Hanukah is a time of joy and
rejoicing.
But I remember a Hanukah just
65 years ago, one that was a time
of sadness. I was nine years old
then. Byalistok was my home.
Our home was built around the
shul, as was every Jewish home;
and our lives revolved around
the rabbi.
And what a rabbi he was. Reb
Chaim Shmuel Lipschitz, a true
leader of his people. Every shab-
bos he gave a drasha, a drasha
that was understood by, and in-
spiring to all.
Today was Shabbos Mivorchim
and tonight we would light the
first candle of Hanukah.
I was standing in shul, holding
my father's hand when I felt an
uneasiness come over me. I
glanced around and noticed that
this uneasiness had effected
everyone. Something was wrong,
but I didn't know what.
By some instinct I felt that the
uneasiness was emanating from
Reb Chaim. I looked at him—
a small man who walked with
a slight limp caused by childhood
polio, which he barely survived.
But when he sat hunched over
his ancient sforim, his eyes
shown, and he seemed a giant.
That was our rabbi.
Still I felt uneasy. My forebod-
ing was confirmed when Reb
Chaim didn't give his usual
drasha.
We weren't to find out what
was the matter until after shab-
bos, when the shammos banged
on the bimah, and said that the
rabbi had a few words for us.
And then we learned the awful
truth. Reb Chaim's greatest
pleasure was henceforth to be
denied him. He could no longer
drink in the words of our holy
Torah. God had taken the light
from his eyes. Reb Chaim was
blind.
We lit our Hanukah licht that
night with a new understanding
and appreciation of the flicker-
ing light, a light that our eyes
were able to see. We lit our licht
with a new understanding, and
a new heaviness in our heart.
Israel. Cites 23 Acts
Of Egyptian Aggression
UNITED NATIONS,
N. Y.
(JTA)—Egypt has committed 23
acts of aggression and espionage
against Israel since the Nitzana
cease-fire went into effect on
Nov. 4, while nine sabotage at-
tacks against Israel were carried
out during the same period by
Egyptian "fedayeen" operating
out of Jordan, according to an
Israel complaint filed with the
Security Council here.
The complaint was in the form
of a three-page letter handed to
Nasrollah Entezam of Iran, this
month's president of the Council,
by Mordecai R. Kidron, deputy
chairman of the Israel delegation
to the United Nations.
Without calling for a meeting
of the Security Council on the
issue, but merely requesting of
the Council president that he cir-
culate the letter among the 10
other members of the Council,
Kidron pointed out that "the
nature, frequency and wide range
of these acts of aggression dem-
onstrate the patent insincerity of
Egyptian professions of peaceful
intent, and the contempt in which
Egypt holds its international
commitments."
And There Was Light
Violinist Mischa Elman, who
returned to Israel for a series of
concerts, tells about the poor,
blind woman in Tel Aviv who
put ten dollars into a collection
plate at a - synagogue. "You can-
not afford so much," said one.
"Yes, I can," she answered.
On being pressed to explain,
she said, "I am blind and I said
to my fellow straw-workers, 'How
much money do you spend in a
year for oil in your lamps when
it is too dark to work nights?'
They replied, ten dollars.'
"So," said the poor woman, "I
found that I save so much in the
year because I am blind and do
not need a lamp, and I give it to
shed light in the dark minds."
