Website brings
community service

WASHINGTON — Fulfilling community
service hours can sometimes be
drudgery for students who must
complete the requirement before
graduating from high school. Edan
Evenhaim, 17, and his best friend and
classmate, Noah Emanuel, wanted to
make community service both
accessible and fun for their peers — so
they started a website. “Myself and my

ANGELES — What
can a buck get you on Chanukah? Maybe
a gold mesh bag of chocolate coins or a
lighter for your menorah. But Jewish
continuity? At Chanukah time, when we
get so wrapped up in gift giving, I propose
that it’s a single dollar of gelt (Yiddish for
money) that has the power to keep on
giving beyond eight nights. Chanukah gelt
referred originally in Europe and later
America to coins given as gifts to children
and adults. Today, gelt brings...

Chanukah is not a ‘minor’
holiday
In the context of the winter season, or of
the “December dilemma,” Jews often say
that Chanukah is a “minor” holiday.
Apparently, the characterization is meant
to stand in contrast to the “major” holiday
of Christmas. Chanukah marks the
triumph of loyal Jews over those who
assimilated into ancient Greek culture.
What’s minor about that? Chanukah
marks the miraculous continuation of the
service in the ancient Holy Temple in
Jerusalem — the discovery of one day’s
worth of ritua...
