Simon Maccabaeus (died 135 BCE) was a son of Mattathias Maccabaeus and thus a member of the Maccabees family.
The Hasmonean Dynasty was founded by a resolution, adopted in 141 BCE, at a large assembly "of the priests and the people and of the elders of the land, to the effect that Simon should be their leader and high priest forever, until there should arise a faithful prophet" (1 Maccabees xiv.
Simon was followed by his third son, John Hyrcanus, whose two elder brothers, Mattathias and Judah, had been murdered, together with their father.

Apparently the name "Hyrcanus" was taken by him as a reignal name upon his accession to power.
He was the son of Simon Maccabaeus and hence the nephew of Judas Maccabaeus, Jonathan Maccabaeus and their siblings, whose story is told in the deuterocanonical books of 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees, and in the Talmud.
John was not present at a banquet at which his father and his two brothers were murdered, purportedly by his brother-in-law Ptolemy.

The disappearance of Simon, also known as Simeon, was the cause of a major blood libelBlood libels are allegations that a particular group kills people as a form of human sacrifice, and uses their blood in various rituals.
Finally declaring the episode a fraud, the cult of Saint Simon was disbanded by Pope Paul VI and the shrine erected to him was dismantled.
Although historians agree that it is highly unlikely that Simon was murdered by Jews, the murder is still promoted as a fact by a handful of extremists.

In today's edition of IMDB's Celebrity News, which is contributed by WENN, an item about Mel Gibson's plans to make a movie about the story of the Macabees uses the phrase "the Jewish church." I probably would have been more offended had the phrase appeared anywhere other than an entertainment gossip column.
The Macabee story really is like a Western, or a story of any team of good heroes fighting evil.
Of course, if Gibson did make the Macabee story into a Christian tale, he wouldn't be the first.

Although I enjoy learning about Judah Macabee (I don't know the correct spelling) and the plight with the Romans, I've always felt a certain kinship with Jews more because I like the whole aesthetic more than the actual religious observances.
I've just always wished I could convert to Judaism to be part of the Jewish culture, without being obligated to actually be religiously Jewish.
I think it's akin to Paul Simon or Leonard Cohen frequently referencing Christianity in their music.
