Beginning tonight and ending Monday, December 30, our Jewish brothers and sisters will be celebrating Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights.
Over 2,000 years ago, the Syrian Greeks desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem. They sought to force the Jews to abandon their faith and worship idols.
A small band of faith filled men attacked the Greeks and, against all odds, they defeated them and took back the Temple.
When the Israelites recaptured their temple from the Syrian Greeks, they recovered a single vial of sanctified oil. There was other oil but it was defiled.
