Her book was inspired by a desire to prove (or disprove) Dr. Ernest Martin’s research in The Temples That Jerusalem Forgot. Ms. Sams wrote a second book in 2017, The Jerusalem Temple Mount: A Compendium of Ancient Descriptions expanding the argument in her first book, itemizing and analyzing 375 ancient descriptions of the Temple, Fort Antonia, and environs, all confirming a Gihon location for God’s Temples.1 Her books and articles greatly advance Dr. Martin’s arguments. David Sielaff, ASK Editor Marilyn Sams: The siege of Titus has been the subject of many books and papers, but always from the false perspective of the Jerusalem Temple Mount’s misidentification.2 The purpose of this paper is to illuminate additional aspects of the siege, in order to show how they cannot reasonably be applied to the current models of the temple and Fort Antonia, but can when the “Temple Mount” is identified as Fort Antonia. Conflicts Between the Rebellious Leaders Prior to the Siege of Titus A clarification of the definition of “Acra” is crucial to understanding the conflicts between John of Gischala and Simon of Giora, two of the rebellious [Jewish] faction leaders, who divided parts of Jerusalem 1 Her second book shows the impossibility of the so-called “Temple Mount” and demonstrate the necessity of a Gihon site of the Temples.

  • Religious Studies 300 Second Temple Judaism Fall Term 2020
    Religious Studies 300 Second Temple Judaism Fall Term 2020 (3 credits; MW 10:05-11:25; Oegema; Zoom & Recorded) Instructor: Prof. Dr. Gerbern S. Oegema Faculty of Religious Studies McGill University 3520 University Street Office hours: by appointment Tel. 398-4126 Fax 398-6665 Email: [email protected] Prerequisite: This course presupposes some basic knowledge typically but not exclusively acquired in any of the introductory courses in Hebrew Bible (The Religion of Ancient Israel; Literature of Ancient Israel 1 or 2; The Bible and Western Culture), New Testament (Jesus of Nazareth, New Testament Studies 1 or 2) or Rabbinic Judaism. Contents: The course is meant for undergraduates, who want to learn more about the history of Ancient Judaism, which roughly dates from 300 BCE to 200 CE. In this period, which is characterized by a growing Greek and Roman influence on the Jewish culture in Palestine and in the Diaspora, the canon of the Hebrew Bible came to a close, the Biblical books were translated into Greek, the Jewish people lost their national independence, and, most important, two new religions came into being: Early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism. In the course, which is divided into three modules of each four weeks, we will learn more about the main historical events and the political parties (Hasmonaeans, Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes, etc.), the religious and philosophical concepts of the period (Torah, Ethics, Freedom, Political Ideals, Messianic Kingdom, Afterlife, etc.), and the various Torah interpretations of the time. A basic knowledge of this period is therefore essential for a deeper understanding of the formation of the two new religions, Early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism, and for a better understanding of the growing importance, history and Biblical interpretation have had for Ancient Judaism.

  • Celebrating Hanukkah
    Celebrating Hanukkah Hanukkah Means Dedication The eight-day festival of Hanukkah is celebrated beginning on the 25 of Kislev, a month on the lunar Hebrew calendar that usually falls between the end of November and the end of December on the solar standard calendar. Hanukkah means “dedication,” and the holiday commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the defeat of the Syrian- Greeks in 165 BC. The Syrian-Greek emperor Antiochus IV tried to force the Greek culture and religion upon the Jewish people under his rule. In 168 BC, he declared that the Temple holy to the Jews would be used for the worship of the god Zeus. Soon after, he completely outlawed Judaism and made its practice punishable by death. Mattathias, the High Priest in the Temple, and his sons refused to give up their religion and led a revolt against the Greeks. Mattathias, his family, and those who joined them were called Maccabees (MAC-ah-bees) because Yahuda, Mattathias’ oldest son, was a powerful warrior nicknamed Ha’Maccabee (Ha-MAC-ah-bee), ancient Hebrew for “the Hammer.” The Miracle of the Oil Although they were outnumbered, the Maccabees defeated the Greeks after several years of fighting and reclaimed the Temple. As they prepared to rededicate their defiled Temple, the Jews found only enough pure oil to light the Eternal Light for one day. The oil miraculously lasted for eight days, allowing time for more oil to be pressed from olives and purified for use. The hanukkiyah (ha-NOO-kee-yuh) is a special menorah used only during Hanukkah.

  • Daniel R. Schwartz from the Maccabees to Masada
    Daniel R. Schwartz From the Maccabees to Masada: On Diasporan Historiography of the Second Temple Period Around the time Prof. Oppenheimer invited me to this conference, I was prepar- ing the introduction to my translation of II Maccabees, and had come to the part where I was going to characterize II Maccabees as a typical instance of diasporan historiography. I was thinking, first of all, about the comparison of such passages as I Macc 1:20-23 with II Macc 5:15-16, which both describe Antiochus IV Epiphanes' robbery of the Temple of Jerusalem: I Macc 1:20-23: He went up against Israel and came to Jerusalem with a strong force. He ar- rogantly entered the sanctuary and took the golden altar, the lampstand for the light, and all its utensils. He took also the table for the bread of the Presence, the cups for drink offerings, the bowls, the golden censers, the curtain, the crowns, and the gold decoration on the front of the temple; he stripped it all off. He took the silver and the gold, and the costly utensils... (Revised Standard Version) II Macc 5:15—16: Not content with this (i.e., slaughter and enslavement), Antiochus dared to enter the most holy temple in all the world, guided by Menelaus, who had become a traitor both to the laws and to his country. He took the holy vessels with his polluted hands, and swept away with profane hands the votive offerings which other kings had made to enhance the glory and honor of the place.

  • F14SS Hanukkah Christmasho1
    Holiday Harmony in the Messianic Home Olive Tree Adult Shabbat School Series The Meaning and Message of Hanukkah—or Hanukkah for Gentiles? I. Some Historical Background (What is the Story of Hanukkah?) A. In the month of Chislev (Nov/Dec) in 167 B.C., the Seleucid/Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes IV defiled the temple by erecting a statue of the Greek god, Zeus on the altar of burnt offering on the 15th day. And then, on Chislev 25, he forced the daily sacrifices to cease when he offered a pig on the altar. Judah the Maccabee led a revolt against the Greek forces and retook Jerusalem rededicating the temple exactly three years later on Chislev 25, 164 B.C. (1 Macc 1:54; 4:59). Thus, Hanukkah celebrates Jewish survival with the Feast of Dedication (also the Festival of Lights, see below). B. According to a much later Talmudic tradition (b. Šabb. 21b), when the Maccabees regained control of the temple, there was only enough consecrated oil to light the menorah for one evening. But they lit it anyway, and the oil lasted for eight nights—enough time to obtain more consecrated oil. C. Customs: playing dreidel (spinning top, Heb. sevivon); eating oil-based foods like latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly donuts); giving Hanukkah gelt (gold coins); lighting candles (technically the Hanukkah menorah is called a hanukkiah); singing Hanukkah songs like Hanukkiah Li Yesh (I Have a Chanukkah Menorah), Ocho Kandelikas (Eight Little Candles), Kad Katan (A Small Jug), S'vivon Sov Sov Sov (Dreidel, Spin and Spin), Haneirot Halolu (These Candles which We Light), Mi Yimalel (Who Can Retell) and Ner Li, Ner Li (I Have a Candle).
