10-THE RHODE ISLAND HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1978 Chanukah-Great Victory For Religious Freedom By Joseph Lewlu One of the most joyous festivals of the Jewish year occurs during the month of December. It's called Chanukah and this year the first day of the eight-day holiday falls on December 25 which corresponds to the 25th day of Kislev on the Jewish calen­ d~r. The holiday celebrates the first great victory for religious freedom - a right which all Americans enjoy under our Constitution. About 2300 years ago, the world's history underwent a great change. Alexander the Great defeated the Persian armies and became ruler over the then civilized world. He was friendly toward the Jews, showed respect for their religion, and allowed them to be a self-governing community. After his death, however, Palestine, then known as Judea, the homeland of the Jews, ·became the battleground between rival generals. Things came to a head when Antiochus became king of Syria. He considered himself to be a god and determined to spread Greek culture and ideas by force. In every Jewish temple, he set up Greek idols and forced Jews to worship them. Some Jews betrayed their religion but the masses suffered death rather than give up their religious faith .- Among those who were slain for their refusal to worship the Greek idols were Hannah and her seven sons. Those Jews who tended to conform to the ways of the oppressors were called Hellenists. When things seemed darkest in this hour of Jewish history, a revolt broke out in Modin, a small town northeast of Jerusalem. A Greek general came to the town to make the Jews worship the idols he thee among the gods, 0 Lord?" Judah knew Light before the Holy Ark burning for one die the first night, two on the second night, set up in the center of the town. He called his men could not meet the Syrians in open day.
