The Maccabees were Jewish rebels who freed Judea from the yoke of the Seleucid Empire. Chanukkah is not just a mid-winter festival featuring candles and fried delicacies, it celebrates a military victory, and securing religious freedom, over the Seleucid Empire. Additionally, the revolt was a civil war involving those Jews who were loyal to G-d and those who had adopted the Hellenism of the Seleucids.
