What is Chanukah?
Chanukah is a time involved to remembering and celebrating an antique miracle which occured during a time of bravo adversity for the Jewish people.
During classical times, Alexander the Great conquered and ruled Asia Minor (once the Persian Empire.) As a wise ruler Alexander allowed these territories to go on their religious practices. This lasted until the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphenes who outlawed Judaism in Palestine. Antiochus IV had the Jewish temple ruined. Many Jews were killed during this incident. He demanded that they venerate the Greek gods. To do matters worse, he involved the temple to Zeus by sacrificing pigs on the alter.
A unite known as the Maccabees rebelled and took the cathedral back. The cathedral was cleansed and rededicated. This cleansing required a new spay to be built and the holy vessels to be remade. As part of Jewish custom, it was also required that a menorah be lit every day. Although there was only enough oil to light the menorah for one day, somehow it lasted for eight days. This was the birth of Chanukah, or the Festival of Lights.
Listed below are a few Chanuka akin events happening in Baltimore. Have a significant Chanuka and a joyous holiday season!
