Miracle of the Maccabees was written, produced, and directed by Chaim Clorfene and Simcha Gottlieb, whose additional credits include many pioneering Jewish educational films, videos, radio programming, books, and multimedia. Together, they created the classic radiodrama, "The Mysterious Golem of Prague," starring Leonard Nimoy - recently remastered and re-released on CD. They always appreciate feedback, and can be contacted at gotsimcha@gmail.com.

Great Play!
It was so inspiring to listen to a "real" story about Chanukkah that tells the truth about what happened instead of focusing on the cute little myths. May the spirit of the Maccabees live on in all of us during these times. I would love to teach this play to our synagogue's children--how do I get a script?

2nd Chanukah to Jan in Oxnard
thank you Jan for the reassurance that I will find someone in Utah. It is difficult here at best. We are now celebrating our second chanukuh, and what a wonderful time we are having. Thank G-d. Shalom,
