• Hanukkah - Ljusets fest om seger & mirakel

  2007-12-04 12:44:01

  :: IDAG 24 Kislev 5768 vid solnedgången (tisdagen den 4 december) tänds första ljuset i den högtid som varar i 8 dagar från den 25:e Kislev enligt den judiska kalendern. HANUKKAH firas till minnet av judarnas, mackabéernas, seger över de grekiska härskarna och Antiochus Epiphanes armé (164 f. Kr). Man firar en liten nations seger över den tidens stormakt såväl som den judiska trons andliga seger över hellenism och greker. Helgen firas för segern och miraklet med oljelampan; den heliga olivoljan skulle brinna i templets ljusstake - menorah - en dag, men räckte i åtta dagar precis så länge som det tog för templets återinvigning.

  Mossa'ei Hanukkah 5767Well, now that Hanukkah is over, stores in Israel will begin stocking up on dried fruits, various wines and grape juice, in the annual attempt to commercialize Tu biShvat (New Year of the the Trees) and profit from it.I, on the other hand, will be preparing my Purim mishlo'ah manoth list (gifts sent to friends on Purim). Then, between now and Purim, I will be paying attention to who is being "naughty or nice." Those who are "naughty" will receive a nastly red line through his* name."Nya-ha-ha! YOU will not receive any manoth from me!" ...as if he really cares.... But, that's not the point. I will still get satisfaction in punishing him,...by crossing him off of my list with a big and nasty, red marking pen!Oh,...yeah,...that's right. There's negative misswah "Lo Linqom" - You will not take revenge on another Jew (Lev. 19:18, Mishnah Torah Hil. De'oth 7:9).Hmmm...I guess that throws a stick into the spokes of my evil plan. Then, of course, there's that min
