After Chanukah

The holy fires on the altar burnt again in the Holy Temple. Order and peace seemed established. One man, though, realized that the time for a return to normal living had not yet come...

This is what Chanukah is about!
This true story of Chanukah is unknown to most Jews. Most Jews think it is only about Oil lasting Eight days instead of One day. Christmas has been adopted into Chanukah with the exchange of gifts. The Hellenistic Jews were the worst enemy and are still the worst enemy in Israel today! It is wrong for Chanukah to be thought of as a Minor Holiday because without Chanukah the Hellenistic Jews would have ended Judaism and we would all be Christians. So Chanukah is more important then all the other Jewish Holidays because without it Judaism would have ended! This story should be emailed to every Jew!

Knowledge of Jewish customs is good.
I enjoyed the articles on the meaning of Chanukah. We Christians are realizing that the old customs are important to us, too. It was also good to know where the 8 days of light that I hear about so often really came from.
Thanks.

I know I have Jewish Heritage
Why do you sound so angry Mr. BMT, USA
God has love for all. Of course Chanukah should never be a minor Holiday or any Jewish Holiday for that matter, but tolerance for others as we expect tolerance for us. It is beautiful for anyone to be interested in learning.

Chanan and His Violin and other stories
  A prolific master storyteller presents another collection of narratives that span east and west and leap back and forth in time.

The title story takes place in the Warsaw ghetto and bears witness to the courage and defiance of a very young hero.  Other tales take place in diverse locales, as menacing as the streets of Prague and as awesome as the splendid majesty of King Solomon's palace.  Along the way is a world of excitement and adventure.

 Kehot Publication Society and Merkos Publications, the publishing divisions of the Lubavitch movement have brought Torah education to nearly every Jewish community in the world. More than 100,000,000 volumes have been disseminated to date in over 12 languages, both for newcomer as well as for those well versed in Torah knowledge.
