  • What Is Hanukkah? All the Info You Need to Know About Chanukah
    What Is Hanukkah? All the info you need to know about Chanukah http://www.chabad.org/holidays/chanukah/article_cdo/aid/102911/jewish/What-Is-Hanukkah.htm Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods. The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication,” and is thus named because it celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple (as you’ll read below). Also spelled Hanukkah (or variations of that spelling), the Hebrew word is actually pronounced with a guttural, “kh” sound, kha-nu-kah, not tcha- new-kah. What Chanukah Commemorates In the second century BCE, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks), who tried to force the people of Israel to accept Greek culture and beliefs instead of mitzvah observance and belief in G-d. Against all odds, a small band of faithful Jews, led by Judah the Maccabee, defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G-d. When they sought to light the Temple's Menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously, they lit the menorah and the one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity. To commemorate and publicize these miracles, the sages instituted the festival of Chanukah. How Chanukah Is Observed At the heart of the festival is the nightly menorah lighting.

Reminders for the Yom Tov of Chanukah and Hay Teves 5781 With best wishes for a Happy Chanukah, and may we merit, this year, to see the lighting of the Menorah in the third Bais Hamikdosh!! Rabbi Levi Y. Garelik [email protected] * * * Experience has shown that it is best if both husband and wife review the “reminders” each day thoroughly so that miscommunications and last-minute panics can be avoided, and Yom Tov can be truly celebrated joyfully. Please post this on the refrigerator or in a central location. For all the sources – kindly refer to the Hebrew section of the “reminders”. What to prepare before Chanukah begins: 1. Menorahs (Chanukiot): Also for the children (from the age of Chinuch). If one has a Menorah (Chanukiah) with branches, the branches should be shaped diagonally according to the Rambam, and not in a semi-circle as shown on - lehavdil - the Arch of Titus. See a video on this subject on sichosonline.org. [Link: http://theonlinerabbi.com/sichosonline/kislev-preparing-chanukah/] 2. Olive Oil: Mehudar with a reliable Hechsher. Ensure that it is not an imitation. 3. Wicks: (preferably) made from cotton. 4. Shamoshim: Made of beeswax. Ensure that there is a longer Shamosh for Friday.

  • Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut – Israel's
    YOM HAZIKARON AND YOM HA’ATZMAUT – ISRAEL’S MEMORIAL AND INDEPENDENCE DAYS ABOUT THE DAYS Yom HaZikaron , the day preceding Israel’s Independence Day, was declared by the Israeli Knesset to be Memorial Day for those who lost their lives in the struggles that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and for all military personnel who were killed as members of Israel’s armed forces. Joining these two days together conveys a simple message: Jews all around the world owe the independence and the very existence of the Jewish state to those who sacrificed their lives for it. Yom HaZikaron is different in character and mood from our American Memorial Day. In Israel, for 24 hours, all places of public entertainment are closed. The siren wails twice for two minutes throughout the country, first at 8:00 am to usher in the day, and again at 11:00 am before the public recitation of prayers in the military cemeteries. At the sound of the siren, all traffic and daily activities cease; the entire nation is still. Families are gathered in cemeteries and radio stations broadcast programs devoted to the lives of fallen soldiers. The list grows longer every year as Israel continues to labor for its very survival. Flags in Israel are flown at half mast, and the Yizkor (remembrance) prayer for Israel’s fallen soldiers is recited. May God remember His sons and daughters who exposed themselves to mortal danger in those days of struggle prior to the establishment of the State of Israel and (may He remember) the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces who fell in the wars of Israel.

    Yom Kippur at Home 5771 We will miss davening with you at The Jewish Center this year. We hope that this will help guide you through the Machzor on Rosh HaShanah from your home. When davening without a minyan, one omits Barchu, Kaddish, Kedushah, and Chazarat HaShatz, and ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the Thirteen Attributes of God during Selichot. There are many beautiful piyyutim throughout Yom ​ ​ ​ Kippur davening as well as the Avodah service in Mussaf that you may want to include after your silent Amidah. You omit the Torah service, but you can read through both the Torah and Haftarah readings. If you would like to borrow a Machzor from The Jewish Center prior to Rosh Hashanah, please use this form https://www.jewishcenter.org/form/Machzor%20Loan%20Program If you have any questions or concerns, or if we can be of assistance to you in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to us, Rabbi Yosie Levine at [email protected] or Rabbi Elie Buechler at ​ ​ [email protected]. ​ Wishing you a Shanah Tovah, Rabbi Yosie Levine Rabbi Elie Buechler Koren Artscroll Birnbaum Kol Nidre/Ma’ariv Kol Nidre 69-75 58-60 489-491 Shehehayanu 75 60 491 Ma’ariv 81-119 56-98 495-517 Selihot Ya’aleh, Shomei’a tefillah 125-131 102-108 521-427 Selah na Lach. 139-179 112-136 531-557 … Avinu Malkeinu 189-193 144-148 565-570 Aleinu 199-201 152-154 571 Le-David 205 156-158 573-575 Recite at Home Shir ha-Yihud 219-221 166 105-107 Shir ha-Kavod 253-255 188 127-129 Shir Shel Yom/Le-David 461/467 236/238 Adon Olam/Yigdal through Pesukei 471-553 246-320 53-167 de-Zimra

  • 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.
