The wicked King Antiochus wanted the Jews to bow down to the Greek idols and not practice the Jewish religion anymore. Antiochus* soldiers made the Holy Temple unclean by bringing in idols and unkosher animals to sacrifice. Any one found practicing Judeusm was murdered cruelly. A small army of Jews, led by Judah the Maccabee and his brothers, fought the Syrian soldiers. On the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, the Maccabees entered the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. They cleaned the Temple and dedicated it to God again. Most of us think that’s the end of the story. We think the miracle of oil in the Temple is the last chapter. Here’s a surprising fact* After the Jews entered the Holy Temple, THE WAR CONTINUED FOR ANOTHER 23 YEARS! Here’s the part of the story that you probably didn’t know: The battles became even more difficult During this time* King Antiochus died and his son came to power. The cruel treatment of the Jews continued. All of the Maccabees, except for Simeon, were killed in battle. The four brothers - Judah, Eleazar, Jonathan and Yohanan - all died fighting for the Jews. Simeon became both the leader of the army and the High Priest (religious leader) of the Jews. When the war was finally over, the Jews won complete inde pendence. They were free to practice their religion and to rule them selves. But when we tell the story of Chanukah, the part we remember most is the miracle of the oil in the Temple. For hundreds of years, Chanu kah was mainly a celebration of the rededication of the Holy Temple to God. Because of the many wars the Jewish people have fought to protect the State of Israel, the battles of the Maccabees have become impor tant too. Now we celebrate both the miracle of the oil and the bravery of the Jewish people!
