Hannukah By Arthur Waskow The likelihood is growing that US oil and gasoline prices are going to be very painful this winter. (For the most recent information, see p. 1, NYTimes, 9/11/00.) (a) those who heat their homes with oil (but natural-gas prices are also climbing in synch); (b) those who depend on autos for transportation and business; and (c) those who will be affected as businesses have to pay higher fuel costs and either raise prices or clamp down on workers, to protect their profits. They will also raise serious environmental-policy questions, in more subtle ways. So Hanukkah time (first candle: evening of Thursday, Dec 21; Sunday, the third day of Hanukkah, is Dec 24) may be a perfect time for Jewish environmental and social-justice activists to raise major questions about the Global Gobble of Big Oil and other global corporations. (a) the rhythms of the sun/moon/earth as they dance with each other (while addiction to gasoline over-use damages the rhythms of the earth);

Extractions: Leading the way for this year's holiday season is Hanukkah, celebrating a miracle that occurred over 2000 years ago when a tiny bit of oil burned for eight days. Honoring this holiday means lighting a menorah (a nine-branched candelabra), and eating special foods that have been cooked in oil. For the best in seasonal preparations for Hanukkah, visit Celebrate with JOI: Hanukkah Food. The traditions of Hanukkah have survived for centuries, and are still celebrated around the world by young and old alike. A must for any Hanukkah meal is the traditional latke, a delicious pancake of grated potatoes and onions fried crisp in oil. The secret to great latkes is to remove as much liquid from the potatoes and onions as possible. Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel, and squeeze the liquid out of the mixture. Do the same for the grated onions. Sample the site's

Extractions: Sabbath Day Sermon: Saturday 7 December 2002 Brethren and sisters, I welcome you to this our last Sabbath in the current Hanukkah season. Each day for the last eight days we have been kindling lights to commemorate the saving acts, miracles, and wonders which Yahweh performed not only in the Temple at Jerusalem when He caused a single day's supply of oil to burn for eight days, but all His saving acts throughout history. And though we specifically remember the Exodus from Egypt during Passover, we remember it here today as one of those extraordinary events full of high drama which has characterised many rescues of Israel throughout history. The delivery from Egypt was extraordinary - the miracles spectacular: the ten plagues, the dividing of the Red Sea, manna in the wilderness, water from rocks, the dividing of the Jordan River, the casualty-free conquest of Jericho, and many others besides. And one of the extraordinary phenomena of the Exodus was the way Yahweh guided His people through the wilderness and away from captivity by means of a cloud of smoke by day and a flaming fire by night. Such guidance has not taken place since, but it is about to take place again in our day. How do I know, because the Bible tells me so, and specifically in Isaiah: "Then Yahweh will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy"
Extractions: Sabbath Day Sermon, Saturday 15 December 2001 If there is one thing that impresses me about the Maccabees it is the fact that they overcame against all the odds.The chances that the little southern Kingdom of Judah should once more become an independent nation after centuries of oppression seemed hardly likely in the then political climate. Each year at Hanukkah we recall the miracle of the menorah which burned for eight days instead of one and celebrate it with joy. But in many ways the greater miracle was the fact that a whole people, led by some determined leaders, resisted the overwhelmingly superior forces not only of a pagan army but of a whole culture. And the lesson I hope which we can learn is that Yahweh's people can become victorious even when the odds are heaveily stacked against them. For us, then, the story of the Macabbees is a symbol of what we, as a tiny minority of believers, can achieve in an overwhelmingly pagan culture. Hanukkah is proof that Yahweh blesses those who do not compromise with the world and who obey the commandments solely to honour and please the Most High God. It is proof that loyalty to the truth brings the highest rewards. It would be wrong, therefore, to look upon the miraculous burning of the menorah oil as

Life Stories: Hanukkah modest trinkets, the adults in my house aren t totally blasé about hanukkah giftseither. What a lovely tradition and what a wonderful way to teach a child http://www.babycenter.com/essay/9850.html
Extractions: Hanukkah falls on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, in the darkest season of the year. Its central symbol is a nine-branched candelabra, called a menorah or hanukkiah . When I turn off the lights and watch my child, Emilia, who's 3, light her little blue menorah, I think of the centuries when flames were all anyone had to hold back the longest nights of the year. Gelt, latkes, and flames of hope Walking the dog, I can see those little flames, and I think of the times and the places when setting Hanukkah lights in the window would have put a Jewish family at deadly risk. But then, religious freedom and political liberation are integral to the Hanukkah story: More than 20 centuries ago, Antiochus Epiphanes of Syria, then ruler of the land of Israel, ordered his men to desecrate the Temple and outlaw the practice of Judaism. In the battles that followed, Jewish guerrillas, led by a family called the Maccabees, defeated the Syrian forces and rededicated the Temple with an eight-day celebration. Over time, a brighter story was interwoven into this bloody history: It was said that the Maccabees found only a single jar of consecrated oil in the desecrated temple. When that little bit of oil kept a flame alight for eight days, it was clear that God had made a miracle. And Jews have celebrated ever since.

Extractions: KiteCD Over two thousand years ago the Jewish people lived in Israel, which was then called Judea. In Judea was the city of Jerusalem where the Jews holy temple had been built. Jewish people from all over went to the temple to worship. They often brought gifts to God. At that time, Antiochus the Fourth, King of Syria, ruled over many small countries, including Judea. Although he collected taxes from the Jews he desired the gifts offered at the temple. But when Antiochus soldiers arrived at the temple the High Priest would not allow them to enter. As a result Antiochus forced the Jews to take Greek names, read Greek books, and play Greek sports. He also replaced the high priest with one of his own friends, Menelaus. Through Menelaus, Antiochus began to rob the temple of its gold, gifts, and other treasures. The Jews managed to force Menelaus out of the temple and regain it for a while. However when Antiochus found out he sent his soldiers to Judea. His army tore down much of the city walls, burned Jewish homes, and sold many Jews into slavery. He placed a statue of Zeus in the temple. He also declared that the Jews could not celebrate the Sabbath or study the Torah. Antiochus soldiers went through out all of Jerusalem forcing Jews to worship statues of Syrian gods. But when the soldiers arrived in the small village of Modiin a Jewish man named Mattathias refused to worship the Syrian statue. Mattathias, his sons, and many of the people of Modiin attacked the soldiers. They managed to win and escape into the hills.

Extractions: links Jesus and Hanukkah Did you know that Jesus celebrated Hanukkah? In John 10, Jesus used this ancient holiday as an occasion to teach about His deity and His position as the Messiah. Hanukkah points to Jesus and his miraculous mission here on earth. It is a holiday that is also a celebration of Gods protection of the Jewish people 165 years before Jesus. During the celebration of Tabernacles and Hanukkah, which is also called the Festival of Lights, Jesus proclaimed, I am the Light of the World. Understanding Hanukkah and Jesus' use of this holiday will enhance both the witness and worship of your church. In this exciting message we will explain the history of Hanukkah, how Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah today and how Jesus used this special festival to point to His mission here on earth. We will light the Hanukkah menorah together and thank God for Jesus, the real reason for the season. This message is especially relevant during the Christmas/Hanukkah season in November and December.
