The Unique Joy of Chanukah
By Neima Rovner ('26)
ith Chanukah right around the corner, preparations have already begun, whether that’s making donuts, buying gelt, or practicing spinning dreidels. Throughout the eight days of Chanukah, we commemorate the story of the Chashmonaim and their rebellion against their Hellenistic overlords. During the times of the second Beit Hamikdash, the Greeks conquered Judea and attempted to Hellenize the Jews. They forbade them from doing Mitzvot or learning Torah, brought idols and pigs into the Beit Hamikdash, and left a path of destruction in their wake. A group of Jews called the Chashmonaim, led by Matityahu and his son Yehuda, refused to abandon their faith. Despite their few numbers, they fought against the Greek’s mighty army and miraculously won. The next daunting task was to rededicate the Beit Hamikdash. To do this, the Chashmonaim needed to get rid of the idols and pigs and sift through the rubble to find a sealed jug of pure olive oil. Miraculously, they found enough oil
to burn for one day, although it would take eight days to produce more oil. The Chashmonaim lit the Menorah with the drop of oil and set out to make more. However, they were astounded to see that the tiny drop of oil lasted them all eight days. On Chanukah, we remember these two miracles: the small defeating the many and the tiny bit of oil lasting eight Chanukah is a unique holiday for many reasons. The holiday lasts eight days in both Israel and outside of Israel. We have Mitzvot such as lighting candles every night and eating fried food, due to the miracle of the oil lasting. However, one Mitzvah is conspicuously absent from Chanukah. On any given holiday, be it from the Torah or the Rabbis, there is a Mitzvah to have a feast. On Purim we have this as well as on any Yom Tov. Except on Chanukah no such Mitzvah is readily found. Does this Mitzvah exist? If not, how come?

The Mitzvah to have a meal is usually in conjunction with simcha, happiness. This begs another question: Is there no Mitzvah of simcha on Chanukah, one of simcha but not of feasting, or neither?
This topic is the basis of a huge debate amongst various Rishonim and Achronim, who base their ideas off of distinct Gemaras. The Rambam, a major Sefardi posek, seems to hold that there is an obligation of simcha, but not feasting. Other commentators say that one can only achieve simcha through feasting, so the Rambam must hold both. Among the Rishonim who say that there is an obligation for both simcha and feasting are Tosafos and the Raavah. The Maharam Rotenberg, an Ashkenazi posek, is of the view that neither simcha nor feasting is a Mitzvah on Chanukah.
obligatory. However, the Rema continues and says that one can still make any meal on Chanukah a Seudas Mitzvah by praising Hashem and sharing words of Torah. According to this view, it seems that it is optional for us to have a meal on Chanukah, but if we do, we can elevate our meal to a higher level. Nowadays, many people have the custom to have Chanukah parties, which often contain a meal. Many Chassidim would have such a meal every night of Chanukah, while others will have a slightly bigger feast on Rosh Chodesh Tevet (which falls on Chanukah) or Shabbos Chanukah. Ultimately, in the case of Chanukah, it is up to each individual whether or not they wish to have a feast.
them not to, and so Haman sought to wipe them off the face of the Earth. However, in the Chanukah story, the sin was that they were lax in their Avodah in the Beit Hamikdash, which is considered spiritual, and the Greeks wanted to destroy their Judaism, not them. Their bodies were safe, their relationship with Hashem was in dire danger. Therefore, celebrating the miracle of Purim is done through physical means, namely feasting and other ways of physically bringing about joy, while Chanukah is celebrated through spiritual means, namely praising Hashem and telling the story of the miracle.
Additionally, a major part of the miracle of Purim occurred in events surrounding a meal. Instead of going up to Achashveirosh and revealing Haman’s wicked plan, Esther invited Achashveirosh and Haman to a feast. Only there, in an environment where the king was vulnerable, did Esther reveal the plan. So, on Purim we have a commandment to have a feast as a way to commemorate this aspect of the miracle. Meanwhile, on Chanukah, the story unfolded on the battlefield, not at a party. There was nothing to commemorate through a meal, so less of a reason to be commanded in one.
The Shulchan Aruch and Rema, the poskim for Sefardic and Ashkenazic Jewry, respectively, hold that any feast on Chanukah is non-
Purim is another holiday from the Rabbis with its own special Mitzvot. However, on that holiday there is a clear Mitzvah of feasting. There are many proposed differences between the two. With the Purim story, both the sin and the threat were physical. The Jews partook in Achashveirosh’s feast, despite Mordechai warning
On Chanukah as on any other holiday, we commemorate the miracles with which Hashem has protected us since Creation. However, on Chanukah, unlike on any other holiday, our commandments (though not necessarily our customs) revolve around spiritual commemoration, as opposed to physical.

