H anukkah, the "Festival
of Lights," starts on the 12th day of the Jewish calendar month of Kislev and lasts for eight days and nights. In 2017, Hanukkah begins at sundown on December 12th with blessings, games, and festive foods, Hanukkah celebrates the triumphs--both religious and military--of ancient Jewish heroes. Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday in the Jewish year. In Canada and the United States, however, its closeness to Christmas has brought greater attention to Hanukkah and its gift-giving tradition. Amid the ever-growing flood of Christmas advertising, it may seem especially fitting that the Hanukkah story tells of Jewish culture surviving in a non-Jewish world.
The Hanukkah Story ... Nearly 2,200 years ago, the Greek-Syrian ruler Antiochus IV tried to force Greek culture upon peoples in 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 B.C.E., 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 Menorah ... The lighting of the menorah, known in Hebrew as the hanukiya, is the most important Hanukkah tradition. A menorah is a candlestand with nine branches.
Usually eight candles - one for each day of Hanukka - are of the same height, with a taller one in the middle, the shamash ("servant"), which is used to light the others. Each evening of Hanukkah, one more candle is lit, with a special blessing. The menorah symbolizes the burning light in the temple, as well as marking the eight days of the Hanukkah festival. Some say it also celebrates the light of freedom won by the Maccabees for the Jewish people.
Jews observe a holiday for
eight days in honour of the
historic victory of the
Maccabees and the miracle
of the oil.
Hanukkah -The Festival of Lights ...
Before lighting the Chanukah candles, we thank
G_d for giving us this special mitzvah, and for the
incredible Chanukah miracles:
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech ha-olam a-sher ki-de-sha-nu be-mitz-vo-tav ve-tzi-va-nu le-had-
lik ner Chanukah.
[Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the
universe, who has sanctified us with His
commandments, and commanded us to kindle
the Chanukah light.
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-hei-nu Me-lech ha-olam she-a-sa ni-sim la-avo-te-nu ba-ya-mim ha-hem bi-
z'man ha-zeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of
the universe, who performed miracles
for our forefathers in those days, at this
season.]
On the first night of Chanukah, (or
the first time on Chanukah you perform this mitzvah), add the following blessing:
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech ha-olam she-heche-ya-nu ve-ki-yi-ma-nu ve-higi-a-nu liz-man ha
-zeh.
[Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled
us to reach this occasion.]
On the second night, put two candles in, and light starting from the "new" candle on the left, reciting only the first two blessings. Keep on increasing each night, until you've got all
eight candles lit.
The lighting of the Chanukiah is done at home, at dusk or when
the family has gathered. Some people put the Chanukiah in the
window for the purpose of "publicizing the miracle." In many
synagogues, special prayers of thanksgiving are added to the
services, and a special Chanukah paragraph is added to the
Birkat HaMazon - the blessing after the meal.

Nick Carraway, a young newcomer to Long Island, is drawn into their world of obsession, greed and danger.

Featuring lively music and a dance ensemble. Come be a part of this moving tale of self discovery. Through an ever changing friendship, pursuit of materialism, the decline of social values and the fluidity of love, this play peels back all of the layers until you’re left with nothing but you and your secrets.
The Great Gatsby takes the audience on a trip through how to decide what parts of yourself you are going to share with the world and what parts stay buried deep. As an audience member, you are a part of the party! Disclaimer: The Great Gatsby is a piece of literary fiction that deals with mature themes including but not limited to racism, sexual promiscuity, violence, abuse (mental, emotional and physical), drugs use, alcohol abuse, and gambling.

Hanukkah Fun & Food ...
The Dreidel ... Long a favorite Hanukkah toy, the dreidel once had a serious purpose. When the Syrians forbid study of the Torah, Jews who studied in secret kept spinning tops "sivivons, or dreidels"on hand. This way, if they
were found studying, they could quickly pretend that they had only been playing. Outside of Israel, a dreidel has the Hebrew letters "nun," "gimel," "hay," and "shin" on its four
sides. These letters stand for "Nes gadol haya sham," which means, "A great miracle happened there," referring to Israel. An Israeli dreidel has the letter "pay" rather than "shin." This stands for "poh," meaning "here"a great miracle happened here." The Hebrew letters also represent Yiddish words that tell how to play the dreidel game. Each player starts with the same amount of candies, chocolate coins (gelt), or other tokens, and puts one in a pot. Players take turns spinning the dreidel, waiting to see which letter lands face up. Nun is for "nisht," do nothing. Gimel is for "gants," take the whole pot. Hay is for "halb," take half. Shin is for "shtel," add to the pot. The game ends when a single player wins all the tokens.
Hanukkah Foods Many traditional Hanukkah foods are cooked in oil, in remembrance of the oil that burned in the temple. In the United States, the most widespread Hanukkah food is latkes, or potato pancakes, a custom that may have developed in Eastern Europe. In Israel, the favorite
Hanukkah food is sufganiyot, a kind of jelly donut cooked in oil. Israelis eat sufganiyot for more than a
month before the start of Hanukkah. Eating dairy products, especially cheese, is another Hanukkah tradition. This is done in memory of the Jewish heroine Judith, who according to legend saved her village from Syrian attackers. Judith fed wine and cheese to the Syrian general Holofernes until he became so drunk that he fell to the ground. She then seized his sword and cut off his head, which she brought back to her village in a basket. The next morning, Syrian troops found the headless body of their leader and fled in terror.

