With much greater enthusiasm is Chanukah observed on its na tive soil in the new State, Israel. There on Chanukah nights huge Menorahs are set up on the roofs of Synagogues, schoolhouses, City Halls, and government buildings, which illuminate the entire city or village, a practice which—in cidentally—is becoming quite the fashion with American Syna gogues and Jewish Centers. There is one spot which is sa cred to the hearts of the Jewish children in Israel, the village of Modin. For the duration of the Chanukah week outings are ar ranged by virtually all the Greetings and Best Wishes from JACKSONVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY THE SOUTHERN JEWISH WEEKLY schools of Israel. The school chil dren stream by the thousands into Modin, there to salute and chant in tribute to the Chanukah he roes. No wonder that Chanukah—so adequately celebrated as a Chil dren’s holiday—is the happiest and best beloved of holidays in the Jewish calendar, in America, in Israel, and everywhere else. In our American public schools there is a growing tendency to observe in some way Chanukah and Christmas simultaneously as the Christmas tree and the Cha nukah Menorah are displayed side by side and Chanukah and Christmas songs are chanted in termingly. However, it is still a moot question as to whether or not this “good-will” effort should be promoted or be discouraged. Yet this very attempt tends to bring out the universality of Cha nukah, a holiday which carries a message for all the world to heed, and is yet a distinctive and pecu liarly Jewish national-religious institution. Little Chanukah Candle BY I. ZAAC (Copyright, 1990, Jewish Telegraphic Agency. Inc.) What is there in you, little Chanukah candle? You haven’t so many watts That make you glow so warmly In a million human hearts. You do not dazzle, like electricity. You seem rather shy, As though you were moved by pity As though there were a tear in your eye. Is it that you are trying to say To cheer the weak in the fray That as the faint light is fanned into flame The spirit of man is the same? Is this what you are trying to say, Little Chanukah candle with only one watt, That in the end victory belongs to the spirit And not with what you’ve got?
