today is the start of chanukah so for those who don't know: the holiday is celebrating the Maccabees, a group of ancient jewish freedom fighters.

the main jewish holy site, the Temple (and rly all of judea), had been conquered by the seleucid empire and repurposed into a temple for greek god Zeus. some upper class jews wanted to accept greek polytheism, letting the ancient tradition of judaism die out in favor of assimilation into empire. this of course was met with resistance from many jews, and that resistance was met with murder, subjugation, and outright religious persecution.as things in jewish history tend to go.

a large group of angry jews, largely poor farmers, who decided they werent afraid of death or imperialists or anything banded together as the Maccabees, named for the rebel leader Judah Maccabee and meaning "hammers". They fought a war against ensconced imperial forces, using largely guerrilla tactics and winning small skirmishes that built up over time into the ultimate victory: retaking the Temple and driving out the seleucids for good. as they celebrated and ritually cleansed the temple in accordance with the torah, the rebel fighters found that much had been taken or destroyed, with only one pot of oil left fit to light the Menorah, the religious lamp (which dates back to Moses himself). though there was only oil enough for one night, the lamp burned for eight nights, which was seen as a miracle and brings us back to the 8 candle lightings of modern day.

chanukah is definitely "not the most important jewish holiday" like many people say, but i wanted to share this story to bring some gravity to this celebratory time of year. we fry latkes and spin dreidels in the company of loved ones to bring joy in the winter, yes. but also, this tradition began as the revolt of an oppressed marginalized people, crushed by a government that did not represent them, left to rot by an upper class who sold their people out for nothing. the maccabees were not trained infantry, or a previous faction of government coming back together; they were just a ton of working class people unifying under a common cause, fighting scrappy battles to destroy the evil they saw looming. if you take anything from this holiday, it is the spirit of the maccabee: redouble your efforts to build and extend solidarity, release your fears of power and the size of our struggle, and dedicate yourself to fighting, in any way that you can. we too can unite, and push back the evil above us, and reclaim our world for all people. happy chanukah 🕎❤️

tldr: a bunch of fed up jewish workers said "we will kill those who would oppress us," and they did, and they won, and now in the 21st century we can too. channel the maccabees. also goyim you can reblog this and take this message to heart too 💅
