CHANUkAH FEAST Is CELEBRATED.
Jewish Congregations Observe a Gus
tom Which is Many Centuries Old.

Jewish congregations of the city are this
Weeh observing C~hanukah. the feast of
and Will last for eight days. 1t has al
ready been observed at Temple Israel and
the temple OF the United Hebrew Congre-
gadoH, at the first by a presentation of
Lonsfellow's Judas Maccabeus' and at the
latter by thu recitation OF The Lessons Of
The Chanukah Lights"
The celebration of the B'nai-El Sabbath
School viii take place To-Day at Concordia
Hall on Cnouteau avenue. Il has been ar
ranged by Rabbi Spitz. The programme will
be carried out by children, and according
10 the custom of all Chanukah celebrations
they VIII erwar lave a party.
1t Is a coincidence that the feast takes
great Christian holiday. 1t occurs on the
twenty-fith day of Kissev. the ninth month.
which this yea happened TO come at the
same time as Christmas.
The feast Is one OF the hest-known and
most widely celebrated of Jewish holidays.
IL Is in honor of the delive-ance of the Jew
ish race from the tyranny of the .Assyrians
and It's first observance took place 1o years
before The Christian era 1t has not the
%sanctlty of many Jewish fremont and
IS regarded as a time for nerrymaking.
However, there is some of the supernatural
anu miraculous connected with the events
which led to the founding OF the feast.
the Jews were harassed by the Assyrians,
and about that time the Assyrtan King
entire force Of the Jews amounted to but a
smajl fraction OF the Asyrian army, and
they were overcome.
In the temples OF the Jews one of the
important parts Of the ritual was the
~Chanukah, or everlasting light, which was
constantly kept burning. The Assyrians de-
stroyed the furnishings of the temples and
the lights We're extinsuished.
The enemy was driven from the land by
a clan called Msccabees, and preparations
made to again take up the regular life.
Worship could not be held without the
light, and for a time none Of the sacred
OIL with which II was kindled could be
found. At last one cruise of IL was dis
covered, and history relates that after this
had been consecratcd it sutficed to keep the
light burning for eight days, when more
oil was secured.
Hence, the Feast OF Chanukah lasts eight
days, and is observed by Jews throughout
tn" world out of thanks to the Almighty
for OrGViting in time Of trouble
