A fictional Chanuka story that takes place right before the start of the American Revolutionary War. Except for the ficticious Jewish Mendez family, Jonas, Silas, Jasper and Casper, all the other characters are real. The theme of the story is the historical Jewish impact on Western Civilizatiion. The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
