Hanukkah Calls For Partnership With God However, the Rambam wants to teach us that hanukkah and Purim are unique festivals hanukkah and Joseph teach us that God effectuates miracles in history http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/001222/torah.shtml
Extractions: Vayeshev/Genesis 37:1-40:23 Is our God primarily creator of the universe, lord of nature and the cyclical seasons of the calendar, or is God primarily the invisible director of historical events, guardian of Israel who is the eventual redeemer? It's timely to raise questions based upon Maimonides' - the Rambam's - laws of Hanukkah - and at the same time answer this question.

Extractions: (Genesis 37:1-40:23/Vayeshev) Maimonides, the 12th century halachic (Jewish legal) codifier and philosopher, concludes his Laws of Hanukkah by describing the significance of the Hanukkah lights: "The commandment of the Hanukkah lights is extremely beloved; every individual must take great care ... to intensify our praise and gratitude to God for the miracles God has wrought for us. (If a person is poor), oil to kindle the Hanukkah lights (must take) precedence over the purchase of wine for the sanctification of the Sabbath ... because it contains the remembrance of the miracle" (Chapter 4, Laws 11, 13).

Hanukkah, An Introduction - Mishpacha hanukkah is the holiday of being Jewish amidst the Christmas tide. what doeshanukkah mean to you and what do you want to teach your children? http://www.mishpacha.org/hanukkah.shtml
Extractions: Those who think Hanukkah is the Jewish Christmas have it almost right: Hanukkah is the holiday of being Jewish amidst the Christmas tide. Consider Hanukkah's place in the Jewish year: a minor holiday not commanded by the Torah, barely mentioned by the Talmud. Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are holidays for the soul. Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot recall the forging of the Jewish people through their journey from Egyptian slavery to Israel and freedom. Hanukkah, along with Purim, recalls the later story of being Jewish in a non-Jewish world, a world where Judea could not simply close its borders against an increasingly globalized civilization. Related: Hanukkah and your family A giving idea Hanukkah Mad Lib fun If the theme of Purim is physical survival despite outside threats, Hanukkah is about the survival of the Jewish spirit with a healthy dose of physical resistance thrown in for good measure. How does a community maintain its identity in relation to the broader culture? How much should outside influences be resisted, and how much embraced? How much do we depend upon God to save us and how much upon ourselves? These were the questions that burned in the Jews in the time of the Maccabbees more than 2100 years ago. It was the renewed relevance of these questions which propelled Hanukkah, for centuries a minor festivity, to a central place in the Jewish calendar of the 20th century.

Extractions: Leading the way for this year's holiday season is Hanukkah, celebrating a miracle that occurred over 2000 years ago when a tiny bit of oil burned for eight days. Honoring this holiday means lighting a menorah (a nine-branched candelabra), and eating special foods that have been cooked in oil. For the best in seasonal preparations for Hanukkah, visit Celebrate with JOI: Hanukkah Food. The traditions of Hanukkah have survived for centuries, and are still celebrated around the world by young and old alike. A must for any Hanukkah meal is the traditional latke, a delicious pancake of grated potatoes and onions fried crisp in oil. The secret to great latkes is to remove as much liquid from the potatoes and onions as possible. Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel, and squeeze the liquid out of the mixture. Do the same for the grated onions. Sample the site's Potato Latke recipe and serve with sour cream or applesauce, or sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Unity In The Virgin - Glenn Reynolds - MSNBC.com hanukkah is an eightday celebration of the Jewish revolution against Syria in been intended to teach lessons for Jews who needed to resist the Syrians. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6662217/
Extractions: Guest blogging for Glenn this week is Dave Kopel , Research Director at the Independence Institute, and co-author of several articles with Glenn. 11:17 PM ET This weekend was the celebration of the Virgin of Guadeloupe , and if you don't know who she is, you might as well learn, because she is well on the road to becoming as an all-American icon like St. Patrick and Saint Nicholas. You don't have to believe that there really was an escaped slave who spearheaded the Christianization of Ireland in order to acknowledge that St. Patrick's Day is an inescapable element of American culture. And you don't have to believe that the 4 th century's Bishop Nicholas in southwestern Turkey gave presents to poor people-especially to impecunious young women, so that they would have a marriage dowry, and thereby be saved from a life of prostitution. But there's no doubt that the St. Nicholas story traveled west, becoming especially popular with Catholics in the Netherlands. And from there, the story jumped the Atlantic when
Extractions: news community diaries shop Spirit of the Season Teaching Children to Give of Themselves By Gina Roberts-Grey, LCSW Many families wince at the official start of the holiday season. In addition to the routine you typically follow during the year, you now go in search of the perfect gift for loved ones and bake dozens of cookies. How do your children perceive this busy time of year? While you rush through tasks that are supposed to be enjoyable and provide your family a memorable holiday experience, what do your children learn about the spirit of the season? Perhaps your children wish they had more time to spend enjoying the holidays with you. Or they might want to participate in the hustle and bustle of preparing for the holidays. Most children appreciate the chance to be thoughtful, generous and compassionate. What if this year you could help your child give the people on his list presents that didnt cost a cent? Cultivating Compassion Children look to our examples of generosity, compassion and selflessness more than ever at this time of year. They want to help select gifts for teachers and siblings. They demonstrate their best behavior as the holidays near, hoping to impress family members and elves bearing gifts. But parents feeling overwrought from the burden of trying to create the ideal holiday atmosphere can forget that random and genuine acts of kindness are powerful lessons to teach their children. Dr. Vicki Peterson is a pediatrician and mother of two active young boys in Chicago, Ill. She believes that focusing on the meaning of the season has potential health benefits.

About LAMB Ministries - Messianic Home Did you know that we are commanded to teach our children about hanukkah? Look upthe Scripture in Proverbs 226. Train up a child in the way he should go http://www.messianichome.org/articles/1999/fall/celebratehanukkah.htm
Extractions: Messianic Home Online HOME Article Archive Site News Our History ... Contact Us by Jane Diffenderfer, published in Fall 1999 Hanukkah is here, that special time of year. The time of bitter sweet rejoicing. A time for family. A time for rededication. A time to focus on the promise of the resurrection. A time to let your menorah shine before men. Did you know that we are commanded to teach our children about Hanukkah? Look up the Scripture in Proverbs 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The Hebrew word for "train up" in this verse is chanuk. Chanuk (pronounced with a gutter "ch" - "h" sound) is the root word in Hanukkah and it means dedication. The Exegeses Bible puts it this way: Hanukkah up a lad. So we are encouraged by the Scriptures to teach our children about Hanukkah (Dedication) to the Lord Yahweh. Here are some suggestions to make Hanukkah memories that will last a lifetime: Read the story of Hannah and her seven sons from 2 Maccabees 7:1-42 and 4 Maccabees 8:1-18:21. The Maccabees books are found in the Apocrypha of some Bibles. It is a powerful teaching about one family's dedication and determination to serve the God of Israel and Him only no matter what the cost. Hannah's steadfast testimony for the Word of God is one of courage and endurance to the end. Read the story of another family's dedication to YHWH - the family of Mattithias also found in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Book of Maccabees.
