Antiochus the Ron Makar, Executive VP Fourth is considered the villain of the Chanukah story for Neil Rosen, VP Finance issuing decrees severely limiting the practice of Judaism. Harriet Ainbinder Yet, Antiochus had no record of suppressing the practice of VP Education religion among his other conquered nations nor did he Vivian Goldberg suppress the practice of Judaism outside the land of Judea. VP Religious Affairs So why did he issue decrees limiting the practice of Judaism in Judea? Many now believe that Antiochus issued Wendy Shlossman, VP Administration these orders at the behest of Jews who wished for Judea to Dan Berry, VP Facilities become fully Hellenized. Jewish practices such as Kashrut, Lena Elzufon Shabbat and circumcision (Greek sporting events were VP Membership played in the nude, therefore, the circumcised Jewish athlete Mark Wagman, VP Community Affairs would appear different from the Greeks) made it difficult for Joshua Schoenberg Jews to fully integrate into the Hellenic culture which VP Ways & Means dominated antiquity.

  • 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. (Continued on page 2) Dear AKSE Friends, Please save the date Our annual AKSE day of service will take place this year on Wed., Dec. 25 at the Mary Campbell Center.

Our Vision To ensure the future of a connected, committed, global Jewish People with a strong Israel at its center. Our Mission Inspire Jews throughout the world to connect with their people, heritage, and homeland, and empower them to build a thriving Jewish future and a strong Israel. The Jewish Agency's Partnership2gether Peoplehood Platform (previously known as Partnership 2000) has become the paradigm for successfully partnering global Jewish communities directly with Israeli communities. P2G connects 450 Jewish and Israeli communities in 47 city-to-city and region-to-region Partnerships, engaging more than 350,000 participants each year in meaningful ongoing connections between Israelis and Jews around the world, through unique programs and one-on-one encounters. The goal of the Service Year Program is to place high school graduates from Israel in Jewish communities abroad for a year to volunteer (Shnat- Sheirut) prior to enrolling for their military service in order to encourage interaction among young Jews through dialogue. While abroad, they live with host families from the community. Service Year Shlichim (at least two per community) volunteers in local Jewish day schools and supplementary schools, community centers, old age homes, nursery schools, and more.

Via Brignole De Ferrari, 9 - 16125 Genova ISBN 978-88-7544-203-3 MARCELLASIMONI- ARTUROMARZANO (ACURADI) “ROMA E GERUSALEMME” ISRAELENELLAVITAPOLITICAECULTURALEITALIANA (1949-2009) ECIG edizioni culturali internazionali genova Nella pagina a fianco: YAD Manina di argento che accompagna la lettura sinagogale del Rotolo della Bibbia Dalla Bibbia all’umorismo americano, dalla qabbalah all’illuminismo, dalla tradizione rabbinica ai miti della modernità, la cultura ebraica è da sempre un insieme complesso e sfaccettato, dalle inesauribili risorse. Al popolo ebraico si deve il libro che più ha se- gnato l’umanità: la Bibbia. Ed è intorno ad essa che si snoda il percorso millenario di una cultura che ha saputo trarre dalle Sacre Scritture continuo e nuovo alimento. Ma il mondo intellettuale ebraico non è soltanto un circuito intorno alla parola di Dio; viven- do infatti per duemila anni nella Diaspora, lontani dalla propria terra e fra le altre na- zioni, pur se emarginati quando non esclusi o perseguitati, gli ebrei hanno saputo assor- bire e rielaborare letterature, filosofie, sto- rie dei mondi che li circondavano. Per que- sto in un certo senso non esiste una cultura ebraica, ne esistono molte, legate da un uni- co filo rappresentato dalla tradizione e dalla lingua dei figli d’Israele. La collanaJ UDAICA si propone di esplorare la cultura ebraica di ieri e di oggi partendo dal presupposto che essa non costituisce un corpo monolitico, statico e u ni forme. Di fronte al crescente interesse e alla curiosi- tà che il pubblico italiano manifesta da qual- che tempo a questa parte verso il mondo ebraico (adeguandosi così a quanto succede da molti anni in altri paesi), il progetto della ECIG desidera offrire un panorama storico e intellettuale il più significativo possibile, presentando ogni anno alcuni titoli impe- gnativi e corposi e altri più agili e divulgativi.
