must give thanks that Israel serves as a 
haven for American Jewry should the 
antisemitism we experience continue 
to multiply. We must also participate 
in the strengthening of Israel so that in 
its security it can serve as a purveyor 
of peace, and that in its values it can 
become a light unto the nations.
Third, as we mark this season of 
Chanukah, there is (at least) one 
lesson to learn from the Chanukah 
story. More than 2,000 years ago, the 
Maccabees sought to defend Jewish 
practice against Hellenism, which 
included rededicating the Holy 
Temple of Jerusalem. In the process, 
they also succeeded in restoring 
Jewish pride. Like the Maccabees, 
we must recognize that among the 
greatest sources of Jewish strength 
is our faith. In the face of rising 
antisemitism, we must gather to pray 
in-person at our synagogues and 
temples; at home, we must engage 
fervently in the practice of Jewish 

ritual; and everywhere we must 
immerse our children and ourselves in 
the proliferation of Jewish joy. While 
we kindle our Chanukah lights, we 
must stoke the flames of faith burning 
within each of our souls. 
As we prepare for 2023, we 
are right to learn from Purim to 
build on the friendships made and 
partnerships formed with our non-
Jewish neighbors. From Passover, we 
remember that we Jews must stand up 
for each other and that this mission 
forms the heart of the State of Israel. 
And with Chanukah, we affirm that 
only through faith and passionate 
religious practice do we survive and 
thrive through the generations. 
Antisemitism is the oldest hatred, 
so by utilizing the wisdom of our past, 
we can ensure that the Jewish light 
shines into tomorrow. 

 

Rabbi Aaron Starr is a spiritual leader of 

Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield.

Yiddish Limerick

Chanukah

Mir tzindn di lichtlach yeder nachat
It’s ein, tzvay, dri, until it’s acht.
 
Der draydle goes around

 
Mir zingen, what a sound,
Yetzt ess di latkes ich hob gemacht.

Mir tzindn di lichtlach: we light the candles
yeder nachat: each night
Ein, tzvay, dri: one, two, three
acht: eight
Der draydle: the top
Mir zingen: we sing
Yetzt ess di latkes: now eat the latkes
Ich hob gemacht: that I made.
