Revealing mistakes: The movie is supposed to take place around the time of Hanukkah, which can occur from late November to late December. The kids are often dressed in winter coats and scarves, but there are leaves on the trees, the shrubs are in full foliage, and the grass is green. The leaves are usually gone from the trees in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the movie is supposed to take place, by the end of October.

Quotes:

Rabbi Lewis: Rabbi LewisWhen Judah was asked by his companions, 'How can we, few as we are, fight back against so great of a multitude?', Judah replied, 'It's not the size of our army, it is the strength of our faith.'
