Jewish celebration begins at sunset
By KATHY BRUSSELL Staff Reporter
When the sun goes down tonight, the sun will burn in the annual Jewish Egist of God.
The celebration of Hanukkah, which means "dedication" in Hebrew, begins on the eve of the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev and lasts eight days.
A traditionally festive holiday,
Hanukkah is a family-centered
celebration that has grown in
popularity in the United States because
it usually fills near Christmas, Ellen
KU, KU fillet director, said yesterday.
HILEL IS A religious, social and cultural institution for Jewish students at the University in Tel Aviv.
"Hannakuk is not as important a holiday in Jewish liturgy as Christmas is to Christians," Kort said. "In America, there are certain things we do that are special and important holidays so close together. Hannakuk is a very festive, very positive holiday."
The holiday is observed with eight days of gift giving, candle lighting and baking of special foods. It is especially suitable for children according to Gull Threatz. Hillel treasurer.
"Celebrating Hanukkah makes the kids feel better about being non-Christian in a Christian society," she said. "I can feel more at ease with their Judaism."
THE STORY behind Hanukkah goes back more than 2,100 years.
In 186 B.C., Judah the Maccabee led a revolt against the Syrian tyrant Antichus Epiphanes and his men, who occupied the land of Israel.
Antiochus had tried to unite his kingdom under pagan laws. He banned the study of the Torah, the Jewish religion, and religious practices on penalty of death.
The Jews were victorious, and they celebrated by holding festivities in the
temple Jerusalem and rededicating the temple to God.
THE MACCABEAN Revolt is the first recorded war ever waged in behalf of religious freedom. Therefore, in addition to being a festive occasion, Hanukkah is a time for rededication to the ideal of freedom for all.
According to one legend, the Jews, after cleansing the temple, found only one small container of oil with which to light their holy lamps. However, the one day's supply of oil miraculously filled up during the rededication ceremonies.
From this legend comes the tradition of lighting one candle on the menorah, a sacred candela, for each of the eight days of Hanukkah.
In medieval times, Hanukkah became such a popular festival that it was said, "Even he who draws his sustenance from charity should borrow
or sell his cloak to purchase oil and lamps, and kindle."
HOLIDAY FEASTING became a part of Hanukkah, and traditional foods still eaten today include potato pancakes, fried eggs, applesauce, cheese blintzes and sweets.
In countries where Christmas is a popular festival, festival, Hanukkah has
Children play games of chance with a dreidel, or a four-sided "spinning top." They often receive gifts on each of the sides. The game of money, known as "Hannukkah gelt."
In modern Israel, Hanukkah symbolizes mainly "the victory of the few over the many," and the courage of the Jews to assert themselves as a people.
Giant menorahs, visible for great distances, are kindled atop public buildings, such as the governmental Knesset building in Jerusalem.
