What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

we began in last year the mayamer of alhanissim vallaporcon valaguras of top shinhoff tess of the lava chair and we're hopped to if base the second paragraph the second section the focus of our class was that when our sages instituted hanukkah and they wrote to the prayers for hanukkah they described the miracle of chanukah as one of bimei mates is when the assyrian greeks stood up against the jewish people and they compelled them to forget your tithe and to violate the laws of your will and the rabbi dissects those words why does it say to make them forget all said no to make them forget you're tired the same is true in the next description it should have said aloha vera maha mitzvahs to make them violate the mitzvahs in fact if you read the history of chanukah you have it in se for hamakabim the book of the maccabees and other places where the chanukah story is recorded there were many mitzvahs that were outlawed and that the jews were forced to violate could have said but he says explains he bases this on a minor of his father-in-law and then develops it further that the ivannim actually the greeks many of them if we talk about greek culture and greek philosophy many of them were great intellectuals which is why hellenism was so attractive and appealing for so many jews because this was not just a group of barbarians even though especially looking back today at some of their practices they were quite barbaric but relative to the ancient pagan world the hellenist hellenistic culture came with the promise of progress
