The Miracle of the Maccabim

There are warriors, there are tzadikim, and there are legends

My father Matisyahu and my brothers the Maccabees, they were all of these things

For without them, who knows where we the Jewish people would be

Years ago, Yisrael was under the rule of the evil Greek king, Antiochus

Who hated the Torah and wanted to destroy the Jewish spirit in us all

I have had enough of these Jews and their burdensome Torah

I have given them every chance to embrace Greek culture and ritual, yet many of them still refuse

Yisrael is under Greek rule and its citizens shall live as such, all of them

Scribe, write me this decree and see that it is sent across the land to all of the Jews

No more Torah, no more Mitzvot, and no more Judaism
