Miracle of the Maccabees

The Chanukah Story

 The Bible is not a mere collection of stories. Rather they are prophetically inspired works. The last generation of prophets were those who began to prophesy before the First Holy Temple was destroyed in 423 BCE, though a number of that generation survived the 70-year Babylonian exile and lived to see the building of the Second Temple. It was they who wrote the last books of the Bible, such as Ezra, and Chronicles.

The question remains, however, why there was virtually nothing written on it in the Talmudic work known as the Mishnah. Why was this?

I suggest that you have a look at What Happened to Tractate Chanukah?
