JEWISH FESTIVAL
BEGINS ON SUNDAY
SERVICES TO BE CONDUCTED
AT LOCAL SYNA-
GOGUE

Chanukkoh, the happy eight
day festival which Jews here and
throughout the world will begin
to celebrate by lighting the first
candle on the eve of December
18, and an additional candle for
each successive night, is often
known as The Feast of Lights.
Games and gifts and special
foods will add to the gaiety of
this winter festival.
Services in connection with
this event will be held at the
local synagogue by Rabbi Ben
Miller.
In the Jewish calendar the
holiday always falls on the 25th
day of the ninth month (Kislev)
to commemorate the dedication
of the restored Temple in Jeru-
salem. Victory of Jewish forces
against the armies of the Syrian
Antiochus Epiphanes had made
the service possible.
The antics of EpiphaneS, which
stirred resistance, have a familiar
aspect in this age of modern die
tators. Syria happened to be a
country with Hellenistic culture.
Having faith in the power of
armed superiority, the king de-
cided to enforce totalitarian
pattern upon all his subjects. A
royal order decreed that all peo-
pie in the realm must become
Greek and worship Greek gods.
Unwilling to surrender a re-
ligion and culture of their own,
the Jews resisted. They knew
! that individual liberty and demo-
cratic rights, which they priced,
could not survive the new decree.
To save what was most precious
to them, they gathered about the
standard of the Maccabees. Vic
tory in the struggle meant so
much that the date of the rededi-
cation of the Temple was pro-
claimed as an annual holiday for
the Jews.
This year Chanukkoh Oiterally,
''dedication') will have a special,
timely message for all Jews. To
those who suffer. vicariously as
well as actually. from religious
intolerance. the lights will again
| forecast that struggle for free
dom against great obstacles can
result in victory.
