Chanukah... Are we simply celebrating miracles of long ago or experiencing our own version of this story in our daily lives in the 21st century?

Grateful
I ask forgiveness if this is improper, but although I am Christian I am study Judaism. I found this teaching wonderfully helpful, and wish you all a very happy Chanukah.

PRAYING FOR THE MACCABBEES, AGAIN!!
Well My Goodness it sonds that according to Rabbi Kagan splendid thoroughly deep rendition of the true story of Chanukah we could easily extrapolate to what is happening in Eretz Israel now, today!

Isn't the israeli governement of Natanyahu a puppet of the Obama government, which is a puppet of the U.N.? Giving away Jewish Land to our own murderers for nothings in return?

WHERE ARE, PLEASE GOD, OUR OWN MACCABEES TO COME TO OUR RESCUE?

WOW!
This is an unbelievable class, Rabbi Kagan was a truly gifted and brilliant man. It was a wonderfully pleasurable experience listening to this special Rabbi describe both the history and depth of Chanukah in such a fascinating way. I hope to hear more classes from Rabbi Kagan OBM. Thanks to Chabad.org for posting this
