xRKx Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I just wanted to wish a happy hanukkah to whoever feels concerned Well, while I'm not Jewish either - Happy Hanukkah to you, too! And for everyone else, a merry Christmas to those who celebrate that, and even a joyous Kwanzaa, in case there's anybody who celebrates it around here as well. (Even though the beginning of Kwanzaa is 6 days away - never anything wrong with a little early tidings!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Can someone from the Jewish religion enlighten me?Don't have time to google. :| More than 2000 years ago, the land of Judea was ruled by Antiochus, a tyrannical Syrian king. Even today, people fight wars over their gods, despite claims to value "religious tolerance." But a couple of thousand years ago, religious tolerance didn't exist at all. Religion was as good an excuse as any to oppress a people. That's precisely what Antiochus did to the Jews: he forbade them to observe the Sabbath or study their religious text, the Torah, and he erected a statue of Zeus in their sacred temple of Jerusalem. Many Jews followed his decrees, because they had no choice; those who resisted were executed. In 167 B.C., the Jews -- driven to desperation -- rose up against Antiochus. Mattathias, a well-respected priest, gathered together an army and put his five sons in charge. Judah and his brothers wanted a name for their battalion that would signify force and strength; "Maccabee", meaning "hammer", fit the bill. It took three years of fighting, but eventually the Maccabees drove the Syrians out of Israel and reclaimed the temple in Jerusalem. Naturally, the Maccabees quickly got rid of the statue of Zeus. Then they cleansed and purified the temple, and rekindled the menorah, a candelabra that symbolized God's Divine Presence. Oddly enough, although it only held enough oil to burn for a single day, the menorah burned for eight. This was the miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yea its a good story. This holiday is not a "big" holiday for the jewish faith. Its not like christmas or easter which I presume are the holiest of the Christain faith. Our two holyest days where in september which Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipper. Which is the jewish new year.
