In the ancient Greek world, under King Antiochus IV, practicing Judaism was forbidden. Faced with the desecration of their Temple in Jerusalem and the imposition of Hellenistic rituals by their Seleucid rulers, the Maccabees rose in defiance. Led by Judas Maccabee and his brothers, they embarked on a relentless struggle against tyranny and religious persecution.

Join the Maccabees as they fight to reclaim their faith, resisting the Seleucid king and the Hellenizing Temple priests who sought to impose Greek culture on their land. Will they succeed in securing the right to practice Judaism as commanded by God? Can they drive out the oppressive Seleucids and restore freedom to their people?

Discover the origins of Hanukkah and its significance for the Jewish people in this gripping tale of courage, faith, and the enduring power of resistance.
