But rather than give in to the pressure to assimilate, a band of Jews who practiced their faith in secret returned to their holy city and rededicated the Temple. Their courageous act and its aftermath form the focus of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. Mindy Ratner and Bill&nbsp;Morelock offer a program which explores the customs and music of the holiday.&nbsp;</p><p> Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Mindy Ratner and Bill Morelock 20510 at http://redriverradio.org Candles Burning Brightly
