An Israeli professor’s menorah collection reveals how the State of Israel uses the Chanukah story to inspire victory in the current chapter of the Jewish people’s history.

For eight days and nights every winter, Jews around the globe celebrate a miraculous spiritual and military victory that continues to fuel the Jewish people’s drive to survive.

Professor Shalom Sabar’s unique menorah collection reveals the ways in which the modern-day Jewish state views itself as an extension of the brave Maccabees who vanquished Israel’s enemies 2,000 years ago.
