CHANKKAH FEAST
OF DEDICATION
Jewish Holiday Next Wednesday 4
One of the Most Interesting in
the Hebrew Calendar.

One of the most interesting han
holidays in the Jewish calendar be
gins this year on Wednesday evening,
December 4. and lasts for eight days.
It is known as CJ1anukkah, the feast
Of dedication, and though not OBJ
served by special services in the Syna-
gOgue= e IS eagerly looked forward to
By the children Of the Jewish house
hold, for it has in large measure come
TO be a children's festival
The historical background Of the
celebration IS found m the fact that
in the year 165, B. c., Judas Macca-
beus. one Of the few martial heroes
IN Jewish history, rededicated to the
service of the one God, the Temple at
Jerusalem after its population by
Autiochus Epiphanes, who had set up
in place of Jehovah's altar shrine to
ms heather god Just three years az
ter this pollution, on the 25th day OF
the month Of Kislev, the Temple was
reclaimed and rededicated to the ser
vice of God
Around the festival cluster many
beautiful legends, which have helped
to shape the character of the Celebra-
ton. One such legends is to the eff
feet that when the Temple was re
dedicated only single cruise of oil
was found unpOlluted, but through the
miraculous intervention of God, this
oil proved to be sufficient for burning
for eight successive nights, and until
other oil fitted for the service might
be prepared For this reason. to this
day, Jews light candles in their homes
in celebration Of Chanukkah for eight
successive nights, one on the first
night two on the second. and so on.
There is a theory that even before
the historical event which Chanukkah
served by Jews as the beginning of
the winter sOlstice, and that its origin
rs common with that of the Christian
Christmas and the Roman Sarurna1fa
which occur at about the same season. /
and which are likewise celebrated by
the lighting OF lights and the inter
change of gifts.
Among the Jews. Chanukkah is
time for rejoicing not only on the part
of the children but as well on the
part of the poor. who are always Iiber-
ally remembered.
