The sins of Israel in the time of the Greeks were: Fraternizing with the Greeks, studying their culture, profaning Shabbat and Holy Days, eating t'reifa and neglecting Jewish tahara.1 The punishment-tribulation was the spiritual destruction2 of the Sanctuary, death, and slavery in exile. Through teshuva3 and mesirat nefesh,4 that great, miraculous Divine salvation - the miracle of Chanuka - came about.

FOOTNOTES
1. Purity. The term "family purity" (for taharat hamishpacha) describes Torah laws concerning marriage, particularly mikva, and all observances related to family sanctity. See Sh'vat 21; Nissan 10.
2. The defilement of the Sanctuary, its altar, and the famous cruses of oil. The physical destruction centuries later was by the Romans.
3. "Return," or "repentance," a frequent theme in Torah and Chassidus. See for example Tishrei 3 to 8.
4. Total devotion, to the point of martyrdom.