Changing Your Perspective
AA estimates that around 150 million Americans will travel during the last week of December—nearly three times more than the number who traveled over Thanksgiving. Many will travel across the country to spend the holidays with their loved ones, and while these gatherings are full of joy and reconnection, they can also be fraught with challenges. In fact, studies suggest that three-quarters of us have at least one family member who irritates us.
This tension is mirrored in this week’s parsha, where we read about Yosef being sent to find his brothers. Upon finding them, his brothers throw him into a pit, intending to let him die. Later, they sell him into slavery and deceive their father into believing he was killed by a wild animal. The story opens with the verse,
same package. Irritated but unwilling to confront him, she continues to eat, growing angrier each time he helps himself. Finally, when there’s one cookie left, he breaks it in half and offers her a piece. Furious, she’s relieved when he leaves for another gate.
translating to, “His brothers saw him from afar, and before he came close to them, they conspired to kill him" (Bereishis 37:18). The Pasuk seems so simple, Yosef’s brothers saw him walking and devised a plan to kill him.
Before we unpack this pasuk further, a modern story about assumptions helps bring the lesson of this Pasuk to life.
A woman in an airport buys a book and a package of cookies before her flight. She places them in her bag and sits down next to another passenger. After dozing off briefly, she opens her book and reaches for a cookie, noticing that the man beside her is also taking cookies from the
Later, as she boards her flight and opens her bag, she finds her unopened package of cookies. She realizes, to her horror, that she had been eating the man’s cookies all along. Not only was he not a thief, but he had graciously shared his last cookie with her, despite her mistake.
Returning to the Pasuk, the phrase "from afar" sparks different interpretations.
For some, like Ramban, the phrase “from afar” teaches us that the brothers had been trying for a while to kill Yosef. They were so annoyed by Yosef’s special treatment from their father, and Yosef’s dreams of superiority that they already had tried killing him from a distance. When those efforts failed, they resorted to tossing him in the pit. The phrase "from afar" suggests that the brothers had been plotting against Joseph for some time before taking any physical action. It emphasizes their deepseated jealousy and hatred, which led
them to think about killing him, and ultimately culminated in throwing him into the pit.
However others, like Sforno, suggest that "to kill him" doesn't mean the brothers were trying to harm Yosef, but rather that Yosef's actions, especially his dreams of being superior to his brothers, made them feel threatened. According to Sforno, the brothers saw Yosef's behavior as dangerous and felt that he was plotting against them. So, instead of the brothers trying to kill Yosef, Sforno sees it as Yosef’s actions creating a dangerous situation. The way we understand the story changes depending on whether we follow Ramban’s or Sforno’s explanation.
The same is true in our own lives. We often view situations with absolute certainty, convinced we know the truth. But like the woman with the cookies, our assumptions can be completely wrong. Imagine how that man must have seen the situation— sharing his cookies with someone who was unknowingly taking them.
As we prepare to gather with our family and friends to spend Chanukah together, it’s worth pausing before jumping to conclusions about others’ intentions. Taking a moment to breathe and consider alternative perspectives can help us approach situations with more kindness and understanding.
This is no easy task. It requires humility, open-mindedness, and a willingness to question our own assumptions. But in doing so, we create space for growth and empathy. If we cling too tightly to our initial perceptions, we miss opportunities to learn and connect. As we navigate these emotionally charged days, may we find the strength to soften our hearts, quiet our judgments, and truly listen to the perspectives of those around us.

hanukah is an exciting time for the Jewish people, especially the kids, because it is not only a chance to celebrate a fun holiday with your friends and family, but receive gifts as well. Many families hold two different customs regarding gift giving and it has become a debate on whether or not to have one big gift for the whole holiday or a small gift for each individual night. Although each side has its benefits, having one big gift represents the idea of quality over quantity, it saves time, and brings a lot more suspense and excitement to the holiday.
When it comes to gifts, less is definitely more. Instead of having many small and mediocre gifts, receiving one large gift that will last longer is far more exciting. While these smaller gifts are enjoyable,without spending a large amount it will result in fleeting gifts of lesser quality . On the other hand, people also celebrate by giving children one big gift either at the end or beginning of the eight days. While they not only receive a larger gift that will last a long time, it also could be something that they have been wanting for a long time and are now finally able to receive. One would
much rather have one big gift that’s good quality and something they really wanted, rather than a bunch of small gifts that are junky and will probably never be touched again.
Another
benefit to having one big gift rather than a small gift per night is that the gift picking process becomes exponentially easier for parents. Not only do parents spend less time deciding on one gift, but they can also buy something nicer that they are sure their child will enjoy long-term. Although some
expensive gifts, the overall quality of the gifts is much more worthwhile. Excitement is also an important factor in gift giving. Take Birthday Parties as an example: Kids are a lot more excited about that one big gift they’ve been hoping for from their parents or grandparents than the smaller trinkets from distant relatives and family friends. This applies to Chanukah as well. Building up the anticipation of something big on the rise helps make Chanukah a more exciting time, increasing the joy
Giant Gift vs
exciting, it’s reason why one big gift night is that meaningful encourages
thought and effort behind it. Instead of they learn to cherish the one special gift
gratitude. Additionally, the anticipation of waiting for a big gift helps instill patience, which is an important life skill. This makes the experience of giftgiving not just about material items but about building character and meaningful holiday traditions.
In conclusion, rather than celebrating Chanukah with one small gift per night, having one big gift saves money, goes along with the idea of quality over quantity, and adds more excitement to the holiday. Through these different reasons, it can be seen how one big gift will enhance your holiday experience. With Chanukah approaching, I hope you make the right decision to give one big gift. And when you’re buying gifts for your family, always remember: bigger is better!

