According to Israel’s first chief rabbi, the great Abraham Isaac Kook, the world is divided into two distinct realms. Not 'good and evil,' but rather, the 'holy and the not-yet-holy.' Our job in this world is not to abstain from the realities of the physical world, but rather to uplift and to redeem by bringing out the full potential of the not-yet-holy. The battle waged by the Maccabees was not fought in the name of power, but for the sake of imbuing a lost sense of holiness to the people and the Holy Temple. A new DVD, "Reclaiming the Real Hanukkah" by Pastor Keith Johnson, is a documentary about the modern significance of Hanukkah. Let the call of the ancient Maccabees be heard again!

Did you know that the Menorah which was lit in Temple times was different from the modern day "Hanukiah" which is used on Hanukkah?

Pastor Keith Johnson's new documentary set in Israel is timely in light of new Hanukkah archeological discoveries and the world's sudden focus on the Temple Mount, central to the events of the Hanukkah story.

Today's photo shows people immersed in holy prayer at the Western Wall with a fantastic Menorah in the foreground. On each night of Hanukkah, the Menorah at the Western Wall will be lit by various Rabbis and dignitaries.

Yesterday's photo showed the topography and ascension to the Old City of Jerusalem, bringing to life the words of the Bible, as it says: "Arise! Let us ascend to Zion."
