Divorce is devastating.
Designs That Fit
But where the marriage is unbearable and be-
yond repair, then the alternative of divorce
should be undertaken so that a new and hope-
fully better life can emerge.
Only in the event of an irrevocable breakdown
of the marriage should you contact me.

to abandon their customs and
ancient laws, and they re-
volted. The story of Chanukah
is the story, of the revolt
against the Greek-speaking
upper crust of the Seleucid em-
pire and their collaborators
among the Jews. The Mac-
cabees were not fighting for in-
dividual liberty as we under-
stand it.
We think in terms of a mod-
ern pluralistic society with
civil rights, in which differing,
even antagonistic, points of
view have legitimate standing.
Our views are colored by the
situations and laws of the
countries where we live, such
as the USA or Australia, and
colored by the struggles going
on around us, as in Argentina
or South Africa. The Mac-
cabees did not think pluralisti-
cally at all.
The First Book of Maccabees
tells us that the incident which
sparked the Maccabean Jewish
revolt was the slaying by
Judah the Maccabee's father,
Mattathias, of a Jew in his vil-
lage who was about to offer
sacrifice publicly at the hea-
then altar, as required by the
king's officers. After that, Mat-
tathias and his five sons fled to
the hills.
In their opposition to An-
tiochus' standardization of
religious cults, they were de-
fending the established rights
of the Jews in the Seleucid em-
pire to follow their customs and
opposing the arbitrary abroga-
tion of these rights. But since
the continued observance', of '
these customs maintained the
Jews as a distinct nation, they
were also fighting for Jewish
national survival.
In their fight for the con-
tinuation of Jewish customs,
they had no scruples about
coercing, persecuting and even
killing other Jews who did not
conform to their version of
Judaism — no pluralism for
the Maccabees!
The Maccabean revolt was at
first a minority movement.
The official Jewish spokesmen
and much of the Jewish popu-
lation 'were hostile to it. The
Maccabeans carried on a
double-edged campaign
against foreign oppression and
internal disintegratiOn, suffer-
ing terrible losses on the way.
Chanukah is the earliest occa-
sion upon which martyrs of
conscience appear, persons
who are willing to die rather
than forsake their religious
precepts. It celebrates the first
attempt to demand the princi-
pal of religious and cultural di-
versity within the state, at that
time the Seleucid empire.
Here, Chanukah has universal
implications for the rights of
groups to be different while
equal. However, this is a mod-
' ern understanding of the
struggle. The Maccabeans
themselves had no such inten-
tions;
Chanukah also shows that
the only effective answer to re-
pression of ideas is a positive
affirmation of the threatened
principles and values.
