TWO LIGHTS MARK
% DAY OF FEAST
Jews Celebrate Maccabee VIC
tory Till Eight Candles
Burn.

Two oil lamps, or candles, or might
lights will burn in every orthodox
Jewish home tonight in commemora-
ton OF the victories of the Maccabeans.
The second day of Hanukkah is being
celebrated today. The kind of lights
used depends entirely upon the home
in which they burned last night and
will continue to burn nightly until
sight days shah have passed. Each
day adds n to the number of lights,
and on the last night there will be
eight burning.
In wealthy homes elaborate candle
sticks, or ornate oil lamps, are in evil
dence, as the read OF the house blesses
b lights shortly after sun down. And
in the poorer and very poor homes,
whore there are no candlesticks, the
frugal housewife will cut a potato in
half. bore a hole through the centre Of
each half and place therein a candle
stick similar to those used on Christ
mas trees.
The Feast of Light Hanukkah,
was ushered in last night with serv-
Ices In adj the synagogues throughout
the city. The festival Is one of joy and
Thanksgiving, n youth is taught Of
h valor of his ancestors and the help
God gave them to purify and ave their
temple when Antioohus Epiphanes loot
ed It. a attempted to destroy the
Jewish regiiion.- They are told that the
Macoabees led the Jew to victory and
saved the temple.
Tho seventy members of the Jewish
S~isterhood of Newark will celebrate
h feast tonight when the Jennie
Fisher Club, composed of mothers re-
siding In the neighborhood, will pre-
sent a Jewish play at the settlement
house In Washington street.
