What, Exactly, Did the Greeks Do to Us? (Part 1) (Hilchos Megilah v'Chanukah 3:1)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This afternoon (12/12/22), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we began this year's learning of Hilchos Chanukah! The last time we did this thoroughly was in December 2020, and in December 2021 we focused on the halachos of the Menorah in the Mikdash, along with assorted other Chanukah topics. This year we have a new resource at our disposal: the Yad Peshutah commentary of R' Nachum Rabinovitch, thanks to AlHaTorah. I'm excited to see what new insights this yields! -----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות מגילה וחנוכה ג:איד פשוטה שםמשנה מדות ב:גרמב"ם - איגרת תימןמגילת אנטיוכוספרקי דרבי אליעזר פרק כזבראשית רבה ב:דמגילת תענית פרקים ה,ז -----The Torah content for the month of Kislev has been sponsored by Serena and Paul Koppel, who want to be makir tov and express gratitude.-----If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
