Chanukah Safety from West Side Hatzoloh

Dear Neighbor,

Here are some quick reminders to keep you and your family safe over Chanukah!

Lighting the Menorah:

  • Never leave Chanukah candles unattended!
  • Place the Menorah on a sturdy heat resistant surface away from anything that can catch fire including walls, curtains, cabinets, wooden and plastic tables, tablecloths, etc.
  • Light candles where they can’t be reached by children and where they won’t be knocked over
  • Keep surfaces and surrounding areas clear from burned matches, wick trimmings, oil residue, and other debris
  • Do not light “school project” Menorahs made from materials that can burn (wood, plastic, etc.)

Cooking Latkes:

  • Keep small children away from hot oil and cooking areas
  • Keep hands, hair and sleeves away from open flame
  • Use extra caution when carrying hot food around children
  • Designate ovens, stoves, and heat containing appliances as a “NO GO ZONE” for children
  • Never put water on a grease fire, use a fire extinguisher and call the Fire Department

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy Chanukah!

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

Where do we find a certain depth of meaning in our lives? Most of the time,  we find it in the concrete experiences and possibilities of our daily lives. But, sometimes, for a moment, we aspire to dream big dreams--to dare, if just for an instant, to do something exceptional. However, as we act, we need to pay careful attention to the why of our imagined "great" possibilityIf we seek to do something extraordinary out of our of own vanity-because it is we who will be great--then we are actually contracting our focus. lessening who we are. But if we seek what is substantial  for others, or significant for "all of us", then, if only for a moment,  we are indeed changing the world-- making a kind of mini-renewal of creation.  
 
[Occasioned by Genesis [Bereishit 37:2ff])
 
May you and yours have a time of joy and light, freedom and rededication to all that you hold dear
