Jews Will Celebrate The celebration of Chanuckah, which in Hebrew means dedication, also known as the Feast of Lights will be celebrated by Jews every- where for eight beginning Sunday night, Dec 1951 About 2100 years ago the Syrians and Greeks attempted to conquer and subdue Judea. Antiochus, the the Syrian ruler at that time, is. sued a decree prohibiting the Jews from worshiping God in their own Manner. The decree also provided the death penalty for the violation of any of its terms Antiochus days sent an army to destroy and re move all Jewish sacred religious objects and substitute pagan idols in their stead. The soldiers also compelled the J worship these idols “Enraged at the prevention of their ws to of freedom of worship, the | ewish High Priest, Mattathias, in utter disregard of his own life, ! senly. defied this outrageous de gree: Raising his sword on high, he shouted {0 the worshippers about yet him who is tor God fol ow-ome.’ The patriarch then and fere killed several worshippers Were in the act of sacrificing | Of the sacred alter.

After a thorough seareh only one small cruse of oil Was discovered, which bore the official seal of the High Priest This: was sufficient for only one day, but miracutausly it lasted for eight days In commemoration of this event, the holiday of Chanucka is cele- brated for eight days. It begins with the kindling of one light on the first night and continues with two lights on the second night, and progresses by adding one more each night until the eighth and last night is reached Thus the principle of freedom of worship was reaffirmed: over 2000 years ago.
