Just a fun tidbit. In Tel Aviv there are two major football teams, Maccabi and Hapoel, both garnering considerable fan bases. Every derby (intercity match) between the two teams is a massive show. Whenever there is a Derby match that happens to coincide with the time of Chanuka celebrations, Hapoel fans usually chant loudly "ANTIOCHUS ANTIOCHUS OLE OLE OLE" I find it funny and interesting.

Another fun fact, "Hapoel" translates to "The Worker", and the literal symbol of many Hapoel clubs are the hammer and sickle, so this is also an ideological derby.

A great sequel to this video would be the establishment of the Hasmonean Dynasty, which ruled a Kingdom of Judea from c. 140 to 37 BCE. They developed an early form of a constitutional monarchy with a king and the Sanhedrin acting as both legislative and judicial. The Great Sanhedrin was even able to try the king at court. The history of the time period is amazing.

2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. Jeremiah 14:2 Why do you think Jeremiah had to make this point that the real jews are black and different shades of brown? Because you red people kept trying to build a religion off of our nationality. And it's easy to understand that you can't convert to someone nationality, using a religion.

Maccabeus has double meaning in hebrew (in a different spelling tough...). Maccabee means hammer מקב But it also is an acronym short for: no god among the gods is like you, god. מכב"י= מי כמוך באלים השם.

I am glad to got around to making this. I remember suggesting it years ago. Very well prepared and documented. Judah Maccabbee actually fought 8 battles recorded by history. Indeed, in the last one he was defeated. The Seleucid armies he fought were no-longer formed in rectangular phalanx formation, but in square roman fashion. This was something Judah was not prepared to face.

@Evelina1995 the "Greeks" refers to the Hellenists and the Hellenizers. The Hellenists were those of Hellenistic culture (the Seleucids in Syria and the Ptolemists in Egypt). Hellenizers refers to the assimilated Jews. The Macabean rebellion was against the Seleucid Hellenists and the Hellenizing Jews that sided with them. The Hellenists from Egypt were ambivalent, seeing the Maccabees as heroes but diminishing the Divine spirit of their rebellion. Hence, the Apocryphal books of the Maccabees, found in Egypt and written in Greek, portrays the Maccabees as heroes but omits the miracle of the Menorah.

I'm totally fine with Maccabees fighting the Greeks, but forcing your practices on your own people and annihilating perceived "traitors" among your own is problematic. The other time it happened, during the first Jewish Roman war in 66-73 CE, it didn't end well. The zealot factions were far busier killing other Jews whom they perceived as "collaborators" and "traitors" than fighting the Romans, which added a significant civil war dimension to the conflict. As a religious Jew, you should know that after the destruction of the second temple, the rabbis and sages forbade any violence against other Jews regardless of their views, the only exception being if they pose a direct physical threat. This is why Jews do not kill heretics, apostates, dissidents or sectarians. Some rabbis hold that the temple was destroyed because Jews fought and killed other Jews, rather than for other transgressions against the Torah.

On DNA tests, they cluster WITH Canaanite DNA samples. Not near, but WITH them. Same as the Lebanese. Jews don’t want to admit that, but peer-reviewed DNA studies don’t lie. Lebanese also claim to be Arabs too, and we know for certain that they are heavily Canaanite ancestry. Lebanese samples on a recent scientific DNA study pegged Lebanese as 93% Canaanite. Lebanese are not Arabs either. Nor are Syrians or Jordanians. They are all native Levantines that were conquered and adopted new identities as Arabs. DNA studies supports this. And we know that the Jews were expelled from Israel, so that leaves the Palestinians to be the descendants of the ancient Canaanites, the only native indigenous people in Israel/Palestine. Well to be fair, the Lebanese could be seen as the indigenous people of Israel/Palestine (Canaan) too along with Palestinians since they are mostly Canaanite DNA.

The term Orthodox was coined in the 19th century in response to Reform Judaism.
