Modern Maccabee
The Chanichim will learn 4 aspects of the Maccabim that we need to emulate in our day:
1. The Torah is meant to infuse every part of our lives as individuals and as a nation.
2. In everything we do, we can’t just leave it up to Hashem, we have to also put in our own effort
3. We need to stand up for our beliefs, even when many others might not agree.
4. We need to realize the importance of Jewish sovereignty- of being in charge of our own destiny

The Rebbe asked: "And what about Chanukah? Can the inmates light Chanukah candles?"

One cannot fathom the warmth and hope this brings, and how this will uplift his spirits in such a dark environment.
