G-dcast Spins Hanukkah!

If you are a regular reader of this blog, or even just pop in once in a while, you know that we love g-dcast - a website that posts weekly cartoon interpretations of the weekly Torah portion. They're smart, funny, and relevant!

I posted this last year in time for Hanukkah, and thought I would post it again. Time to revisit the story of Hanukkah - is it the one you remember from your childhood? Any differences?




Consider these questions once you view the clip:
  • What are the four letters on the sides of a dreidel? What do they stand for?
  • What sorts of things did the Greeks outlaw?
  • What did the Greeks do to the Temple?
  • How did people react to the new Greek laws? What were the different reactions?
  • What were the different ways in which people rebelled?
  • What was the one miraculous thing, according to the narrator?
  • What happened when the Maccabees finally won?
  • How long did the oil last?
