Episode Synopsis

Superficially, the struggle between the Maccabees and the ancient Greek Empire looked like a political struggle for freedom, a military fight. But beneath the surface, it really was a struggle of values. The brave Maccabees confronted a world superpower in order to defend our eternal values. And when we light Chanukah candles, we fulfil that same mitzvah to publicise and proudly proclaim our faith and mission to ourselves, our families and our world.
