And it was

evening and it was

morning of the first

day and God said,

"Let there be light,"

and there was light.

And it was very good.

Light is part of us all and it

impacts the world in many positive

ways. Our role is to be a light unto the

world, reflecting God's light. Light is

the central metaphor for understanding

all of reality and it is infused in

everything: in the synagogue, in our

homes, in prayer, in our expressions,

in our interactions, in our deeds, and

in our celebrations.

Every year at Chanukah we do the

usual things – light candles, sing the

blessings and related songs, make

latkes, and get together with family

and friends. This is a festive and

wonderful celebration. How about

connecting the light of Chanukah to

the light inside one’s self? Whatever

occurs, focus on what makes you

better and brighter. This holiday, in its

seeming simplicity, complements our

spirituality and provides inspiration,

hope, and enlightenment.

Brightness abounds all around us

in large and small ways. Our Hebrew

School partners monthly, at alternate

Rabbi’s Reminders Shabbat Service, Friday, December 4, 6:15 PM Brookdale Montrose (formerly Chambrel at Montrose).

Lunch & Learn, December 8, 12:00 Noon-1:00 PM At the Law Offices of Goldman-Rosen. This year, we will be studying a curriculum from The Ziegler School of Rabbinic

Studies in Los Angele titled, “Walking With Life,” with texts from our tradition on the various stages of life from birth to

death. Texts will be provided. If you want to order lunch, the cost is eleven dollars. Please contact Karen James at ksj-

Young Family Shabbat Program and Dinner, December 18, 5:30 PM A Shabbat program for families with school age children up to fifth grade. Shabbat dinner sponsored by The Lippman

Kanfer Family Foundation. Please RSVP to Erin Katz Ford at [email protected]. Grandparents (and Great-

Grandparents) are always welcome.

locations, with Temple Israel and

Revere Road Synagogue to teach

Jewish values and link all of our

community youth in a variety of

programs. Students learn and share

ideas, socialize, expand relationships,

and create a solid vibrant core of

Jewish youth in our community. All of

those involved are shining stars for this

needed vision and interaction.

Governance with documentation

is a necessity for a successful

organization. Thanks to the stellar

efforts of Marty Belsky and many

others, the bylaws have been

completed, approved by the Board,

and complement the constitution

adopted two years ago. The bylaws are

on our website and available in the

office for your information. Of course,

your comments are most welcome and

we will update the bylaws as

appropriate.

High Holiday survey results will

provide the framework to make

adjustments and modifications to our

services. Since Cantor David

Wolinsky recently accepted a position

in Florida, a search for another

cantor/soloist for the High Holidays

will begin soon, paralleling last year's

process.

The brightness resulting from

congregational support of our annual

raffle on February 7, 2016 will be

enormous and far-reaching. Under the

leadership of Dr. Sid Steinberger, a

successful raffle is critical to our

synagogue activities and

programming. We need your support:

please purchase or share a ticket for

this bright, social, and warm winter

event. Our success depends on ticket

sales. Support from you, your friends,

and businesses you frequent is

welcomed and appreciated because it

sustains the efforts of our

congregation in the community.

Our congregational family is

illuminated in many thousands of

special and unique ways. We shine

and glow as we have grown and

adapted. Planning for the future of

Beth El is a high priority: a task group

has just been established to develop

the process and evaluate

recommendations. Just using the

theme approach for this year's

Synaplex programs – hunger, Jewish

Chicks Rock, humor and l'dor va'dor

expands and refreshes our impact

based on your comments. Future

planning and our flexibility provide us

the continuing illumination of our

capabilities and vibrancy.

May the brilliant flames of

Chanukah warm your heart and

brighten your world so that you help

reflect God's light.

Shalom,

Marty

Hanukkah 2015 – The Festival of Lights Rabbi Stephen Grundfast

The first day of Hanukkah this year is SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2015. Our holiday of rededication will conclude on MONDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2014. On the first night of the holiday, one candle is lit and one additional candle is added for each of the eight nights. In addition to the candles that represent each day of the holiday, there is an extra candle called the Shammash, which is used to light the other candles. After the lighting of the Hanukkah Menorah, it is customary to play games, sing songs and enjoy the company of family friends with food

and drink.

Ceremony for lighting the Hanukkah lights

The procedure for lighting the Hanukiah (Hanukkah Menorah) is quite simple. Starting from the right, the individual candles are put in place. The Shammash is lit first and the proper blessings are recited. (See below). After the conclusion of the blessings, the candles are lit from left to right, i.e., the last candle placed into the Hanukiah is the first to be kindled. One candle is lit on the first night, two on the second night and so on until there are

eight candles on the final night.

The candles should be lit after sundown, and must burn for at least a half an hour. (Freezing candles will make them burn longer!) In order to proclaim the miracle of Hanukkah (Pirsumay Nisah), the Hanukiah is placed in the window for all to see. On Friday night, the Hanukkah candles are lit before the Shabbat candles.

Some families have the tradition of lighting just one Hanukiah for the entire household. The Talmud, in Massechet Shabbat, clearly states this on page 21b, “Our Rabbis taught: The precept of Hanukkah [demands] one light for a man and his household.” But the text continues with the following, “The zealous (kindle) a light for each member (of the household); and the extremely zealous.”

So you have two traditions to follow. Growing up in New Jersey in the 1950’s my family always had one hanukiah but after Judy and I married we each lit our own, becoming a bit more zealous. Maybe that was because we received several hanukiot for wedding presents. When our children were old enough, they each lit their own, for a total of four hanukiot. For me it’s always

better to have more light and be a bit more zealous.

