HISTORY OF HANUKKAH
HANUKKAH TRADITIONS
The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah
commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of
the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend Jews
had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean
Revolt. Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the
25 th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or
December. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated
with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.
HISTORY OF HANUKKAH
The events that inspired the Hanukkah holiday took place during a particularly
turbulent phase of Jewish history. Around 200 B.C., Judea-also
known as the Land of Israel-came under the control of Antiochus III, the
Seleucid king of Syria, who allowed the Jews who lived there to continue
practicing their religion. His son, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, proved
less benevolent: Ancient sources recount that he outlawed the Jewish
religion and ordered the Jews to worship Greek gods. In 168 B.C., his
soldiers descended upon Jerusalem, massacring thousands of people
and desecrating the city’s holy Second Temple by erecting an altar to
Zeus and sacrificing pigs within its sacred walls.
Did you know? The story of Hanukkah does not appear in the Torah because
the events that inspired the holiday occurred after it was written.
It is, however, mentioned in the New Testament, in which Jesus attends
a “Feast of Dedication.”
Led by the Jewish priest Mattathias and his five sons, a large-scale
rebellion broke out against Antiochus and the Seleucid monarchy.
When Matthathias died in 166 B.C., his son Judah, known as Judah
Maccabee (“the Hammer”), took the helm; within two years the Jews
had successfully driven the Syrians out of Jerusalem, relying largely
on guerilla warfare tactics. Judah called on his followers to cleanse the
