CELEBRATE CHANUKAH
Annual Feast Of illumination Ob-
 served In Jewish Homes And synagogues With Burning Candles.

Chanukah, the annual feast of Il
 umination, is being celebrated thif week in Jewish synagogues and homes This holiday, which coin cdes with the Christmas season, is celebrated with the exchanging of gifts just as the Christian holiday is, but with services and rites of dif- ierent import,
 The holiday is In celebration of a miracle wrought in the days of Judas Maccabeus, when this brave Hebrew leader refused the command of the Assyrian' king that the Jews should give up their God and wor ship Pagan idols. After three years Of warfare, he defeated the enemy, but his temple was destroyed. In this temple holy oil was kept con stantly burning, year in and year out but when Macceabeus set about the rebuilding of the temple there was only enough oil for one day, al- though It would take seven days to prepare a new supply. This small supply miraculously burned for 8 full week, and the fire was thus pre- vented from going out.
 This is symbolized in Jewish homes by the burning of candles Last Sunday night one candle was lighted: on Monday, two; and one additional will be added each nigh' until seven will be burning on Sat, urday night. Sunday, December 28 the last day of Chanukah. Is knowr as Rosh Chodesh Tebeth.
