Channukah is the festival of lights.... It is far more than celebrating the miracle of the oil lasting 8 days... That was the spiritual miracle... But what makes Channukah an ultra special chag... Is there was a spiritual and a physical actual world miracle... That was...
Defeating the Syrian Greeks... And reclaiming the temple and our holy land. We fought a brutal ten year guerilla war... Against a far superior force...In the end we managed to put the nail in the coffin by slitting many of their throats while they were drunk....
While the lights remind us of the great big Miracle that happened in eretz haKoidesh... Remember they represent both spiritual and physical miracles... The land, the temple... The oil. Channukah sameach in 2020
We weren't just fighting the Greeks on the battlefield.... They wanted us to assimilate... Become them... Thus be destroyed...they wanted us to adopt their love of physicality... Their desecration of the spiritual... We fought them on every front
