Could you find 100 things in a day for which to say a blessing. Do you This November brings a very rare set of events on the calendar - lament the December dilemma forgetting that if it weren’t for the Hanukah and Thanksgiving coincide. Being the food-centric culture Macabees there might not be a dilemma because we wouldn’t be that we are, this presents some immediate culinary challenges – practicing Judaism? This month’s Kehilat haKodesh focuses on should we serve latkes instead of mashed potatoes? What about opening our eyes to all that we have for which to be thankful. dessert? Do we need to swap out the pumpkin pie for jelly donuts? Brad Kolar, Editor And how is anyone going to be up for a rousing game of dreidel once the tryptophan takes effect? Oy! The December dilemma is bad enough, but now we have to face another one in November? Luckily, we’ll probably get through these issues relatively unscathed. On the positive side, the convergence of Thanksgiving and Hanukah provides some great opportunities for us to reflect. Thanksgiving feels inherently Jewish – it’s a time to give thanks. Jews are all about giving thanks. We’re supposed to say 100 blessings every day. And for Jews, blessings don’t happen only during worship, they are supposed to be an integral part of life. We say blessings upon waking up, eating (and after eating), upon meeting a scholar, when we see a rainbow, and for just about anything else that occurs within our lives. For a Jew, every day is supposed to be Thanksgiving. Having Hanukah fall right on Thanksgiving provides the perfect opportunity to highlight one of the foundational things for which we should give thanks – the opportunity to be Jewish. I’ve often heard people refer to Hanukah as a minor holiday. Some go as far as to argue that it has been given artificial significance in order to make little Jewish kids feel less bad during Christmas time. Certainly Hanukah doesn’t pack the kind of punch that we experienced during the Days of Awe. And, it doesn’t have special significance associated with the pilgrimage festivals. Heck, the story of Hanukah doesn’t even appear in the Hebrew bible! But Hanukah has major religious significance. Without it, we might not be observing all of those other holidays. The miracle of Hanukah isn’t just the story of the oil. It’s the story of coming back from the brink of extinction and fighting for our right to be Jews. That’s not minor at all. Kehilat haKadosh, November, 2013 4 From The Desk Of The Recommendation Rabbi Book I recently read: Inheriting Abraham by Jon D. Levenson (2012) Princeton University Press This month’s newsletter focuses on opening our eyes to all that we have for This book looks at the idea that Judaism, Christianity and Islam are which to be thankful. The word for "Abrahamic Faiths". This claim has become part of our popular “Jewish” in Hebrew – Yehudim – is in fact culture, and has even been the subject of a best seller, Bruce Feiler's derived from the word “Hodah” – Abraham: A Journey to the Heart of Three Faiths. If this simply means thankfulness. Rabbi Yitzchak Meir of Gur that the three traditions revere Abraham, then the claim that (1799-1866), the founder of the Ger Chassidim, notes that it is Judaism, Christianity and Islam can be called "Abrahamic Faiths" is characteristic of Jews to be always thankful to G-d, for G-d has given true. But the author shows that the three religious traditions us more than we deserve. understand Abraham very differently, and the notion that there are three equally Abrahamic religions often is biased against Judaism in As individuals, however, we sometimes feel that we have not been subtle ways. given our rightful share. We do not get what we had hoped for out of life. We may be disappointed in our marriage, in our children; we may The book is in our CBS library. For a review see feel that our parents did not provide us with the guidance that we http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2013/may/23/one- needed; we may feel that we have been stymied in our work lives, or abraham-or-three/?pagination=false have had to deal with serious health problems that were not of our making. We look at others and think that the blessings that have been bestowed upon them have eluded us. This anonymous author suggests that if we do not get what we desire in life, perhaps we can learn to find value in what we do get. “I asked G-d for strength that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked G-d for health, that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity, that I might do better things; I asked for riches, that I might be happy; I was given poverty, that I might be wise; I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men; I was given weakness, that I might feel the need for G-d; I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life; I was given life, that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for – but everything that I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men, most richly blessed.” Chag Urim Sameach/Happy Festival of Lights Kehilat haKadosh, November, 2013 5 Mazel Tov!

