Hanukkah Day 6Torah Readings: Numbers 28:1-15 and Numbers 7:42-47
Audio of Hebrew/English blessings and Hanukkah songs
The Hanukkah story can be found in the 1 Maccabees Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The books of Maccabees are are considered deuterocanonical books: books that are believed to be historically accurate and valuable but not divinely inspired. In addition, Josephus, a first century historian is a great resource. Josephus' recounting of Hanukkah can be found in Jewish Antiquities, Book 12 Chapter 5 through Book 13 Chapter 7. Below are these documents in their entirety.