Small Surprises Debate
By Adina Schwartzberg (’28)
here are eight nights of Chanukah every year, and naturally, each of those days come with a new anticipation: what gift will I get tonight? I think that one of the most exciting activities of this midwinter holiday is the presents. So think about it, how do you keep the excitement going over all eight days if you only get one gift? What if instead each night had a gift of its own? Picture lighting the candles with your family, gathering together to open the present of the night, and perpetuating the holiday’s excitement. Each night, you get a different gift that was chosen and wrapped with thought and love from one of your closest family or friends. Giving a different gift each night is also a way to show how much you know about a person, to be able to even get more than one gift if you can’t decide between two items. Or think about it the other way around: What if the gift that you get on one night is something you don’t like, or you don’t need. It is possible that it could feel like a wasted gift. But, if you get another gift the next night, and the next night then chances are you will end up with at least one gift that you end up really valuing. If we have the custom to give gifts on Chanukah, then isn’t it obvious that we should follow that custom on not one but ALL the nights that it applies?
One of the key aspects of Chanukah is the celebrations of the miracles from Hashem that happened in the Jewish people’s pasts. The way we can feel connected to this is by keeping the atmosphere of joy flowing through our houses. By receiving a gift every night,
or how big your gift is. However, when we get smaller gifts, we can focus on the smaller things and on what really matters.
Another connection to giving a gift a night to the other actions on Chanukah is lighting the candles. When we light the Menorah each night, we add a new candle every night we light. Similarly, it just makes sense that we should add a new gift each night just like the candles. Also, by keeping the gifts smaller, we are able to keep our focus on the miracles of the holiday but make sure that no one is missing out. A small gift and a big celebration each night, there's no better combination.
from its actual connection to the Chanukah story. The oil from the Menorah, which was only meant to last one day, miraculously lasted eight, which then also extended the miracle. So too, we receive small gifts each night, building up our version of the miracle. When we get one gift per night, it helps us recognize each small thing and gift instead of lumping all the gifts together into one. When we get one large gift, it is possible to get caught up in how much you have,
One more reason to embrace the idea of giving a gift each night of Chanukah is the way it strengthens relationships. Each night becomes an opportunity to show thoughtfulness and love through the act of giving. By spreading the gifts across eight nights, you have eight chances to make someone feel seen and appreciated. This all just proves how much better it is to stick with the custom of giving and getting a smaller gift every night of Chanukah. Let's keep the Chaunkah spirit alive this year by gifting your family and friends a small gift each night, and see the results. I think everyone will find how much more their festivities continue each night and bring even more joy.

Interviewing a (Lady) Maccabee
the spirit
What’s your favorite Chanukah food?
My favorite Chanukah food are donuts because they are a happy food. This is because when you're having a bad day and you eat a donut, you are automatically happy. I don't have a favorite filling, but I really like chocolate.
What's your favorite pre-game snack?
I eat bananas for my pre-game snack because the potassium helps my legs not cramp up.
Do you like our mascot the Maccabees? Why or why not?
I don't like our mascot because it's more the boys mascot and we are just piggybacking off of it. It was originally the boys mascot and then we just went with it so it feels like we are just copying them.
Do you think our team could recreate a Maccabeats music video?
Yes, I think we could the Maccabeats music video, “The Latke Recipe,” because our team is very experienced in cooking, especially on the court.
What Maccabeats song do you think represents our team?
I think “All About That Neis” represents our team because we rely on Hashem on and off the court.

