  • Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville
    The World of Lubavitch A publication of Chabad-Lubavitch, Toronto SEPTEMBER 2017 Vol. 43 No. 2 (148) TISHREI 5778 Words, Wickedness, and Charlottesville By Shlomo Yaffe In classic Judaic philosophy, worldly existence is divided into four strata: The inanimate, the growing (vegetative), the liv- ing (animal life) and the speaking (human). It seems curious that we do not describe the human as “thinker” or “engineer” or by any other quality that humans exclusively possess. The answer seems to be that the true potential of humanity, for good or evil, lies in the capacity for speech. The individual human can accomplish but little. All the accomplishments and disasters wrought by humanity are by virtue of communication. The accomplishment of the first farmer or shepherd lay in inspir- ing a group of people to work together to create nutrition and raiment in a new way that one person thought of. This was through words, through communication. All of hu- man power has always been an expression of a plurality united and directed by words. Abraham and Sarah taught monotheis- tic decency by words. Pharaoh enslaved the people of Israel by words of fear and prejudice directed at the Egyptians. Beliefs promulgated by words held peoples in the thrall of autocracy, and beliefs expressed in words convinced yet others to throw off those chains. The fate of the Armenians in 1915-17 was woven of words— in hate-filled sermons and telegraphed instructions. The power of Hitler was in his words that convinced German people to join together in utter evil. It was words over radio that set in mo- tion the Rwandan massacre.

  • Chanukah Activity Pack 2020
    TTHHEE GGRREEAATT SSYYNNAAGGOOGGUUEE CCHHAANNUUKKAAHH ActivityActivity PackPack 22002200 -- 55778811 T H E S T O R Y O F C H A N U K A H A long, long time ago in the land of Israel, the most special place for the Jewish people was the Temple in Jerusalem. The Temple contained many beautiful objects, including a tall, golden menorah. Unlike menorahs of today, this one had seven (rather than nine) branches. Instead of being lit by candles or light bulbs, this menorah burned oil. Every evening, oil would be poured into the cups that sat on top of the menorah. The Temple would be filled with shimmering light. At the time of the Hanukkah story, a mean king named Antiochus ruled over the land of Israel. “I don’t like these Jewish people,” declared Antiochus. “They are so different from me. I don’t celebrate Shabbat or read from the Torah, so why should they?” Antiochus made many new, cruel rules. “No more celebrating Shabbat! No more going to the Temple, and no more Torah!” shouted Antiochus. He told his guards to go into the Temple and make a mess. They brought mud, stones, and garbage into the Temple. They broke furniture and knocked things down; they smashed the jars of oil that were used to light the menorah. Antiochus and his soldiers made the Jews feel sad and angry. A Jewish man named Judah Maccabee said, “We must stop Antiochus! We must think of ways to make him leave the land of Israel.” At first, Judah’s followers, called the Maccabees, were afraid.

  • The Basic Story
    The Basic Story early 2,200 years ago, the Greek-Syrian ruler Antiochus IV tried to force Greek culture upon peoples in N his territory. Jews in Judea—now Israel—were forbidden their most important religious practices as well as study of the Torah. Although vastly outnumbered, religious Jews in the region took up arms to protect their community and their religion. Led by Mattathias the Hasmonean, and later his son Judah the Maccabee, the rebel armies became known as the Maccabees. After three years of fighting, in the year 3597, or about 165 BCE, the Maccabees victoriously reclaimed the temple on Jerusalem's Mount Moriah. Next they prepared the temple for rededication—in Hebrew, Hanukkah means “dedication.” In the temple they found only enough purified oil to kindle the temple light for a single day. But miraculously, the light continued to burn for eight days. The first sounds of the festival are the prayers (brachot) that accompany the lighting of the candles. The first two are recited each night, the third is recited only on the first night. We light the candles starting with Shamash (leader) then from left to right. (1st Night- 2 Candles, 2nd Night - 3, 3rd Night - 4, 4th - 5, 5th - 6, 6th - 7, 7th - 8, and 8th Night - 9) CHANUKAH BLESSINGS FIRST BLESSING: COMMANDMENT TO KINDLE THE LIGHTS OF CHANUKAH TRANSLITERATION: Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melekh ha-olam, asher kid-shanu b’mitzvo tav v’tizivanu l’hadlik ner shel Hanukkah.(amein) TRANSLATION: Blessed are you, L-rd our G-d, Sovereign of the Universe, whose mitzvot add holiness to our life and who gave us the mitzvah to kindle the lights of Chanukah.

  • The Festival of Lights
    twrnh gj The Festival of Lights A Home Hanukkah Celebration Created by Rabbi Adam Chalom Happy Hanukkah! Or Chanukkah, or Khanikeh, or however you’re used to spelling it. In fact, the only correct way to spell this holiday is hkwnj. And you’ll see that different writers in this booklet have different takes on how to do it. No matter how you spell it, Hanukkah is one of the most-observed holidays in the Jewish world today. This booklet is intended for a home celebration of Hanukkah. It includes a few different ways to celebrate Hanukkah in your home —some may work better for children (or adults) of younger ages. I encourage you to choose a candlelighting blessing from page 4-5, a thematic reading for each night from pages 6 to13, and a song from pages 14 to 15 for your Hanukkah observance. But don’t feel like you must stick to one pattern for the whole holiday, or that you’re limited to what’s printed here. The most meaningful Jewish experiences are those that families create for themselves—the Haggadah that’s re- written for every Passover, and the Hanukkah lights that are lit in each family’s own way. Just as every home and every Jewish family are different, so too will your Hanukkah celebration be unique. Once you feel comfortable, think about creating your own family Hanukkah traditions. This is one of the most exciting aspects of Humanistic Judaism—that we are free and even encouraged to create new traditions from our Jewish heritage.
