The Lights of Chanukah.

Though among the least important of the festivals of the
Jewish calendar, Chanukah—the Feast of Light and Dedica-
tion—comes as the bearer of a message not without signifi-
cance to the men and women of today. Light has always been
a favorite symbol in Judaism. The Menorah, the Ner Tomid,
the Jahrzeit light, the Sabbath candles, all suggest the appro-
priateness of light as an expression of the Jew's faith and of
his hopes and aspirations.
But the Chanukah tapers are not kindled in a sudden blaze
of light but from day to day they grow in number and in efful-
gence. May not this tell the Jew that the light which it is his
to spread must grow from day to day and generation to gener-
ation; and the deeper the gloom and the darkness and the sup-
erstition that surrounds him, the more imperative it is for him
as the torch bearer among the nations, to spread the light of
faith and truth and of justice and of humanity among the peo-
ples of the earth?
Because of the fine symbolic character of the Chanukah
lights, it is well that they should be kindled in every Jewish
home. It is pleasing to note that the Union of American He-
brew Congregations through its Department of Synagog and
School Extension is making an effort to popularize the obser-
vance of this ceremonial and that many congregations through-
out the land to this same end, are distributing Chanukah can-
dles among the children of the religious schools. No doubt as
a result of this, these lights will burn this year in more Jewish
homes than ever before. We shall not be surprised, however,
if through the indifference of parents, they will not everywhere
be lighted even though the children may have been furnshed
with the necessary tapers by their religious schools. We may
go further and say that we shall not be entirley surprised if in
these same Jewish homes a few weeks hence, Christmas trees
will be set up and Christmas candles lighted. Such is the con-
sistency of some Jewish men and women.
We have no quarrel with them for their inconsistency which
in the utmost charity we may say is born of ignorance and of a
lack of appreciation of the spirit of a faith that inspires and
ennobles those who comprehend its essential teachings. For
the majority of Jews, Chanukah will continue to be a messen-
ger of good tidings and a high inspiration to spread the light
of truth, of faith, and of fraternity among the peoples of the
earth. May then its lights glow in an ever wider circle for the
edification and the inspiration of our men, our women and our
children.

whatever sect or nation they may belong" are equally without
foundation, we are of course not in position to state with any
degree of accuracy.

The Nomination of Mr. Simons.

The nomination of Mr. Charles C. Simons for the office of
Federal Judge of the eastern district of Michigan by Senators
Townsend and Couzens is a distinguished honor well deserved.
Mr. Simons is a man of clean character and of high ideals. In
the various public offices which he has held, he has served with
signal ability and loyalty to his own credit as well as that of
his city and his state.
Should Mr. Simons' nomination be ratified by the Senate—
as there is reason to believe it will—Michigan may well be con-
gratulated upon the choice that has been made for so exalted
and important a position as Federal Judge of this district. We
feel sure that should the honor come to him, Mr. Simons will
read into it obligations to serve with devotion and with loyalty.
He is that kind of a man.

A Great Loss to Zionism.

The recent death of Mr. Peter J. Schweitzer, chairman of
the National Administrative Committee of the Palestine Foun-
dation Fund in America, and the representative of Zionist in-
terests in a number of organizations, is a great loss not only to
the Zionists but to Judaism at large. Mr. Schweitzer was a man
who though wedded to the nationalistic idea with which we do
not sympathize, must be regarded as a great Jew for his life
was devoted to the service of his people and all of his time and
his energies and his means were dedicated to a cause that in his
mind spelled salvation for Jews and Judaism.
It is said that he was the largest individual contributor to
Zionist causes. During the past five years, he had subscribed
almost half a million dollars to the Palestine Foundation Fund,
the Palestine Restoration Fund, the Jewish Colonial Trust, and
other Jewish causes. During his recent visit to Palestine, he
laid the foundation of a hospital in Tiberius to which he per-
sonally contributed the sum of fifty thousand dollars.
Mr. Schweitzer was a man of broad culture, an accomplish-
ed linguist a supporter of all cultural movements. His passing
away will therefore be mourned by all sections of Jewry irre-
spective of their attitude toward the particular interpretation of
Judaism in which he was especially interested.

The opening of the new Talmud
Torah building in Detroit should be a
sign for jubilation and rejoicing
among local Jews. Not until the for-
mation of the Unites! Hebrew Schools
did Jewry here see so enthusiastic and
loyal an interest shown in the cause
of Hebrew education as has been evi-
denced by the men who compose the
faculties of the schools and the mem-
bers of the organization whose chief
activity has been to see the cause of
Ilebrew learning advance. What we
like particularly about the United
Hebrew Schools of today is that they
sponsor not a "jazz education" but an
honest-to-goodness Jewish spirit of
cultural and spiritual advancement.
The products of the local schools are
Jewish boys and girls who already
prove themselves a credit to their peo-
ple and their country. The schools
proved without a shadow of doubt
that the breeding of good Jews will
also make of the boys and girls better
Americans. For our part, we are par-
ticularly happy to help celebrate the
opening of the new school because we
know that the caliber of the men at
the head of the organization is such
as always to keep Hebrew education
within the sphere of dignity. While
the new building is to serve as a sort
of community building, we know that
its activities will be conducted in a
strictly Jewish manner and fashion,
tending in the long run to benefit the
Jewish people at large. The day the
schools were organized and the pres-
ent system adopted, under the super.
vision of Bernard Isaacs, the super-
intendent of the United Hebrew
Schools, was a lucky one for Detroit
Jewry, and in greeting the United
llebrew Schools of Detroit we extend
to them our hearty Mazel Toe.

CHANUKAH

By Margaret Freeman.

Little candles shed your light
And illuminate our night;
Tell your tales of conquests won,
Of Judea's warrior son;
Of the faith-born wondrous power,
Granted in our darkest hour;
Speak of him who made us free,
Israel's champion—Maccabee.

What is slav'ry's iron chain
To the thrall of heart and brain?
What's the tyrant's rage so blind,
To the listless human mind?
Or the champion's cunning skill,
To the independent will?
Which is worse—a cell's slim light
Or the soul's perpetual night?

Wake, then, rouse the candles bright,
Sleeping Israel, with your light!
Tell them that our chains of old
Meant but passing pains untold.
But our fetters forged each day,
Are blots we must wipe sway;
Had we courage to be free,
Would we need a Maccabee?

A Chanukah Message to the
Jewish Youth.

President of the Young People's
League of the United Synagogue
of America.

"So you will," replied the Lamp,
"Only you must be patient. This
evening one candle will be lighted,
tomorrow evening two, the next
evening three, and so on till the
eighth day, when they will all be
alight."
"But what is the whole thi.lg for
anyhow?" asked Mendel.
"Listen to me, children!" com-
manded the Lamp in its soft, oily
voice. "Long, long ago there lived
a very brave Jewish warrior called
Judas Maccabeus. He wee just
much a hero as Nelson or Wellington,
because he fought to protect our

foreign foes, but Judas won it back.

"How lovely!" broke in Mirah.
"But you haven't told us about the
eight candles yet."
"The Hebrew historian, Josephus,
imagines that our people kindle these
lights every Kislev (December), in
celebration of the liberty which Judas
gave them. There is a sweet legend
that tells how the priests discovered
a smal cruse of sacred oil which they
sealed up and hid away. For eight
days the cruse was miraculously re-
filled with oil until some more was
procured to give a fresh supply to
the lamp."

"Good-bye," shouted the children
to the Lamp, and they laughed mer-
rily when the Lamp replied:
