Chevrei Tikva

The Cleveland Religious and Social Onanization for Gay and Lesbian Jews

This space has been donated to Chevrei Tikva by the Chronicle, and does not necessarily reflect the views of the Chronicle staff or management.

About 2,000 years age the Jews lived in the land we now call Israel. However, the

land was ruled by the Syrians and King Antiochus (also called The Madman). He tried to force the Jews to live under the Syrian gods which, at the time, were the Greek gods.

wonder if Miracles in Tremont knew that when they named their restaurant and featured latkes. I wonder if they even know that is the real name of their famous entree.)

This year Hanukka begins on Sunday evening, December 1. Chevrei Tikva will celebrate it following Shabbat services on Friday, December 6 at 8:30. A dessert potluck and, of course, latkes will follow. Call 932-5551 for more details.▼

The supposed reason for this dish is that the Macabees arrived at a town, did not have time for a full meal, therefore the townspeople gave them latkes which were quick and filling.

This whole holiday is one of miracles; the Jews winning over the more powerful Syrians; the oil for one might lasting eight. (I
