a short description on Chanukah:

Bottom line is as with most Jewish festivals; "They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat!"

Seriousely though, interesting story, we kicked the Hellenics out of out Temple and miraculousely oil that enough was to burn only one night, lasted 8 nights, hence we light the candles...

read all about it..Judah The Maccabee, a great warrior.
