Every year, my kids and I watch this wonderful video telling the story of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. I'm so glad Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream came true!

Hanukkah poem 2011 by Russ ירחמיאל
Hanukkah poem 2011 by Russ ירחמיאל
Twas the night before Hanukkah and we were prepared, with candles for lighting, singing, and prayers.
The menorah was placed on the table with care, a sign that the Festival of Lights was quite near.
My Zadie was dancing the Horah with glee and Bubbie fried Latkes especially for me.
The Dreidel was spinning again and again to see the letters nun, gimmel, hay, and shin.
When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter, Oy vey, someone must have dropped the gefilte fish platter.
We laughed and we sang and we ate for 8 nights.
Happy Hanukkah to all and L’Chaim to Life.

Thoughts From a Local Rabbi
"Do all my Christian FB friends realize that if Judah Maccabee and his family had not defeated the Syrian Greeks in 165 BCE, that there wouldn't BE a Judaism or a Christianity or an Islam?
This same battle for religious freedom, is still going on today, unfortunately. It's tough to live as a minority in a country which begins celebrating Christmas earlier and earlier every year. And, it is so tiring to be told that "unless you believe x,y and z, you're just going to Hell, and that's the end of it."
How sad, how arrogant and how unnecessary. What do you think God thinks of all this? God, who created each and every one of us in the Holy Image. Remember, Adam and Eve weren't Jewish or Christian ir Muslim or Buddhists, they were just Adam and Eve. If it was good enough for God, it should be good enough for us.
If you're Jewish, Happy Hanukkah.
If you're Christian, Merry Christmas ( I LOVE Christmas music and lights!).
May the coming secular year 2012 be blessed with shalom, God knows how much we need it!"

Why Did G-d Not Want Us To Receive Scholarship Ice?
This is funny, but before Annabelle and Joel competed this past week, I closed my eyes and did a silent prayer asking G-d to grant scholarship ice time to the kids if they placed in the top six. I even said the Shema. I thought, "Why not?"
They were in 4th a long time and near the end, were in 5th. When we were down to the last skater, they kids were still in 6th. The competition was so close, but they finished less than a point in 7th. I said a prayer again as it got down to the wire.
In order to receive scholarship ice, they had to finish in 6th.
Why didn't G-d want us to receive scholarship ice? Is the answer to that question, God just wants us to fork out $300 a week for ice time?
