Derech Hayam and Hanukkah
Following the theme of the Derech Hayam – the disengagement from the Egyptian power, in this lecture we will examine the alliance that Judah Maccabee made with Rome as well as the alliance that the sons of Alexander Yanai made with Rome, alliances that probably led to the destruction of the Hasmonean kingdom. The alliance with foreign powers and, as always – brotherly hatred, lead to the end of Jewish independence.
And with that – we have reached the end of the (sea) road. Derech Hayam.
