The Story of Hanukkah QUOTES

1 " Like the Maccabees, most people want the right to pray to God in their own way. This right is called freedom of religion. The spirit of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is shared by all people who love freedom. "

― Norma Simon , The Story of Hanukkah

2 " But one of the fearful villagers stepped forward and said, "I will pray to the Greek gods." Mattathias turned red with anger over the man's betrayal. He seized a sword and killed the Jewish traitor and one of the king's soldiers. "

― Norma Simon , The Story of Hanukkah

3 " A dreidel is a four-sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side. The letters are Nun, Gimmel, Hay and Shin, which stand for the phrase "Nes Gadol Haya Sham," or "A Great Miracle Happened There." In Israel dreidels have the letters Nun, Gimmel, Hay and Peh, which stands for "A Great Miracle Happened Here. "
