In the second century BCE, the Syrian-Greeks, led by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, ransacked and desecrated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Shabbat, circumcision, Torah study, and adherence to kashrut (Jewish dietary laws) were all outlawed. In an act of heroism and faith, Judah Maccabee and his brothers rose up and led a successful revolt against the Syrian-Greek army, enabling them to reclaim and rededicate the Holy Temple to the service of God. This small band of Maccabees determined to battle the most powerful army in the world—and they won. Their faith and courage went beyond normal human nature.
