Answer:

Explanation:

1. There are few theories on why the books of Maccabees are not part of Jewish scriptures.

The first one is the date; it is believed that the Council of Jamnia only took books that existed for a long time and were unofficially considered canonical when canonizing Hebrew Bible. The events in the old testament go from the Creation to the book of Esther, happening during the rebuilding of the Temple. For them, The Maccabean Revolt was the recent event, happening after these mentioned ones.

The more probable reason, however, lies in the separation of Judaism on two fractures – <em>the Pharisees</em> and<em> theSadducees</em>. While Pharisees lean towards ideas of oral law and tradition, Sadducees reject them and follow the written Torah as the only canon. The Maccabees are believed to be descendant from Pharisees, and quite possibly excluded from canonization by a council of Jamnia because of this reason.

However, the books of Maccabees are still valuable historical account, the one because of which Hanukah is celebrated.

2. Because of the evidence presented above, the answer is - Yes, it is true that the first and second Maccabee books were written as part the Jewish history.

Abraham Maslow suggested that "a person who is lacking food, love, and self-esteem would most likely hunger for food more strong
Nimfa-mama [501]

In this statement, Maslow is arguing that not all of our needs are equally important. Some needs, such as food or thirst, are our priority, and only when we satisfy these do we begin to think about others such as love and self-esteem.

An example that shows this are people who live in extreme poverty and steal food. People in this situation would rather compromise their safety, freedom and maybe even self-worth in order to satisfy their hunger.

However, some evidence points to the opposite as well. For example, soldiers who join the war do so to fulfill abstract needs such as earning respect and finding meaning, even if this means risking their safety, having little to eat and facing many uncomfortable situations. Another example is athletes. Athletes train to a degree that is uncomfortable and hard. They also limit their food intake to certain types of food in order to achieve goals such as self-fulfillment and a higher self-esteem.
