This educational resource explores what our modern understanding of the Hannukah story says about our own Jewish identity, including sources about the impact of Hellenism on Jewish culture and the historical development of the interpretation of the Hasmonean revolt. With a detailed lesson plan, thought-provoking discussion questions, and links to further resources, this is an excellent resource for educators. Created by Makom, the educational wing of the Jewish Agency, this lesson provides an interesting historical context for discussing the nature of a “Jewish state,” now and then.
