It is the story of a small people who took on the Greek-Seleucid Empire to defend their religious freedom and political independence—and won!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Books of the Maccabees were preserved in Greek. Abraham Kahana was the first to translate them into Hebrew, followed later by A. S. Hartom. More recently, Books I and II were published in a scholarly edition translated by Rappaport and Schwartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sentence that follows about educational systems is garbled in the supplied Hebrew. Its apparent meaning is that, for various reasons, these books have been difficult to teach, partly because of their challenging biblical language and their many departures from the central narrative. Megillat Hanukkah aims to overcome these barriers and give Hebrew readers in Israel and abroad a concise, clear, and flowing account of Hanukkah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book’s chapters correspond to the eight days of Hanukkah. It is based entirely on the Books of the Maccabees and supplementary sources from rabbinic literature. The retelling is both scholarly and faithful to the sources of the period, while its style and literary form make it suitable for the general public and school students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Chagai Ben-Artzi lives in Beit El and teaches Bible and Jewish thought at teacher-training colleges in Jerusalem and at Bar-Ilan University. In his educational work, he combines commitment to the Torah of Israel with an academic and scientific approach.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alef to Tav","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53486299971896,"sku":"HEB-MHSC","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/9497\/8104\/files\/Book_1_b6e2cb32-77e9-4f42-bfa4-bab2f1adb1f1.png?v=1792540383","url":"https:\/\/mysefer.com\/products\/megillat-hanukkah-softcover-pamphlet-%d7%9e%d7%92%d7%99%d7%9c%d7%aa-%d7%97%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%9b%d7%94","provider":"My Sefer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
