I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was the Jewish elite class called?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Whatever the case, tensions between pro and anti-Seleucid Jewish factions led to the 174–135 BCE Maccabean Revolt of Judas Maccabeus (whose victory is celebrated in the Jewish festival of Hanukkah).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
