  • Chanukah Booklet
    HAPPY CHANUKAH!! CHANUKAH BLESSINGS, SONGS, RECIPES, AND MORE 1 BLESSINGS The Chanukah Menorah (or Chanukiah in Hebrew) is a candlestick that holds nine candles, specifically for Hanukkah. Eight of the candles each represent one of the eight days of Hanukkah. The ninth candle is raised above the others and is called the Shamash, meaning helper-candle. It is used to light all the other candles. If possible, candles should be lit immediately after sunset and should be allowed to burn completely. One family member may light the candles on behalf of the whole family, but it is fun to have each family member light his/her own Chanukiah. The first candle is lit (using the shamash) on the first night. On the next night, two candles are lit, and one more added each night up through the eighth night. The candles are placed in the Chanukiah from right to left (facing you); but, when lighting them, first kindle the “new” candle added that evening (using the shamash) and then proceed from left to right. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ba-rooch a-ta A-do-nai, E-lo-hay-noo me-lech ha-o-lam, a-sher keed-sha-noo b’meetz-vo-tav v’tzee-va-noo l’had-leek nayr shel cha-noo-kah.

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.

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.
