Happy Hanukkah

We are a few days into the holiday this year, but I wanted to take a moment to wish all those of the faith a happy holiday.

And, for those not of the faith, to give a brief look at what the holiday is about and why its symbolically relevant to Freemasonry as it represents the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem (Second Temple) after its desecration by the forces of the King of Syria Antiochus IV Epiphanes and commemorates the “miracle of the container of oil”.

The video is a bit on the juvenile side, but I think it tells the story well.  For a more “Historical” point of view, you can watch this video from the History Channel.
