the celebration of chanukah
The candle light flickered in Dorothy Abramawitz's eyes. In her tiny, pudgy right hand she held the shammus, the host candle, and burned the wick until the flame was glowing brightly. While she began to light the first candle on the menorah, she heard her mother's voice singing softly, "Boruch Atoh Adonoy, Eloheinu Melech Hoolom, Asher Kideshonu Bemitzvosov Vetzivonu Lehadlik Ner Chanukah." Blessed are You, Lord our God King of the universe, Who has sanctified us by His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the lights of Chanukah. She passed the shammus candle to her sister, who lit the second candle and then passed it to her brother to light the third. "Boruch Atoh Adonoy, Eloheinu Melech Hoolom, Sheoso Nisim La'avoseinu Bayomim Hoheim Bizman Hazeh." Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who wrought miracles for our fathers in days of old, at this season.

A man named Matthias and his five sons, the Maccabaeus, stood up to Antiochus and his men. The Jews definitely have cause for celebration. Antiochus, the Syrian-Greek king, began to suppress and oppress the Jewish religion and attempted to force paganism upon the Jews. On top of her mother's head was a yammika, the traditional hat that the men of the family wore on their heads whenever they prayed or gave a blessing. Many songs are sung, and a good time is had by all (JSOURCE). They brought the pigs in alive, and let them walk over the thresh hold of the Temple. He placed non-Jewish priests in their Temple, adorned them with pagan idols and tried forcing the Jews to worship them. By now, there was a large collection of different colored wax on the wooden table. They restacked the alters with new stones, washed pig's blood from the walls, burned the idols of other gods, and swept the floors. The candles are to burn all the way out, undisturbed. Shifting them from the menorah toward her mother, she had to laugh. Then began the time of rebuilding and rededicating the Temple.
