The Triumph of Chanukah
Because Chanukah usually occurs in December, it is sometimes thought of as the "Jewish Christmas." It isn't, of course. And yet it is fair to say that the reason for Chanukah's popularity – especially in America, where it is the most widely observed Jewish holiday after Passover and Yom Kippur – is precisely its proximity to Christmas.
Chanukah used to be regarded as a minor half–holiday, cheerful but low–key. It has become something bigger and brighter in response to Christmas, which transforms each December into a brilliant winter festival of parties, decorations, and music.

Chanuka: The Fight for What's Right
For part of this week and next week we're celebrating Chanuka! Chanuka commemorates the revolt of the Maccabees, (possibly the first ever Israel Defense Forces in history!) against the wicked king Antiochus. It wasn't enough for Antiochus to simply control the land and people of Israel – he wanted to control the SOULS of the people.
Make no mistake, unlike Haman, Hitler, Torquemada, and Hamas, Antiochus had no specific interest in killing any Jews, he simply wanted the Jews to convert. He wanted them to abandon their religion, their principles and their beliefs.
