Passover Seder: Materials for the Passover Seder are shown to four beginning students in the Hebrew school of Beth Israel Community Center by Rabbi Julius Weinberg, spiritual leader of the center. Materials for the home observance are the candelabra, used for every holiday; a cup for Elijah, who is to herald the coming of the Messianic age and signifies future redemption; the matzah cover, which contains three matsoth (unleavened bread) for the meal; the Passover plate, which reposes before the head of the household and contains items used for the Seder, and the Haggadah, a collection of narratives, poems and blessings. During the ceremony, the door is thrown open in the symbolic hope that Elijah will appear. The children are (left to right) Gail Fine, Paul Berlin, Linda Gallatin and Jonathan Veniar, who will be among those to enjoy Passover games.

Jewish Chanukkah Begins First Candle For Chanukkah: Beginning of Chanukkah tonight is marked by the lighting of the first candle by Rabbi Julius Weinberg, spiritual leader of Beth Israel Community Center. Participating in the ceremony are four first grade students in the Center's Hebrew School, held twice weekly. They are (left to right) Michael Pear, Laurie Kroll, Larry Halman and Mark Mayerstein. Chanukkah, or dedication, commemorates the rescue of their faith by the Jewish people in 165 B.C., when they defeated a Syrian king who had ordered the worship of idols. Led by Judah the Maccabee, they drove the Syrians from the temple of Jerusalem, rededicating it with undefiled oil sufficient to burn one day. The oil burned for eight days, and to commemorate the miracle an additional candle is lit each evening during Chanukkah until eight are burning. The candle symbolize the miracle of the survival of the Jewish people.
