2024 Chanukah Potluck Party and Auction 2024
Like most Jewish holidays, Chanukah fits into the simple pattern of “they tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat.”
The origin of the holiday dates back to a group of Jewish rebels called the Maccabees who carried out a mutiny against the Seleucid Greek power that was occupying the land of Israel in 167 BCE. The odds of the Maccabees defeating the powerful Greek army was akin to Tunisia winning the World Cup.
Yet the Maccabees prevailed, and upon their victory, they entered the Temple in Jerusalem, which had been ransacked. They sought to rededicate the Temple by rekindling its giant golden menorah.
Join Us...
