heroes almost no one has ever heard of! Watch this learn why although the story of the Maccabean Revolt and the wonders of Chanukah military struggle and the iconic of the tiny jug of oil that miraculously burned for eight days are common knowledge the origins of these watershed events weren’t well illuminated. There’s got to good reason for the cover-up... my guess may be no better than yours, yet a talk the Rebbe once delivered to a group of schoolchildren may provide just the insight we need!
