in. IL will be observed for eight days
by all Jewish people In the spirit OF
checrfulness and good Will. While no
special service IN held in the synngog
for Chanukah. certain additional sec
lions are incorporated In the ritual
which are read at this time. These
selections are keyed to the note Of

Antiochus Epiphanes, the King of
Syria. wishing to unite al the provin-
ces under his dominion into one ma

his royal mandate n suppress the
religion of The Jews the sacred scrolls
of the law were burned and the Tenn
pie at Jerusalem defiled by erection
of affairs for the worship OF idols and
the Introduction of practices antago-
nistic to the moral scnslbilitics OF
the Jewish people.
The imperialistic policy which the
mailman OF Syria sought to impose
on his Palestinian subjects precipitat-
ed a revolt which led to warfare In
which Judas Maccaheus. son OF Matt

heroic brothers eventually defeated
the Syrians. This final victory over
all the Syrian armies happened ON

Many legends cluster about the
feast OF Chanukah and have been
preserved In the Books of the Macca-
