Chanukah Legacy by HeBReWReVoLuTioN, literature

Chanukah Legacy

Chanukah is a unique holiday on the Jewish calendar commemorating the liberation of the desecrated Temple in Jerusalem. It is the culmination of years of forced acculturation and assimilation at the hands of the Syrian-Greeks. The occupying Syrians, already absorbed into the Greek culture of the time, were forcing Judeans to live by the culture and habits of Greek life. This included not being allowed to practice Judaism - eerily similar to people who think jettisoning religion or conforming to the dominant religion would make people acceptable in society. The holiday remembers a group of traditionalists who saw their tradition was being

'Chrismukkah' is Bullshit

The combination of these two holidays just cheapens the integrity of both of them, and makes commercializing either much easier. How easily the American media tore the two apart and stuck them together under a "Chrismukkah" label just demonstrates how culture has wrecked the meaning behind both holidays in their respective religions. Coming from a mixed marriage, and understanding the way that the culture has demeaned both traditions, I will elaborate on some of the conflicts that have come up in the last few months and basically past year. I hope to elaborate further on more detailed articles in the future. But, anyway, here we go.

Religious Jews, Do Not Lament

The Disengagement from the Gaza Strip is not a blow as you might think. It is time to look beyond its negative aspects and realize its potential. You do not have to yield your religious beliefs in the wake of this events. Nor need you yield your Zionist spirits. In Zionism there is a durability, a durability that allows the various labor, political, cultural and religious angles of Zionism to mold and influence each other. For in the book of our Exodus from Egypt, even G-d concedes to Moses and the people that "I will drive them out from before you little by little, until you have increased and can occupy the land." The non-Jewish inhab

Hindsight Iraq, Foresight Iran

Two and a half years ago, I watched the Iraq crisis manifest over various media, with debates and protests raging across the country and around the planet. It was an issue which was tough to sort through for most people, considering next to no one has a real understanding of the Middle East or the complexities of the region's divisions. Still a junior in high school, I analyzed the situation myself and took the initiative to send a thick editorial to the Philadelphia Inquirer that told of the strategic mistake of launching a war into Iraq, the unnecessary of such a conflict, the need to focus on other parts of the region to promote change,

After Tisha B'Av, the Next Era of American Judaism

0 min read

Jewish denominations have made virtual sport about what the main objectives of Judaism, the Torah's priorities, really are.  There are intense philosophical disputes that predicate how these different Jews (both old members of the faith and new) learn, practice and apply the Torah.  I feel safe saying the divergence robs Jews of the true richness of Judaism, both its conservative and liberal elements.  But of chief concern at this time of the year is this communal dynamic . . . or lack thereof. Orthodox Judaism tends to emphasize the internal needs of the Jewish people.  Liberal Jews trend toward emphasizing more global issues or ones which
