The official record of Hanukkah is 1 Maccabees. The Jews blended with the Greeks and got smote. Lighting the Menorah was the sign that the temple was cleansed and the #torah restored. I light a 7 candle candlestick to commemorate that cleansing but also looking forward to the never-defiled Menorah Yeshua is bringing with the temple not made with hands at His return. All mankind will go to Jerusalem for Sukkot in the future. If the Torah will be kept when the #messiah returns, why not start today?
