Torah As Implanted Nature

In the al Hanissim for Chanukah we say להשכיחם תורתך.  What does this mean that the Greeks tried to make us forget learning and how?  In the hakdama of the sefer Yam Hatalmud it says that the pach shemen that Yaakov left behind is the pach of oil the Chasmonaim found.  We see there is a connection between Yaakov and fighting against Yavan, what is this connection?    

In the beginning of the hafladik words of the Bah in siman 47 where he discusses the issue of שלא ברכו בתורה תחילה he says ונראה דכונתו ית' מעולם היתה שנהיה עוסקים בתורה כדי שתתעצם נשמתינו בעצמות ורוחניות וקדושת מקור מוצא התורה ולכן נתן הקב"ה תורת אמת לישראל במתנה שלא תשתכח מאתנו כדי שתתדבק נשמתינו וגופינו רמ"ח איברים ושס"ה גידין ברמ"ח מ"ע ושס"ה לא תעשה שבתורה.  What does the Bach mean since the Torah is a present it will not be forgotten?  Rav Wolbe (volume 2 pg. 93) where he goes through explaining the words of the Bach cites Rav Yeruchem (Daas Chachma U'Mussar volume 1 pg. 9-11) who explains the idea of nature is the inborn natural traits that Hashem planted within an individual.  He extends this further and adds that those that merit to receive from Hashem that which is beyond normal capacity it becomes nature for that person.  Something that is beyond nature becomes nature for that person.  He says when Chazal say (Nedarim 38a) that Moshe kept on forgetting the Torah until Hashem gave it to him as a mattanah it means that the Torah is beyond human grasp but Hashem gave it to Moshe to become part of his nature.  Mankind is now able to be influenced through the Torah.  If the Torah becomes the nature of a person it will not be forgotten just as one doesn't forget their natural character traits for it is part of the makeup of the person.  Forgetting creeps in only when one doesn't feel the Torah is part of the person.  Forgetting means its not part of my teva, it is not part of my general gestalt.  The Greeks wanted the Torah to be studied just as any other chachma.  The mathematics, chemistry, physics, philosophy don't become part of the person.  They are just studies one may learn and forget, learn and forget.  The Greeks said study Torah the same way but don't make it part of you.  It isn't part of your natural programming.  

The Midrash (Vayetzei 69) says  וְהִנֵּה ה' נִצָּב עָלָיו וַיֹּאמַר אֲנִי ה' וגו' (בראשית כח, יג), רַבִּי יוֹסֵי בַּר זִמְרָא פָּתַח (תהלים סג, ב): כָּמַהּ לְךָ בְּשָׂרִי בְּאֶרֶץ צִיָּה וְעָיֵף בְּלִי מָיִם, רַבִּי  רַבָּנָן אָמְרֵי כְּשֵׁם שֶׁנַּפְשִׁי צָמְאָה לְךָ כֵּן רמ"ח אֵבָרִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ בִּי צְמֵאִים לְךָ, the flesh and bones of Yaakov thirsted for Hashem.  They were connected to Hashem.  Yaakov is the complete antithesis to Yavan.  He lived as if the Torah was part of his very essence.  That is why Yaakov is the antidote against Yavan (based upon a shmuzz of R' Elefant.)