  • December Delights: Creating and Crushing Chrismakkuh Rabbi Denise Handlarski, Secularsynagogue.Com
    December Delights: Creating and Crushing Chrismakkuh Rabbi Denise Handlarski, SecularSynagogue.com A Guide for Intermarried/Intercultural Couples and Families The problem: this is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but it can also be a stressful time. Not only are calendars overbooked and cheese-wheels overconsumed, but for people who come from different backgrounds there can be conflict around the holidays. The solution: well, there isn’t only one solution but there are many creative and wonderful ways that people are approaching the “December Dilemma”. Here’s what this guide is: This guide is for people looking for strategies and ideas. It is meant to guide you in having conversations with your partner/family and figuring out what will work for you this December. We’ll cover ways you can do the holidays, from mixing traditions (think Star of David tree topper), to ways you can do both (think each set of in-laws gets you on their special day), to ways you can articulate why you’re doing it (think, well, thinking about traditions and what they mean). We’ll cover the important stuff - I call them the 4 Ls: Light (decorating), Latkes and Lasagne (food), Laughter (joy), Learning (meaning). What if the decisions in December lead to a more fulfilling, more beautiful, more meaningful holiday for everyone? Sounds good, right? If so, this guide is for you. Here’s what this guide is not: The typical anti-intermarriage diatribe that you’ll hear from most rabbis. I know you’ve heard that a Jew with a Christmas tree/Chanukah bush has sinned on the level of, say, a mass-murderer.

Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus. Chanukah marks the successful conclusion of a war for religious freedom when the Jews over 2000 years ago achieved a victory to worship their own way in a Hellenistic world.

Social Mobility and the Class Chameleon in Th... http://www.lib.latrobe.edu.au/ojs/index.php/tlg/article/view/45/22 The Looking Glass : New Perspectives on Children's Literature, Vol 11, No 1 (2007) HOME ABOUT LOG IN REGISTER SEARCH CURRENT ARCHIVES ANNOUNCEMENTS Home > Vol 11, No 1 (2007) > Bullen Font Size: Alice's Academy Who is Ryan Atwood? Social Mobility and the Class Chameleon in The OC Elizabeth Bullen Elizabeth Bullen lectures in Literary Studies at Deakin University's Warrnambool campus. She is currently a co-researcher on a research project on representations of social class in recent children's literature and the implications for citizenship. In the first season of the Fox television series, The OC (2003–2004), a teenager from the wrong side of the tracks finds himself in wealthy Newport Beach, Orange County — the OC of the title. Rescued from an implied future of juvenile delinquency, 16-year-old Ryan Atwood is at first perceived to be a threat to this world of luxury, ostentation and conspicuous consumption. Over the course of the season, Ryan is able to win the heart of rich girl-next-door, the troubled Marissa Cooper, and, it seems, transcend his class origins. According to Tim Goodman, the plotline of creator Josh Schwartz's series distinguishes it from earlier teen dramas like Beverley Hills 90210 and Dawson's Creek and avoids the clichés of the genre. In many respects, however, Ryan is living another cliché, the American Dream, his social ascendency suggesting that success is possible regardless of one's start in life.

    Parenting ‘mixed’ children: negotiating difference and belonging in mixed race, ethnicity and faith families Chamion Caballero, Rosalind Edwards and Shuby Puthussery Insights into parenting ‘mixed’ children More and more is known about the ‘mixed’ population of Britain – those brought up in families with different racial, ethnic and faith backgrounds. But less is known about their parents. Who are they and what are their experiences of bringing up their children? This report aims to provide insights about parenting mixed children to inform debates about family life and professional strategies for support. Focusing on mothers and fathers living together, it: • Investigates how parents from different racial, ethnic and/or faith backgrounds give their children a sense of belonging and identity. • Examines parents’ approaches to cultural difference and how they pass on aspects of belonging and heritage across generations. • Explores the opportunities, constraints, challenges and tensions in negotiating a sense of identity and heritage between parents. This publication can be provided in other formats, such as large print, Braille and audio. Please contact: Communications, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, The Homestead, 40 Water End, York YO30 6WP.
