Chanukah—A Timely Message For
Mr. and Mrs. World Today
BY RABBI LEON SPITZ
The message of Chanukah speaks with even more compelling
emphasis to Mr. and Mrs. World in our present war-crisis which has
as its announced objective the preservation of the sovereignty of j
small nations. However, its specific observance remains the direct :
concern of the Jew. as it has been for the past 2100 years and more. |
Chanukah—A Timely Message For
Mr. and Mrs. World Today
All the world over, we Jews
celebrate Chanukah both at home
and in the Synagogue on the 25th
day of Kislev, according to the
ancient Hebrew calendar. This
year it will fall on the week of
December 4to 12th. In America,
in the State of Israel, and every
where else where Jews are to be
found, eight little orange Chanu
kah candles will be lit on the
eight Chanukah nights. On the
first evening, one candle will be

evening, all of the eight candles'
will be lit. This candle lighting
ceremony will be carried out in 1
hundreds of thousands of Jewish
homes throughout the world. This
has been going on for two thou
sand, one hundred and fifteen
years.
At first the Rabbinical Acad
emy of Rabbi Shammai advocated
that the order of kindling the
lights should be reversed, that on
the first night all the eight can
dles should be lit in a sudden
blaze of glory to illuminate the
advent of the festival. However,
Rabbi Hillel’s Academy urged the
accepted practice. Let the illumi
nation grow stronger and strong
er from night to night, said they,
and finally on the last night we’ll

enjoy the spirit of the holiday
in its full glory.
It is believed that the Chris
tian lighting Christmas lights has
been borrowed from Chanukah.
Among Jews light has from the
earliest times been a religious
ritual associated with Temple
worship, with the ushering and
(escorting the Sabbath and Yom
jTov in the form of kiddush and
! Habdalah both in synagogue and
in the home, at weddings and
yahrezeits, and yizkar-memorials,
, and at all public services.
The Chanukah Menorah is usu
! ally made of brass or even tin, or
copper, or chromium, silver. One
may also see in the Jewish Mu
seum in New York City a tre
mendously huge Menorah of ced
arwood which takes up the entire
wallspace of an exhibit room.
There are of course menorahs
of various sizes and shapes and
materials, ranging in price from
25 cents to thousands of dollars.
In olden times—centuries ago—
people used earthen or clay men
orahs and instead of candles they
poured oil into the little cups
which they moulded into the
earthen holders. In the days of
the Maccabees, when Chanukah
was first celebrated, the priests
would pour consecrated oil to
feed the Menorah which was kept
in the Holy of Holies in the Tem
ple at Jerusalem. In our own
time menorahs usually have
beautiful symbolic decorations
engraved on them such as the six
pointed Star of David at the top
and crouching lions at each side.
What is the origin of this holi
day?
Chanukah was first instituted
in the City of Jerusalem on the
25th day of Kislev in the year
165 BCE by Judah, the Macabee,
the Jewish priest-patriot of those
far-away times.
We kindle the Chanukah lights
during the Chanukah week. In
the Synagogue the rabbi or can
tor lights them after he chants the
blessing, “Blessed art Thou O
Lord our God, King of the uni
verse, Who hast made us holy by
Thy commandments and com
