You’ve heard of Turducken, which is a de-boned Turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which is stuffed with a de-boned chicken. This year, on Thanksgiving, which is also the first day of Chanukah, we have the opportunity to have a new stuffed turkey delicacy, which I call TurLatke. TurLatke is a turkey stuffed with Latkes! Yum!! I actually don’t know if this will work. I have yet to attempt to cook this gastronomic chimera for myself (mostly because I have this sense of loyalty to the foods of our holidays. For example, I feel that I should only cook latkes during Chanukah, much in the same way I feel I should only eat matza during Passover.) Yet, based on my years of cooking experience, I feel safe to recommend that if you attempt to make TurLatke that you fry the latkes first, before stuffing them in the turkey. I am actually planning on making TurLatke for my family (albeit on the night before Thanksgiving. For one, Wednesday November 27th is the first night of Chanukah, and secondly, I am having Thanksgiving dinner at my sister’s house on Thursday and she is making her own Turkey.) If you do decide to try to make this dish, I would love to know how it goes. In all seriousness, there is actually a real connection between Chanukah, Thanksgiving and the holiday of Sukkot. You may be familiar with the idea that, when the Pilgrims wanted to celebrate their religious freedom, they turned to the Bible and they modeled their Thanksgiving feast on the biblical holiday of Sukkot. Sukkot refers to the autumn harvest, a feast where we are to invite others to join us, and a time of being thankful. And, believe it or not, Chanukah is also modeled after Sukkot. This requires a little more explanation. The story of Chanukah begins when the Assyrian Greeks desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem in about the year 167 B.C.E. Among the many ways this had an impact on the Jewish people was that it prohibited the Jews from being able to celebrate the holidays properly. The Jews fought for their freedom and with the help of the Maccabees, prevailed in an incredible victory. Immediately, the Jewish community went to work cleaning up the Temple in order to properly worship God. Considering that the Holiday of Sukkot had just recently passed, it is very likely that the priests decided to celebrate Sukkot – albeit a little late. (There is precedent in the Torah for celebrating a holiday after it has passed if one wasn’t able to celebrate it. Specifically, the Torah refers to a second Passover in Numbers 9:6.) This makes a lot of sense. Sukkot is the only eight-day holiday mentioned in the Torah. Chanukah is also an eight-day holiday. In other words, it is possible that it was crucial that the oil lasted 8 days in order to properly celebrate Sukkot. The idea that this miracle happened created this new celebration called Chanukah. Another connection is that both holidays celebrate in a way that is meant to publically show one of God’s miracles (the sukkah, which is built outside of our homes, publicizes the miracle of God freeing the Jews from Egyptian slavery. The Chanukah menorah, which is to be placed in a street-facing window, publicizes God’s miracle of the oil lasting 8 days.) In the end, I guess you can say that the calendral concurrence of Chanukah and Thanksgiving is not so new. Chanukah and Thanksgiving both have a common ancestor – Sukkot. And, who knows, maybe the Turlatke has already been invented. Either way, I hope this year’s fourth Thursday in November is a joyous and delicious one for you and your family. B’Shalom, Rabbi Todd Chizner 3 TEMPLE NEWS Cantor’s Song We recently read from the Torah portion Noach, the story of Noah. This portion tells of how Noah was instructed by God to build an ark to save himself, his family and two of each kind of living creatures as God was sending a flood to destroy mankind. Coincidentally, it was also a time when our Catholic brothers and sisters remember St. Francis of Asssisi and his great love of animals and the environment. At this time, processions of animals are brought to the church for a special blessing called “The Blessing of the Animals”. Today, over 100 million families in the United States have dogs, cats and other animals sharing their homes. Many of you who know me also know of my great love of animals and that I have two big dogs, five cats adopted from local animal shelters and a feral (wild) cat that lives on my patio. (I also trapped her, had her spayed and released and adopted out her five kittens). The bond between person and pet is like no other relationship, because the communication between fellow creatures is at its most basic. Eye to eye, heart to heart, a person and his or her dog or cat are two creatures sharing love. It is no wonder that we enjoy the opportunity to share with our pets a celebration of that most special bond. Certainly the love we give and receive from a pet can draw us more deeply into the larger circle of life and into the wonder of our common relationship to our creator. The first chapter of the Bible, which we read right after the High Holidays, tells us that God created heaven and earth and all its creatures. When God was through, God said, “ This is good”. We humans have the unique ability to consciously relate to God. We have the ability to pray and develop a personal relationship. Animals do not necessarily communicate with their maker, but I do believe that animals have an unconscious relationship with God as creator. Our pets display an inner harmony that we humans do not always have. When the Bible says that we humans have been given “dominion over the fish of the sea” and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth, it means that God has given us a very special task. We have been given the task of being the stewards of God’s creations. It is our responsibility to care for one another as well as the other living creatures that God has made. Judaism places great stress on the proper treatment of animals.

