  • A Secular, Cultural, Humanistic Celebration of Chanukah
    LET THERE BE LIGHTS! A Secular, Cultural, Humanistic Celebration of Chanukah by Rabbi Peter H. Schweitzer 45 East 33rd Street • New York, NY 10016 • 212-213-1002 • 212-213-3855 (fax) [email protected] • www.citycongregation.org Happy Chanukah! Or however you choose to spell it. Or celebrate it. By lighting candles. Reading about the history. Finding contemporary meaning. Singing familiar melodies. Exchanging gifts. Devouring latkes. Spinning dreidls. This booklet gives you the ingredients you need to create your own celebration. You can repeat old traditions. You can invent new ones. You can choose your own way. Best wishes for joyous holiday. And Happy Hanuka. Or however you spell it. THE PARADOX AND MODERN MIRACLE OF CHANUKAH It may be hard to believe, considering the fanfare it gets, but Chanukah is technically a minor festival. In fact, it is the only Jewish holiday without any historical basis in the Bible and is barely mentioned in the Talmud. Compared to Shabbat, Passover and the High Holidays, the Chanukah lights barely flicker. Historically, the story of the oil burning eight days had a quaint appeal, but in an age of science and skepticism, miracle tales have fallen into disrepute and lost their lustre. However, with the rise of political nationalism in the 19th century, the military message of the holiday gained popularity. This theme captivated the early Zionists as well. Pioneers reclaiming the land and soldiers of the early Haganah were naturally regarded as Maccabean descendants. Then, faced with the tempting tinsel and bright lights of Christmas, American Jews asserted themselves with Maccabean vigor and elevated Chanukah to a celebration of major import.

Gainesville, FL 32603 305-766-5734 941-227-5997 stevengrhodes @yahoo.com REM: Order of Day 8 Chanukah: Circa 1930’s Europe. (hidden until ACT III) REM: WATCH JUDITH MOVIES ON NETFLIX. REM: WATCH ADAM AT SOLSTICE MOVIES OJ NETFLIX REM: WATCH LEVIATHAN MOVIES ON NETFLIX 1 REM PROLOGUE: READ BY NARRATOR (RABBI DALLMAN) 1 Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days beginning on the 25th of Kislev (mid- to late-December). Since Hanukkah falls four days before the new moon (the darkest night of the month) and close to the winter solstice (the longest night of the year), it seems only natural that a key element of this holiday is light. In fact, one of its other names is the "Feast of Lights" (along with "Feast of Dedication" and "Feast of the Maccabees"). The only essential ritual of Hanukkah is the lighting of candles. The Hanukkah candles are held in a chanukkiah, a candelabra that holds nine candles. (The chanukkiah is different from a menorah, which is a candelabra that holds seven candles and is pictured on the official emblem of the State of Israel.) The candle (shammash) in the middle of the chanukkiah is used to light the others. The idea of a seder is of course best known from Passover, where a progression of 15 steps shapes a complicated process that allows us to re-live and re-experience the Exodus from Egypt. In the same way, we are used to daily and Shabbat services flowing through a fixed progression of prayers found in the siddur [prayerbook] (from the same root as seder).

They are available in wide varieties and their preferences may vary according to the regional demands. Easy access of global information and exposure of various bakery products has increased the demand for bakery ingredients. Baking ingredients offer several advantages such as reduced costs, volume enhancement, better texture, colour, and flavour enhancement. For example, ingredients such enzymes improve protein solubility and reduce bitterness in end products, making enzymes one of the most preferred ingredients in the baking industry. Every ingredient in a recipe has a specific purpose. It's also important to know how to mix or combine the ingredients properly, which is why baking is sometimes referred to as a science. There are reactions in baking that are critical to a recipe turning out correctly. Even some small amount of variation can dramatically change the result. Whether its breads or cake, each ingredient plays a part.

  • OILY GOODNESS Getting Ready for the Oily Fragrance and Tastes of Chanukah
    OILY GOODNESS Getting Ready for the Oily Fragrance and Tastes of Chanukah Sfenj (Moroccan Doughnuts) By Michael Solomonov Makes 8 to 10 Ingredients 1 tablespoon dry active yeast 3 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup warm water 1 2 /2 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour Zest from 1 orange 1 /2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups canola oil 1 cup honey 1 /2 cup ground pistachios Directions 1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in a medium-sized bowl with the 4 tablespoons of warm water. Let the yeast starter stand for approximately 15 minutes until it is frothy and blooming, so the yeast starter doubles in size. 2. Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the orange zest and salt. Make a small well in the middle of the flour and pour the yeast starter into the well. Incorporate the yeast mixture by making a swirling motion with your fingers in the middle of the well, while slowly streaming in the remaining ¾ cup of warm water. Knead the mixture inside of the bowl with palm of your hands for approximately 15 minutes until the dough is very smooth. Cover with a clean towel and set aside in a warm place to rise until it’s roughly double in size, approximately 1 hour. 3. When the dough has almost finished rising, fill a large pot with the canola oil and heat until it reaches 350ºF on a thermometer. With wet hands, lightly punch down the dough to deflate. Pull off a piece of donut batter that is approximately the size of a small egg.

  • Harry Truman Was the First President to Celebrate Hanukkah at the White House
    Harry Truman Was The First President To Celebrate Hanukkah At The White House Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the re- dedication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabees Revolt of the ,pronounced [χanuˈka] in Modern Hebrew חנוכה usually spelled , ֲחֻנָכּה :2nd century BCE. Hanukkah (Hebrew also romanized as Chanukah or Chanuka), is observed for eight nights and days. It starts on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar. Did you know these facts? Hanukkah is not considered a significant religious holiday when compared to other Jewish holidays. The menorah holds nine candles. In the center stands the shamus or servant. The shamus lights the 8 other Hanukkah candles. The Hanukkah candles are strictly for pleasure. They are not to be utilized for any useful or productive purpose. The shamus is available, so the Hanukkah candles aren’t accidentally used to light a fire in the fireplace or another useful purpose. Gift giving is not traditionally a part of the Hanukkah holiday. Playing dreidel is a gambling game popular during the Hanukkah holiday. The famous dreidel, or four-sided spinning top, was invented as a distraction. The game of dreidel was inspired by a German game played at Christmastime, which is itself an imitation of an English and Irish one. Hanukkah has its own set of customary foods. To celebrate the holiday, Jews fry foods in oil to acknowledge the miracle of the oil.
