pie provoked bitter revolt in which
the Jews. led by the famous Judas
Maccabeus, and his brothers, finally
defeated the Syrian armies, re.entcred
the Temple and rededicared ii as the
center OF Jewish worship. In honor OF
this redediCatiOn, the feast of Chan

song, and thanksgiving.
The holiday is marked by special
prayers Of thanks and psalms of praise
inserted into the daily ritual, and by
the hndling of the Channukah lights.
The usual custom is to light one light
on the first day, two on the second,
three on the third. and so on. adding
one each successive day Of the feast.
As TO the reason for this custom OF
kindling the lights. legend tells that
when Judas MaCcadeus and his vic

torious army rededicated the Temple
and eleahsed II OF all the Impurities
OF fdolatry. he found that there was
only enough pure oil to keep the per-
petual light burning for one day, and
1t would be long before new oil could
be procured. But miraCulously. this
small amount OF oil lasted for eight
days, and the perpetual light was not
eXtinguished. For this reason 1t was
ordained that every year lights should
be kindled, for eight days in every
household.
1t became customary for the lights
to be placed in the windows and the
doorways, so that the streets Of the
cities be lighted up. Thus the feast
came to be known also as the Feast
of Lights.
The Jewish date for the beginning
Of this feast is the twenty.filth OF the
month OF Kislev. According to one
tradition the reason that Judas select
ed this date is because it fell exactly
three years after Antiochus had de.
filed the Temple: according TO anoth-
er tradition 1t is because that was also
the day when the Israclites. after he,
ing delivered from Egypt. completed
the Tabernacle in the wilderness.
