Ask For Help

Who Wants Help? Stuck on a particular question? Visit the Judaism Forum to ask others if they have the answer.

If you think the question is "Who Wants to be a Millionaire," then you are missing something. The real question is "Who Wants to be a Maccabee!" 

The Maccabees are the heroes of the Hanukkah story. It is believed the source of their tenacity, which enabled them to drive the Assyrians out of Judea against great odds, came from their steadfast faith in one God. The Maccabees won back the right of the Jews to practice Judaism thereby preserving monotheism in the world. The Maccabees also reestablished the political independence of the Jewish people and rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem. Hanukkah proclaims the message of the prophet Zachariah: "Not by might, not by power, but by My spirit." 

Do you have faith, tenacity and spirit? Do you have what it takes to be a Maccabee? Take this quiz to prove it!
