ARAB SINAI The British Mandate, 1920 This the "Palestine" promoted by the Arab states, many jour- nalists and TIME magazihe. This the Palestine recognized by the Balfour Declaration, the League of Nations, the United Nations Charter and the American Congress. It Includes Jordan (the Arab Palestina) and Israel (the Jewish Palestine). LIES about the boundaries of Palestine are being used to justify a campaign of terrorism and murder of Jews and those at peace with Jews. Those calling themselves "Palestinians" say they are a homeless, stateless people driven from their land. THEY LIE. There is already an independent Arab Country of "Pales- tine." It is JORDAN their homeland, along with the other Arab states.

"Chanukah — Its His- tory, Observance and Sig- nificance" is an English book. It contains a limited number of pages in Hebrew, including quotes from prayers. Yet it was pub- lished to be read from right to left in the Hebraic fash- ion. This is the traditionalism of this book, published by Mesorah Publications, Ltd., publishers of the ArtScroll Mesorah Series. In the book, Rabbi Hersh Goldwurm, a noted scholar and writer, offers an un- usual prespective on the reason behind the festival of Hanuka. According to Rabbi Goldwurm, the festival was declared 25 years be- fore the Jewish military victory over Syria. What is more, Judah the Mac- cabee, leader and hero of the Jewish rebellion, laid down his arms and re- turned to his tiny Judean village of Modi'in while nearly all of Jerusalem and the entire coun- tryside were still under the control of hostile forces. The event that prompted the proclamation of the fes- tival was the liberation of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and its cleansing after three years of desecra- tion by the occupation army of King Antiochus. It was then, in 165 BCE, that the famous jug of pure olive oil was discovered and the "Miracle of Lights" took place. As Rabbi Goldwurm de- picts it, Hanuka primarily celebrates freedom of reli- gion, not military prowess. The three-part book studies Hanuka from the Orthodox vantage point. The book begins with a philosophic exposition on the religious sym- bolism and significance of Hanuka. Then comes Rabbi Goldwurm's his- tory, which he follows up with two of the most famous tales in talmudic literature: that of Han- nah and her seven sons, and the story of the Jewess who seduced and slew an army general. The last section of the book presents the prayers, Psalms and songs of the candlelighting service, fully translated and with an ex- tensive commentary; the religious laws of Hanuka and a lengthy and varied section of rabbinic insights. The philosophical intro- duction was written by Rabbi Nosson Scherman and the parts on the prayers and rabbinic insights by Rabbi M-eir Zlotowitz. Scherman and Zlotowitz are general editors of the ArtScroll Series.
