Special Chanukah literary reading: Perhaps you’ve heard of Megillat Esther that Jewish communities read on Purim. But how about Megillat Antiochus? Many Jewish communities throughout history read this apocryphal scroll on Chanukah, but the custom has fallen out of practice in modern times—until now! Join Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinical Intern David in exploring what this ancient text has to say about the Chanukah story and the Jewish people.
