In the days of Matityahu, the son of Yochanan the High Priest, the Hasmonean and his sons… You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous.

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah when Jews all over the world begin 8 days of celebrating God’s miracles during the Temple times, including the miraculous victory of a small Jewish army over the mighty Seleucid Greeks. One wonders why must we always be the few facing the many? We see in the Bible an earlier occasion when God stated, “You have too many troops with you for me to deliver Midian into their hands; Israel may claim for themselves the glory due to Me, thinking “Our own hand has brought us this victory.” (Judges 7:2). Defeating enemies far greater in size strengthens our faith and removes any doubt as to the cause of our triumph. This Hanukkah, young Israeli soldiers will be hard at work protecting the nation so that others can enjoy the festival.
