Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days of Matisyahu the Hasmonean... Jewish identity totters on the brink as its faithful sons falter, beguiled by the Greek way of life. Families and friendships splinter, and the widening gulf is soon reddened by the blood of those who refuse to cross it. Then, in the little village of Mod’in, everything changes. From the Gophna forests to the battlefields of Emmaus, the widely acclaimed In Those Days, In This Time crackles with the fierce, agonized passions of those who lost all - and of those who risked all - in the triumphant celebration of light and life we know today as the Chanukah miracle.
