On the Jewish calendar, Chanukah starts on the 25th of Kislev. • What The Holiday Commemorates: Chanukah celebrates the victory of the Jews, led by mem- bers of the Hasmonean family — notably Judah Maccabee — over the Greco-Syrians (Seleucids) in 164 B.C.E. The Seleucids repressed the practice of Judaism and converted the Holy Temple in Jerusalem into a house of pagan worship. The Hasmoneans restored the Temple and its altar. Chanukah is the Hebrew word for "ded- ication" and comes from the phrase, chanukat ha-mizbay- ach,"dedication of We Buy Clean CARS! We Promise You!

Though the menorah is the most popular symbol of the holiday, Chanukah lights do not have to be in a menorah. It is permissible to light them in individual holders that have been lined up. It is preferable to place the lights in a window facing the street for the sake of pirsumey nisah, publicizing the mir- acle, but the menorah also may be placed within the house where it can be observed by all members of the household. • Rules And Regulations: Chanukah lights must be lit after sundown only, except before Shabbat. The lights may not be used for anything other than display. Candles are placed in the menorah from right to left, but are lit from left to right (the newest candle first, then to the right). Unlike the major Jewish holidays, Chanukah is not considered sacred time and thus has no restrictions on the use of electricity, vehicles, han- dling money, etc. On Friday evening, light the Chanukah candles before lighting Shabbat candles. The Chanukah lights must be sufficient to burn 1 /, hour into Shabbat. • Rituals: A blessing is recited both • Specializing in manual therapy for the spine & extremities. • We promise that your own advanced Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist will personally deliver your care on each and every visit.
