enjoy the spirit of the holiday
in it's full glory.
1t is believed that the Chris
tan lighting Christmas lights has
been borrowed from Chanukah.
Among Jews light has from the
earliest times been a religious
ritual associated with Temple
worship, with the ushering and
escorting the Sabbath and Yom
Tow in the form of kiddush and
Habdalah both in synagogue and
In the h o m e, at weddings and
yahrezeits, and yizkar-memorials,
and at all public services.
The Chanukah Menorah is usu-
ally made of brass or even tin, or
copper, or chromium, silver. One
may also see in the Jewish Mu-
scum in New York City a ire
mendously huge Menorah of ced-
atwood which takes up the entire
wallspace of an exhibit room.
There are of course memorials
of various sizes and shapes and
materials, ranging in price from
Is cents to thousands of dollars.
In olden times-centurieS ago
people used earthen or clay men,
orahs and instead of candles they
poured oil into the little cups
which they moulded into the
earthen holders. In the days of
the Maccabees, when Chanukah
was first celebrated, the priests
would pour consecrated oil to
feed the Menorah which was kept
in the Holy of Holes in the Tenn
pie at Jerusalem. In our own
time m enorahs usually have
beautiful symbolic decorations
engraved on them such as the six
pointed Star of David at the top
and crouching lions at each side.
What is the origin of this holi-
day?
Chanukah was first instituted
in the City of Jerusalem on the
25th day of Kislev in the year
1865 bee by Judah, the Macabee,
the Jewish priest-patriot of those
far-away times.

in a shirt with rolled up sleeves,

on the back of his head. The
woman, obviously his wife, was
