Thank you Dr. Abramson for this video series. I am a Christian studying the period between Malachi and Matthew and I really enjoyed learning more about the Maccabean revolt from a knowledgeable Jewish historian.

I find myself generally happy just to think that every time I finish my homeworks, I can watch these lectures.

I remember sitting and listening to the horrible account of the desecration of the Holy Temple, I recoiled in disgust . The perpetrators needed to feel the hammer and they did. And heck I wasn't even Jewish. Keep up the good work.

From an ardent Orthodox Christian follower; another great lecture professor! A wonderful message for all people of faith! The story of the miracle and the message to resist giving up one's religious values is the reason why the Book of Maccabees is included in the Orthodox Christian Bible.

You filled in some nice gaps for me Dr, thank you again....the 5 years I spent in New Jersey with lots of Jewish friends and teachers, we gentiles learned a bit about this history....but not much....and back then I was more interested in spinning the dreidle.....even though I didn't know what the letters were or what they represented....shalom.

I enjoyed this lecture very much.
I find the Maccabean revolt with the miraculous nature of their military triumph to be highly inspiring.
A true picture of uncompromising faith & a tremendous zeal for holiness.
Thank you 😊🙏
@MichelOlga7
I find your last commentary fascinating and truthful. I do see life is a big circle and understand the drive to hold your uniqueness in a world that is compliant.

Thanks again Rabbi for another splendid, informative video. I’m still mystified why the average Charedi High school including the one I attended, never felt it was important enough to teach Jewish history. I find that since I started learning Navi in conjunction with your videos, it has only buttressed my Faith in Hashem.
Moreover, so many of the stories as well as the protagonist aren’t depicted as mythical prodigies. Rather, very much relatable down to earth human beings, that earned their enviable status as a result of constantly working on elevating their characters using the Torah’s guiding principles.
Thank you again for all your wonderfully presented and extremely informative videos, past, present and future.
Happy Chanuka.
