    I recently saw for the first time the ‘Macabees’ show from the JCM and my kids arent the only ones who learnt from it and enjoyed it…I really really enjoyed it and learnt so much!
    Thank you to all those that worked so hard in educating us.

    I also just sew the film Macabees which I believe was directed by the same person who is Judah the Macabee. It is really well done and looks great!
    There are not many Jewish films out there and it was nice to be able to put something Jewish on that was Kosher and also done well!