1 Arrange the lights on the menorah. Ensure that there is enough oil, or that
the candles are big enough, for the lights to burn until half an hour after nightfall (or, if lighting after nightfall, for one half hour). On the first night, set one candle to the far right of the menorah. On the following night, add a second light to the left of the first one, and then add one light each night of Chanukah - moving from right to left.
2 Gather everyone in the house around the menorah.
3 Light the shamash candle. Then hold it in your right hand (unless you are left-
handed).
4 While standing, recite the appropriate blessings. (on next page)
5 Light the candles. Each night, light the newest (left-most) candle first and
continue lighting from left to right. (We add lights to the menorah from right to left, while we light from left to right.)

CHANUKAH STORIES …
https://www.npr.org/series/hanukkah-
TORAH GEMS
The Miracle of the First Night By Naftali Silberberg Certain facts are taken for granted. At times, however, a little thought raises real questions regarding the logic behind these concepts which are simply accepted at face value. For example: Chanukah is eight days long because the oil which would naturally have fueled the menorah for only one day miraculously lasted for eight. Everyone knows this since their days in Hebrew school. But does this make sense? If there was sufficient oil to burn for one day, then the miracle lasted only seven days. Why celebrate the first day, if nothing miraculous occurred then? This question has long bothered Jewish scholars, and many, many answers have been suggested (click here for a short article on the topic). Most of these answers demonstrate how there was indeed some sort of miracle on the first day of Chanukah too. Perhaps, however, it is unnecessary to establish the occurrence of any miracle on the first day of Chanukah in order to justify its inclusion in the holiday. Perhaps we are celebrating the oil itself, which very naturally fueled the menorah on that day. An interesting episode recounted in the Talmud1 will “illuminate” the matter:
The Mishnaic sage Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa was a renowned miracle-worker. Shortly after sunset one Friday evening, he noticed his daughter sobbing. Upon asking her the reason for her distress, she explained that she had mistakenly lit the Shabbat candles with vinegar instead of oil. Rabbi Chanina comforted his daughter:
“Do not be troubled, my dear. The One who commanded oil to burn will command vinegar to burn . . .” Needless to say, the candles did not go out. In fact, they burned until the following night, when the havdalah candle (which accompanies the Saturday night ceremony signaling the end of the Shabbat) was kindled from their flames! In the eyes of this holy sage, vinegar burning was no more spectacular than oil burning This story is so striking and unique because Rabbi Chanina didn’t respond by saying, “Wanna see something amazing? Watch this miracle!” Rather, in the eyes of this holy sage, vinegar burning was no more spectacular than oil burning. The only difference between the two was how frequently they occur. If the definition of “miracle” is G_dly intervention in personal or national affairs, then every phenomenon is miraculous—for everything that occurs is a direct result of G_d’s command. “The Guardian of Israel never slumbers nor sleeps,” but His watchful eye can and usually does express itself in natural means. Nature is merely the curtain which conceals the grand Puppeteer from our sight.

CHANUKAH IN A NUTSHELL …
Miracle in the Wilderness
Miracles are only convincing to those who witnessed them; whilst coming generations, who know them only from the account given by others, may consider them as untrue. But miracles cannot continue and last for all generations; it is even inconceivable that they should be permanent. Now the greatest of the miracles described in the Law is the stay of the Israelites in the wilderness for forty years, with a daily supply of manna. This wilderness, as described in Scripture, consisted of places "wherein were fiery serpants and scorpians, and drought, where there was no water." (Deut. viii. 15); places very remote from cultivated land, and naturally not adapted for the habitation of man, "It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink" (Num. xx. 5). "A land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt" (Jer. ii. 6). In reference to the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, Scripture relates, "Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drank wine or strong drink" (Deut. xix. 5). All these miracles were wonderful, public, and witnessed by the people. But God knew that in future people might doubt the correctness of the account of those miracles, in the same manner as they doubt the accuracy of other narratives; they might think that the Israelites stayed in the wilderness in a place not far from inhabited land, where it was possible for man to live in the ordinary way; that it was like those deserts in which Arabs live at present; or that they dwelt in such places in which they could plow, sow, and reap, or live on some vegetable that was growing there; or that manna came always down in those places as an ordinary natural product; or that there were wells of water in those places. In order to remove all those doubts and to firmly establish the accuracy of the account of these miracles, Scripture enumerates all the stations, so that coming generations may see them, and learn the greatness of the miracle which enabled human beings to live in those places forty years.
