SCHOOL NEWS By Rachel Ginsburg, Principal ORBIT Page 21 This year, the first night of Chanukah and Thanksgiving fall on the same day. According to the experts, this happens every 1000 years. We are so lucky to be alive on this special occasion. Is there anything common between the two holidays? The answer is YES. The main theme in both holidays is thanking God. On the first Thanksgiving, in 1621, the Plymouth colonists decided to make a special feast to share with the native Indians in order to thank God for the crops that he provided in the first tough year in America. This tradition of celebrating a special day of thanking God happened two centuries before President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it as a national holiday. On Chanukah, we celebrate the miracle of the oil which kept the Menorah in the Temple shining for 8 days. But it is also a Holiday where we thank God for the miracle of the Jews who overcame and beat the mighty Syrian Greeks. As it is said on Chanukah, as part of the Grace after the meal, “Birkat Hamazon” - “We thank God for the Miracles, the deliverance, the mighty acts and the triumphant victories which he (God) has done to our fathers in ancient days and at this time of the year”. Both holidays emphasize certain kinds of food that are associated with the event. On Thanksgiving, we eat turkey, pumpkin and corn which is associated with the food that the Pilgrims ate for their first feast. On Chanukah, we eat anything which has been fried in oil. It will be very special this year to see Menorot in the stores which are built like turkeys and to eat latkes with turkey on Thanksgiving. We plan to have a Chanukah party before the Thanksgiving vacation. It will take place on Sunday, November 24 th , 2013 at 11:30AM. But our annual lighting of the Menorah will take place after the vacation, on the last day of Chanukah, Wednesday December 4 th at 5:45PM. Following are some events that you will want to put on your calendar: Friday, November 15 th – New Member Shabbat Dinner - 5:30PM-6:30PM Saturday, November 16 th – Havdalah Class Services – 4:00PM-5:30PM, conducted by Vav and Zayin (6 th and 7 th Grade) students Thursday, November 21 st - Bar Mitzvah Orientation. (We plan to invite some guests who will share their Mitzvah projects). I want to wish all of you a delicious Thanksgiving and a Very Happy Chanukah.
