Chanukah Torah Readings in a Nutshell
On Chanukah we celebrate the re-dedication of the Temple by the victorious Maccabee forces, a Temple that had been defiled by the Greeks. In fact the Hebrew word "Chanukah" means dedication.
In a similar vein, the Chanukah Torah reading discusses the dedication of the desert Tabernacle.