Let's Talk Tradition
By Sara Klein
Giving Chanukah Gelt
You might be thinking that I was referring to the sweet chocolate gelt we give kids to munch on on Chanukah. But I’m actually talking about money, the real deal, the kind that jingles! Giving Chanukah gelt (money) to your children, not only makes them happy but also teaches them about giving Tzedakah. Besides the fact that it adds to the festivity and fun of Chanukah, what’s the real reason behind giving Chanukah gelt? While there are a few, one reason is because in the time of Chanukah, the Greeks tried to force their religion on the Jews and banned Torah learning. After the Greeks were defeated, the Jews had to be re-educated about Torah and Mitzvot. To get the children excited about learning Torah, they would be given gelt as a reward. Therefore, during Chanukah, it is appropriate that children receive Chanukah gelt. While it might just be another form of a present, Chanukah gelt can remind us of the Jews’ ability to bring Torah back into their lives after it was taken from them.
The Women’s Break
In contrast to Shabbat candles, which are to add light to the house, the Chanukah candles are only to remind us of the miracles Hashem did for us. In order for this special purpose of the candles to be noticeable, we don’t use the light for anything else. Women don’t work during this time as a precaution in case the lights go out and they would be working by and using the light of the Chanukah candles alone. Women also have a special affinity to the Chanukah lights as the miracle of our victory was because of Yehudis, the daughter of Yochanan, the Kohen Gadol, and sister of Matisyahu, father of the Maccabees. By killing the Greek general, Yehudis led the way to the defeat of the Greeks. For this reason, women of the ages have sought to honor the Chanukah lights in the greatest way possible by not working while the candles burn.
Chanukiot on Display
If you’ve ever been to Israel on Chanukah, you may have noticed that many of their Chanukiot are put outside their homes in protective glass boxes. When it comes to publicizing the miracle, this tradition attracts far more attention than lighting the candles inside! Where does this custom come from and why don’t we do it to that extent in the rest of the world? The Talmud says “The light of Chanukah; its mitzvah is to [light] it at the doorway, outside the house… In times of danger place it upon the table and that is sufficient.” Putting your Chanukiah outside is the best way possible to do the Mitzvah and most people follow this Talmudic ruling in Israel. The reason we don’t have this tradition in the Diaspora is because historically and even today, the antisemitism of many places could cause danger to those who put their Chanukiah outside. We therefore, fulfill the Mitzvah a bit more privately inside our homes without publicly exhibiting the lights.
The Symbolism of the Dreidel
We all know about the tradition of playing with dreidels on Chanukah, and most even know the reasoning of why. However, besides the popular stories of dreidels saving the Jews when they learned Torah in hiding, there is a deeper meaning behind the dreidel. The letters on the dreidel are not only an acronym for “Nes Gadol Haya Sham” - “A great miracle happened there,” but also for the nations that have tried and failed to annihilate us. The “Nun” is for Nevuchadnezzar and the Babylonians who destroyed the first Beit Hamikdash and sent us into the Babylonian Exile. “Gimmel” is for Gog, or Greece, who tried to destroy us on Chanukah. “Hay” is for Haman, who tried to kill the Jews in the story of Purim. Lastly, “Shin” is for Seir, another name for Eisav, and refers to the Romans who destroyed the second Beit Hamikdash and began the second exile. We can see from this that the dreidel symbolizes not only the miracles of Chanukah, but also our resilience throughout history.

Goldie's Guidance
Dear Goldie, I’m so glad it's almost winter break. These first two quarters have been exhausting and I’m really looking forward to some much needed relaxation. Well, I was, but according to our teachers, you can’t have a good winter break without endless hours for studying for midterms. I’m a pretty good student, Goldie, so my once precious free time is now going to be taken up by preparation for NINE midterms. Not just that, but I have multiple assignments from each class too! Don’t they realize I need a break?! My friends are telling me to just skip the studying and enjoy my vacation but I don’t know if it’s worth the bad grade. Please tell me what to do, Goldie. Love,
Exhaused_Elisheva092
Dear Exhaused_Elisheva092, I must tell you, back in my day, we didn’t even know what a “vacation” was. Life itself was the school, and every single day was an exam. We worked from sunrise to sunset, tending to fields, cooking meals, and still found time to recite lessons by candlelight. Rest? A full night of sleep? Luxuries! If we got six hours, we counted ourselves blessed. Now, I hear you when you say you're overwhelmed. Nine midterms and assignments? That’s enough to rattle anyone, even a sprightly young thing like yourself. But here’s the secret: balance. You don’t need to bury yourself in books the entire break, nor should you cast them aside completely. Pick just one hour a day, or maybe two if you’re feeling ambitious, and dedicate that time to studying. And as for your friends telling you to skip studying altogether? Tell them Goldie said that’s nonsense. Don’t throw your grades away just to lounge around. But also, don’t work yourself to the bone either. Life is about balance, sweetie. You can study and enjoy your break—it’s not rocket science. Oh, and before I forget: quit complaining. Nine midterms is a walk in the park compared to raising a family of seven in a two-room house with a leaky roof. If I survived that, you’ll survive this.
