CHANUKAH
By Rabbi Nathan Barack, Phoenix

BY Rabbi Nathan Barack, Phoenix
Chanukah really commemorates
two miracles. That a days sup
ply of oil lasted an additional
week was indeed miraculous. But
this miracle was preceded and
made possible by another-by the
existence of single cruise of pure
olive oil. After all, did not the
pagans, unresisted and even aid
ed by their Jewish imitators, desc
crate the Temple? Did they not
remove from it everything pre-
cious and fine? And yet they over
looked cruise of pure olive oil,
sealed by a reliable High Priest
That surely was a miracle!
The legendary miracle has, of
course, a deeper significance than
the literal meaning. The mild
Jewish Hellenists, attracted by
the outward glitter of pleasure
pursuing Greek paganism, began
to water down their own religion
with imported limitations. The
softening down process prepared
the ground for the unscrupulous
and self-hating Jews and for the
Greek pagans. The combined
cynicism of the extreme HELEN
lists and the force of the Greeks
caused the pietists to hide or make
vain sacrifices, and the moderates
to submit, so that the entire land
became defiled by pagans and
pagan ways.
It was truly miracle that in
that atmosphere of moral paraly-
sis and surrender, one family not
only remained true to Judaism but
had the courage and faith to
raise the banner of resistance. The
second miracle followed newt
ably. The little band of Maccabees
rallied and inspired thousands
of followers. Their own religious
flame became spiritual confla-
grafton and light. The traitors
and tyrants were burned out of
the land, and the shining light of
Judaism was preserved for the en-
tire world.
The story of Chanukah although
ancient in time, is ever-new in
truth. It's application to the rise
and fall of Nazism should be OBJ
vious. Even today, the imitators
whether as Americans or Jews,
are still attracted by external
glamor and pleasure-seeking. Re-
ligious and social ideals are modi-
fed to suit convenience and de-
sire. Therefore, quantity instead
of quality is stressed in places of
worship; and therefore there is
passivity while the poor mans
cost of living rises and his earn
ing power declines. An atmos-
phere in which true religion can
not thrive and reaction can -four
ish is thus created.
Yet, even in the midst of cyni-
cism there will always be those
in whom a true religious and
democratic faith will live. They
will eventually find realistic
way for transmitting their own
faith to the weak and disillu-
stoned. They will again make re-
ligion the way of life of the many
and democracy a system of social
living whereby all have the bene-
fits and responsibilities of their
equal rights.

dren arm
abo ut Christ
mas in the public schools. By
handwork and song, by story and
drama the message of Christmas
is driven home. 1t is improper
that our children should be
christianized in public schools
which are supposed to reflect the
separation of church and state.
Even in a democracy, however,
we must expect the vast majority
to be somewhat careless or in
different about religious status of
so small a minority.
Many parents give in and OBJ
serve Christmas at home. They
do so out of a variety of motives.
Responsive to the influence about
them, fearful that denying the
holiday to their children will
have harmful psychological con-
sequences, frequently assimila-
zionist at heart, our Jewish
parents make an odd picture as
they stand on chairs to affix the
star of Bethlehem to the top of
their Jewish childrens' Christmas
trees.
The observance of Christmas
among Jews is predicated on the
polite fiction that, after all, Christ
mas is no longer a religious oc-
casion, just secular day of good
cheer. This would indeed appear
to be true if we judged by the
manner of observance on the
part of many Jews and non
Jews. It is hard to find the re-
ligious significance of an occa-
sion marked by conspicuous con-
sumption and over indulgence in
strong drink.
All gentileS are not Christians.
have discussed this problem of
the true nature of Christmas with
friends who are Christians. They
invariably make the same re-
sponse. They tell me that Christ
mas is a sacred holy day, one
of the great festivals of the
church. They share my distaste
for the conduct of Jewish parents
and Jewish merchants who have
done so much to cheaper, COM
mercialize, and secularize their
holy day.
The imaginative reader will
draw simple parallel. How
would we who are Jews like it if
our non-Jewish neighbors were
to decide to observe Yom Kippur,
not as aday of fasting and prayer,
but as a time of gorging and
carouSal?
1t is a bad policy and worse
taste for Jews to celebrate Christ
mas. Instead of prohibiting the
observance we should turn with
positive emphasis to the dramatic
celebration of Chanukah in syn
agogue and home. Light the
Chanukah lights, tell the Macab-
bean story, exchange gifts, attend
the synagogue, have a party for
the children. In this way will
Chanukah become so inspiring
and meanful to our children that
the problem of Christmas will at
long last be solved.

centuries go.
With a prayer on their lips
and sword in their
hands freedom-loving Jews over
whelmed their enemy, regained
possession of Jerusalem, and re.
consecrated the Holy Temple to
the service of the Almighty. Since
the ceremony of rededication ex-
tended over period of s days,
we observe Chanukah, the Feast
of Dedication, for the same num-
Der of days. Another explanation
is less political. 'It came to pass"
says the Talmud, "that when
the Maccabees overpowered the
Greeks (Syrians) and re-entered
the Temple, they found but one
bottle of pure oil :, enough
for one day. But a miracle hap
pened, and it lasted for 8 days"
For the survival Of the Jewish
people as well as of Judaism it
does not make a big difference
whether one is more impressed
with the immortal deeds of the
Maccabees or with the miracle
of the Menorah (Sacred lamp.
For many centuries our ancestors
paid very little attention to the
realistic and political explanation
given for the observance of Cha
nukah. After the French Rev.
olution assimilationist Jews had
no use for our Festival altogether.
With the advent of Zionism it has
become fashionable to speak
about the Maccabees and their
patriotism.
The observance of Chanukah
must be meaningful. 'Lotkes"
may be delicious dish Il person
ally enjoy eating them) and card
games in honor of the Feast of
Dedication may be a pleasant
pastime, but contrary to the gen.
eral belief neither one is essen
tial to the observance of Chanu-
kah. 1t is different with lighting
the candles. AS long as we "do
not neglect to light the candles
of Chanukah" giving our children
chance to ask us about their
historical meaning, we do our
share in not allowing the next
generation to grow up in ignor-
ance about our glorious past. The
8 candles will impress our chill
dren with the idea that principles
should not be sacrificed on the
altar of opportunism. Israeps
neighbors gave in and perished,
but Israel preferring light to
darkness resisted and is still
alive.
Kindle the taper like the stead
fast star,
Ablaze on evenings forehead DER
the earth,
And add each night a luster till
afar
An eightfold splendor shine
above the hearth.
Clash, Israel, the cymbals, touch
the Tyre,
Blow the brass trumpet and the
harsh-tongued horn;
Chant psalms of victory till the
heart takes fire,
The Maccabean spirit leap new
born. Emma Lazarus)
