  1. So, our CEO suggested a fun “homework” assignment—visiting a museum. I chose the Hasmonean Heritage Museum and really enjoyed it! The hands-on exhibits about Modiin’s history were super engaging. The highlight was the interactive timeline and a cool 4D movie. Overall, a unique experience that connected past and present nicely!

  6. I celebrate #Chanukah for its 2191 year old struggle for religious freedom and our people's long fight against despots and tyrants.

    We teach children that long ago and far away we resisted occupiers. We fought to pray, to speak, to eat and live as our people chose, not as the Seleucid governor dictated. Families died to keep kosher. Families took up arms and invented guerilla tactics that defeated local remnants of Alexander the Great's empire. #Maccabees #humanrights #civilrights

  11. ADDITIONAL EDIT: Also not #Maccabees and also not #gelt, sorry. I know this is impossible. Yes, I’ve explained that Maccabees are literally just #normal #secular #history but Pat is being super weird about this.

  16. 🕎 #Hanukkah #history #facts — The #Hasmoneans ("#Maccabees"), who recaptured the great Temple in #Jerusalem from #Antiochus IV, were great freedom fighters but violent rulers.

    🕎 E.g, in 135, John Hyrcannus I, one of Simon Maccabbee’s sons, took over because Simon’s other two sons were unavailable: Simon’s son-in-law had murdered them, along with Simon himself.

    🕎 The Hasmoneans' tyrannical leadership would pave the way for #Christmas...

    Stay tuned...

    Alexander the Great inadvertently set the stage for the events of Hanukkah? Do you know how?

    By dying in 323 BCE without a succession plan. After his death, three Greek generals — #Antigonus, #Ptolemy, and #Seleucus — divvied up Alexander's conquered lands, each establishing a dynasty. It was a Seleucid leader in Syria who, some generations later, desecrated the #Jewish #Temple in #Jerusalem, prompting the #Maccabees to rebel.