The Hanukkah Prayers

1. Baruch ata Adonai, Elohenu melech ha-olam, asher kidshanu b’mitzvotav v'tzivanu lehadlik ner shel Hanukkah. Praised are You, Adonai our God, who rules the universe, whose mitzvot add holiness to our lives and who gave us the mitzvah to light the lights of Hanukkah.

2. Baruch ata Adonai, Elohenu melech ha-olam, she-asah nissim la’avotenu, ba-ya-mim ha-hem, uvazman hazeh. Praised are You, Adonai our God, who rules the universe, and who accomplished miracles for our ancestors in ancient days and in our own time.

(These two blessings are recited every night. The third blessing is only recited on the first night)

3. Baruch ata Adonai, Elohenu melech ha-olam she-he-che-yanu, v’kiy-manu v’higianu lazman hazeh. Praised are You, Adonai our God, who rules the universe, who has kept us in life,

sustained us and allowed us to reach this season.

Interesting Hanukkah Minhag: Giving Clothing on Hanukkah

We all know about the tradition of Hanukkah gelt but did you

know that there was a tradition of giving clothing on the holiday.

The following is taken from an essay produced by the Schechter

Institute, our Conservative Rabbinical School in Israel. Rabbi

Prof. David Golinkin wrote it. Go to the Institute’s website for

additional essays and articles on a variety of Jewish subjects,

http://www.schechter.edu.

The Italian and Sefardic custom of providing for pupils and buying clothes for pupils and teachers on Hanukkah

1. As far as I know, the first mention of this custom is in the

responsa of Rabbi Shmuel De Medina (Maharashdam, Salonica,

1506-1589, No. 372, quoted by Assaf, p. 539). The questioner

says that the clothing made from the wool collected by Rabbi

Moshe Alish “did not suffice for Hanukkah clothing.” In the

Sefardic Talmud Torahs, they would collect money and use it to

buy or make new clothing for the pupils. Indeed, in books of

sermons by Sefardic rabbis, there are many sermons about

“halbashah” [clothing], which were given in order to encourage

the congregation to donate generously. For example, Rabbi

Hayyim Palache (Izmir, Turkey, 1788-1869), mentions a

sermon he gave on Shabbat Halbashah, i.e. Shabbat Hanukkah

in 1865.

2. We read in the Takkanot [Regulations] of the Talmud Torah

Association in Ancona Italy in 1644: "On every Hanukkah they

must sew clothing for the poor pupils who studied for a full year

in the Talmud Torah, i.e. an outer garment (“bolandranetto”), a

pair of shoes and a pair of socks".

3. Samuel ibn Nahmias, who converted to Christianity, was born

and raised in Venice. He reported in his Italian work Via della

Fede that every year on Hanukkah the Jews hang clothing

around the synagogue as a reminder of the tzedakah which is

going to be collected in order to buy clothing for the teachers

and the poor pupils. On Shabbat Hanukkah, the Hazzan and the

Parnass go from one worshipper to another in the synagogue,

bless each one, and each one pledges money for this tzedakah.

This is also the custom in Venice in all the synagogues, in the

entire east and in Turkey.

4. The anonymous work Hemdat Yamim was apparently written in

the 17th

century by a disciple of Shabbetai Zevi. The author

reports that it is the custom of the early pious ones to suspend

the study of Torah during the eight days of Hanukkah in order

to devote themselves to the needs of the poor pupils to support

them. "And for this reason the custom spread in some places

that the children take money to their teachers on Hanukkah with

other foods (manot), and poor people also go from door to door

on Hanukkah, but the main mitzvot is for poor pupils" This

passage seems to report on two contradictory Hanukkah

customs, that the rabbis or teachers raise money for the poor

pupils –or- that the pupils bring money and food to their

teachers.

We had a wonderful Cheryl

Carter Beth El University and

Jewish Family Service event

on November 8. Attending

our program were our

Veterans from WWII who

still walk tall and proud, as

well as Vietnam Veterans

along with Veterans who

served Stateside.

Thank you to Marty Oppenheimer our moderator, who

kept the program moving. Thank you, Myron

Rabinovitz, for contacting our speaker and making

sure he felt comfortable at our synagogue. Thank you

to Gizelle Jones and her staff at Jewish Family Service

for once again working so beautifully with us to make

this project a success. Our Shilichim came and spoke

about their upcoming programs. Efrat catered our

event and the food was delicious.

Our speaker, Colonel William Miller, retired army,

was inspiring. At 93 he was able to recall the events

clearly and in detail. The battles he took part in and

the liberation of the concentration camp sent chills

through my body. We wish him good health as he

continues working with young people. He now takes

Eagle Scouts to WWII sites. His next trip will be to

Nomandy, France, other WWII battle areas,

cemeteries and to Dachau concentration camp.

Thank you to all who attended.

Ellen Moss, Education Chair.

Hebrew School Happenings

Many of our families attended the Havdalah at Camp

on November 7. We dipped our own candles and

enjoyed Havdalah with Mayana and Shay, our Israeli

Shlichim. Families had the opportunity to make

b'samim (spices). Our next family program is

Hanukkah at Home Depot.

Our Middle School students spent the morning of

November 8 learning about Justice and Judaism along

with students from Temple Israel and Anshe Sfard.

For the service project part, students made pretzels to

take to the Bath Police station; the officers gave a tour

and then spoke about decision making and how hard it

is to sometimes make the right choice under pressure

from friends and law enforcement.
