Our Annual AKSE Day of Service Will Take Place This Year on Wed., Dec. 25 at the Mary Campbell Center. Twenty-Two of Us Are Ne Vol. XLIII No. 4 THE NEWS OF DELAWARE’S DECEMBER 2013 FIRST CONGREGATION Shalom Chaverim, Chanukah thoughts from Rabbi Saks We tend to think of Chanukah as a victory over the Seleucid (Syrian Greek) Empire and it certainly was. In fact it set Judaea on a path that would ultimately lead to independence and the establishment of the second Jewish state. But the Hasmoneans and their supporters did not only have to defeat the Seleucids; they had to defeat Jews who were determined to Hellenize Judaea. In fact, to a large degree the Hasmonean uprising was a civil war, Jew against Jew. The first casualty recorded in the Book of Maccabees was a Jew killed by the Kohen priest Matityahu (father of Judah the Maccabee) for publicly worshiping the Greek gods. At times, particularly when faced with an existential threat, zealous action such as Matityahu’s is needed. However, optimally we should strive to respect each other and work in concert whenever possible. Hillel and Shammai, the two great leaders of the late second temple period, are good examples. Despite their differences in matters of law (including the famous machloket debate regarding lighting the Chanukah menorah), they and their students respected each other.

  • Vol. XLV No. 3 the NEWS of DELAWARE's NOVEMBER 2017
    Vol. XLV No. 3 THE NEWS OF DELAWARE’S NOVEMBER 2017 FIRST CONGREGATION Dear Congregants, My thanks to all those who participated in the recent meetings where we discussed and debated and got a little frustrated and sometimes unhappy and shared ideas and sometimes laughed and voted on a course for the future. I must say the effect of (unexpectedly) concluding the October 17 meeting with various songs (Hatikvah and Oseh Shalom) was really quite wonderful. The congregation voted overwhelmingly to pass the three motions as proposed, without amendments, and on Thursday, October 19, I formally signed an agreement at the office of Patterson Woods to place our building on sale. On a personal note, though I was professional in my meeting with Marvin Sachs and Chris Moore, I was pretty sad inside as I signed the contract. Though this path is not the one any of us want to be on, it is the best one for our congregation. The timing of the building sale, temporary and permanent moves are unknown, but there is undoubtedly much work to be done, and all us can and should play a role in helping us move forward. If this topic comes up in any interactions you have with non-AKSE folks, please be a good ambassador for AKSE—we are not going away, but rather facing our challenges in a systematic manner and determined to extend the 132-year tradition of AKSE. The current areas of focus are: ● forming a negotiating committee as per the motion. ● deciding on the best temporary home, which will likely be either JCC or Beth Shalom.