  • F14SS Hanukkah Christmasho1
    Holiday Harmony in the Messianic Home Olive Tree Adult Shabbat School Series The Meaning and Message of Hanukkah—or Hanukkah for Gentiles? I. Some Historical Background (What is the Story of Hanukkah?) A. In the month of Chislev (Nov/Dec) in 167 B.C., the Seleucid/Greek ruler Antiochus Epiphanes IV defiled the temple by erecting a statue of the Greek god, Zeus on the altar of burnt offering on the 15th day. And then, on Chislev 25, he forced the daily sacrifices to cease when he offered a pig on the altar. Judah the Maccabee led a revolt against the Greek forces and retook Jerusalem rededicating the temple exactly three years later on Chislev 25, 164 B.C. (1 Macc 1:54; 4:59). Thus, Hanukkah celebrates Jewish survival with the Feast of Dedication (also the Festival of Lights, see below). B. According to a much later Talmudic tradition (b. Šabb. 21b), when the Maccabees regained control of the temple, there was only enough consecrated oil to light the menorah for one evening. But they lit it anyway, and the oil lasted for eight nights—enough time to obtain more consecrated oil. C. Customs: playing dreidel (spinning top, Heb. sevivon); eating oil-based foods like latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly donuts); giving Hanukkah gelt (gold coins); lighting candles (technically the Hanukkah menorah is called a hanukkiah); singing Hanukkah songs like Hanukkiah Li Yesh (I Have a Chanukkah Menorah), Ocho Kandelikas (Eight Little Candles), Kad Katan (A Small Jug), S'vivon Sov Sov Sov (Dreidel, Spin and Spin), Haneirot Halolu (These Candles which We Light), Mi Yimalel (Who Can Retell) and Ner Li, Ner Li (I Have a Candle).

  • Hanukkah and Purim: Similar Yet Different
    Mon 7, 14, 21, 28 Nov 2016 / 6, 13, 20, 27 Heshvan 5777 B”H Dr Maurice M. Mizrahi Course for Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia Hanukkah and Purim: Similar yet Different Introduction -Hanukkah and Purim, the next two holidays, are not in Torah: Both are rabbinic. -Torah only has Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and the three pilgrimage festivals – Pessah, Shavuot and Sukkot. -Both colorful – stay in mind of kids. -Both celebrate Jewish victory over persecution. -Both miraculous: We recite Al HaNissim on both. -Both so important rabbis turned their observance into post-Torah (rabbinic) commandments. YET: -The story of Purim has a book in the Bible (Esther), a tractate in the Talmud (Megillah) and a volume in the Midrash (Esther Rabbah). Hanukkah has none of them. It rates only a few mentions in Talmud [Shabbat 21a-24a], as an appendage to a discussion of what wicks and oils one can use for Shabbat lights. -The Book of Esther does not mention God, yet is in the Bible; the Books of Maccabees do, yet are not in the Bible. -The story of Purim is not known outside the Bible, yet is in the Bible. The events of Hanukkah are known outside the Bible, yet are not in the Bible. -Hallel (psalms of praise for God) recited on Hanukkah, but not Purim. -Hanukkah began with the physical (armed rebellion) and ended with the spiritual (rededication of the Temple). Purim began with the spiritual (prayer and fasting) and ended with the physical (armed resistance to killers). -On Purim, persecutors wanted to kill ALL the Jews.

Dreidels. Judah the Maccabee. Judith the Heroine. The Chanukah Menorah. Blue cardboard boxes of all different colored candles. (As a kid did you try to create an interesting pattern each night?) Chocolate Chanukah coins. The song, Maoz Tzur. “I had a little dreidel...” Clay Menorahs made in Hebrew school. Chanukah is made of memories and for memories. Taste the latkas and jam doughnuts. See the candles burn brightly in the Menorah. Hear the singing of the blessings over the Menorah. Touch the letters engraved on the dreidel: nun, gimmel, hay, shin - “A Great Miracle Happened There.” Chanukah is a special time for family, friends and children. Chanukah is a Jewish holiday celebrating the victory of the weak (militarily) over the mighty, the few (in number) over the many. Chanukah is a celebration of the re-dedication of the Holy Temple after it had been defiled - but not destroyed - by the Greeks. For the Greeks did not wish to destroy the Holy Temple nor the Torah; they wished only to defile the mitzvot (commandments). The Greeks attempted to lessen their holiness, their uniqueness, their impact on our Jewish lives. “We too, have wisdom,” they declared. “We, too, have gods. We, too, have holidays. Know that your Temple is like our temples. The wisdom of your Divine Torah is like our man-made wisdom. There is nothing particularly holy about them.” So what do you say to a child who wants a “Chanukah bush,” or who wants a photograph with Santa? What do you do about the pressure of giving Chanukah presents instead of the Jewish custom of giving Chanukah gelt (money).
