This is the REAL story of Chanukah

what does it mean they wanted to take away our connection that we have to Hashem in doing the Mitzvah they wanted to take away the fact that when we do the Mitzvah we're not doing them because the Mitzvah are smart they appeal to our logic it's a great way to live we wanted to do the Mitzvah just because we're in a relationship and Hashem told us to do the Mitzvah and if it's hashem's wisdom and ultimately even his will then I want to do it and it has nothing to do with whether or not a particular Mitzvah happens to also coincide with my sensibilities they wanted to take away the reason we do it that's right it was a culture War they wanted to change the narrative their success would be if you would stop a Jew on the street in udish and ask him to explain his observance of Torah he would tell you these are our wonderful Traditions that our parents did and they have so much wisdom to them and that's why we continue them and if that's what the average Jew on the street would say that would have meant the heliz had won
