- Faced with the might of the Greek Empire, some Jews in the ancient world tried to become more Greek than a tub of yogurt. Others, such as the Hasmoneans, stood up for their Jewish values â€” no matter the cost. But just how far were the Maccabees prepared to go to ensure the continuation of the Jewish people and why do we remember them to this day?

The Jewish Story Explained is based on the book "Letters to Auntie Fori: 5,000 Years of Jewish History and their Faith" by Martin Gilbert
