Our first Chanukah festivity is on Thursday night at 6:15 pm. That’s the time when Religious School students are dismissed and Hebrew High School students arrive. I invite all of them and all of you to a special Menorah lighting. First, at about six o’clock, we will light the Chanukah (Chanukah Menorah) in the Minyan Chapel. To do the mitzvah right, we want to light real candles. But immediately after, we will reconvene at the Temple entrance where our beautiful menorah stands and light it and sing songs. On Sunday, December 5th, we have a wonderful Chanukah treat. Lorraine Abramson has just written a new book, “My Race: A Jewish Girl Growing Up Under Apartheid in South Africa”. She will be speaking at 10 am. Breakfast will be served. Lorraine is a fascinating woman with a captivating story. Then, at 3 pm, we will host the FEGS Chanukah party. Each year we invite mentally challenged members of group homes to our synagogue for a party. They eat and dance and get entertained. Many of our congregants and their children come to help out. It is a real mitzvah, it is our way of giving others a wonderful Chanukah. If you’ve never seem a part of it, you should come this year and see a mechayeh (something that adds to your life). Each year, we get together with our sister synagogues, Temple Beth El and Congregation Sons of Israel for Chanukah. This year, we will be having an A capella concert with S’madar, the Women’s A capella group of Barnard College. My daughter Jennifer is in the group. I’ve heard them and they are great. The concert is on Tuesday evening, December 7th at 7:30 pm. I recently received an interesting fax from a 12 year old New Jersey boy named Ari Hagler. What caught my attention was the bolded title “Shabbat Gilad.” now we’ve all heard of Shabbat Shirah and Shabbat Shuvah. There are many Shabbatot with special names, dedicated to various ideas. What is Shabbat Gilad? As a bar Mitzvah project, Ari decided he wanted to call attention to the plight of Gilad Shalit, the 24 year old Israeli soldier, who was captured by Hamas on June 25, 2006. that’s almost 4 and a half years. He's asking congregations all over America to remember Gilad Shalit on that day. I thought Ari Hagler had a very good idea. So I added Temple Hillel to the light of participating Congregations. Shabbat morning, December 11th we will learn about and pray for Gilad during our services. Please attend to solve your solidarity. Each of those programs is worthy of your participation. Chanukah takes place at the darkest point of the year, but at Temple Hillel the lights always shine brightly. Come on down and bask in the glow. Happy Chanukah Rabbi Steven M. Graber Page 2 PRESIDENT’S ARTICLE As the first frost has glistened from my grass in my backyard, and I heard the not so delicate crunching of leaves under my dogs paws, I realized it is that time again: winter is coming! I love all the seasons, but winter is probably my favorite. I am not sure exactly why. It could be the fact that I love to ski and spend time with my family in a warm and inviting cabin drinking hot chocolate and making s’mores next to a crackling fire. Thinking about it makes me want to go into my basement and sharpen my skis and get ready for the season. Maybe it’s eating a grilled cheese sandwich with some warm tomato soup at the kitchen table and watching as snowflakes float down in their own unique way to create an unmatched beauty and reminders of everlasting memories. Though these vivid pictures in my mind are part of it, I think the thing that makes me love this season the most is that it is holiday time. Watching my children, as well as all our Temple Hillel children, as they have grown up, and seeing their eyes light up as they light the menorah for the first day of Chanukah is priceless. What adds to this warm and fuzzy feeling I get this time of year, is all the wonderful things we have going on here at Temple Hillel. This adds logs to the fire and helps bring out the child in all of us and makes the start of winter so much fun. We start the month of December off with a bang with our Chanukah Menorah lighting with Rabbi Graber on December 2nd at 6:15 P.M. Then we continue the festivities with our Chai Kiddush on Saturday December 4th. At this time of year, it really makes you feel good to give, and this is a good way to honor a family member or a friend to commemorate a Mitzvah or special occasion. But the festivities and enlightenment continues on Sunday morning December 5th, when our very own congregant, Lorraine Abramson talks to us about her new book "My Race: A Jewish Girl Growing Up Under Apartheid in South Africa." This will no doubt be a book you will want to read and a discussion you will not want to miss. Then on December 7th we have our annual Chanukah concert with Congregation Sons of Israel and Temple Beth El at Sons of Israel at 7:30 p.m. The concert shall feature S’madar, a Jewish a capella group from Barnard College, as well as songs with all the clergy and a candle lighting. It is sure to be a fantastic evening full of ruach that will certainly tie a nice bow around the holidays for all of us. In this time of need for so many, I would be remiss if I did not mention a wonderful idea by a caring young man, Max Drayer. For his Bar Mitzvah he asked that everyone considering bringing a gently used coat that they no longer need for him to give to an organization that helps the needy. I was thrilled to see that there were more coats outside the coat room for collection than there were in the coatroom! I am very proud of Max and all the other BNai Mitzvahs who are doing selfless acts for charity. I thank all of you for making a difference. Please continue thinking about others first and you will continue to be the Menschen that you already are. Here’s wishing you all a Happy Chanukah!!! B’Shalom, Michael S. Feit, President Page 3 MAZEL TOV TO OUR B’NAI MITZVAH ARIEL EISENBERG Ariel is a High Honor Roll student. Her favorite subjects are math, Honors Science and English.

