Hypothetical:
The year is 165 BCE
The Syrian Greeks have been utterly routed.
Yerushalayim is under Jewish hegemony.
Then the Maccabees decide to leave the contaminated Beit Hamikdash alone. The idols remain. Yes they have liberated it but not rededicated it. They even allow alien service to continue status quo ante at the Temple Mount.
What celebration would we have then?
Hallel?
Nerot?
Or
Fasting?
Keenot?
Best Regards,