It was just summer….HOW CAN IT BE HANUKKAH ALREADY??? Well ready or not I have my Hanukkah list all written out!!! WHO WANTS IT?? Time just seems to be flying by. We had another great month filled with lots of new activities and some tried and true past programs. We made clown cones and our Pre-Kadima kids just loved “Evie and Danny the Clowns” spraying some extra whipped cream on their clown faces. Max and Joel Drayer led an Israeli Education and Parashat program, Cantor David has been “droppin in” from time to time and Echo’s Sweet 16 was a big hit. Everyone wore party hats with paws on them and helped Echo blow out the candles on his ice cream cake. Later in the month DAN GRABER came by and helped us run the activity called “where’s Evie?” Well guess what…I wasn’t there so you never did get to find me! I was busy @ open school night with the rest of our dedicated youth group teacher parents!! USY had a CRAZY game of Pictionary that I heard was hilarious. So sorry I missed that. I love to see our kids get lost in laughter. Oh well, there will be plenty more laughs!! If anyone is looking to get rid of a computer we sure could use a new one in the youth lounge. The computer is slower than Zippy the Wonderslugg (AKA me)!! If you do have one our trusty computer whizz kids will install it in a heartbeat!! Well…I guess that’s all the news that’s fit to print. Again, if your child is not a member of youth group they should be and if they are…drop me a line if they have any suggestions!! Happy Holidays, Evie P.S. Stay tuned for Echo’s Hanukkah pix!!

It was only a few weeks ago that I presided over an event in which the simultaneous translator – who also does work for the President of Mexico – came to me and said I heard such glowing praise of you that it was a fresh breath of air considering the anti-Semitism that exists here. I retorted Madame the history and success of this hemisphere is entwined with Jewish Pirates and Conversos (Jews forced to convert to Catholicism but maintained identity as crypto-Jews) that escaped the brutality of the Inquisition in the 15th and 16th century and navigated the Trade Winds in hope of revenge, treasure, and a safe harbor that ultimately led to intermittent alliances with the Dutch and British against Spanish rule germinating in Mexico’s Independence from Spain in the 19th Century. wealth to their Spanish Inquisitors through annex of their lands. This created a stir among the Jews and embrace of the Dutch by turning their merchant networks into intelligence gathering apparatus using Ladino as a crypto-language. In September 1628, Admiral Piet Heyn, along with Jewish navigators and privateers, led a Dutch force of twenty-five ships that captured the entire Spanish silver fleet and carried back to Amsterdam a vast fortune in precious metals, pearls and rubies worth nearly a billion dollars in today’s currency. The haul was enough to rescue bankrupt Holland and maintain its excursions in the West. Heyn’s spectacular success would inspire generations of Jewish privateers, corsairs, buccaneers and pirates, and eventually lead the Dutch to settle New Amsterdam in which the Jews were It’s a known fact that Jews, especially skilled in cartography and granted religious freedoms. astronomy, accompanied Christopher Columbus on his historic Jewish piracy is a panorama of Jewish history, tracing its roots in voyage of discovery.
