How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news. (Isaiah 52:7)
ON THE COVER: The American Jewish habit of eating at Chinese restaurants on Christmas is a common stereotype portrayed in film and television but has a factual basis as the tradition may have arisen from the lack of other open restaurants on Christmas Day. The Jewish-American patronage of Chinese restaurants became prominent in the 20th century, especially among Jewish New Yorkers. By the beginning of the 21st century, the custom of eating Chinese food had spread across the country and was considered to be a venerated Jewish tradition, especially dim sum dining for Sunday brunch. This year, join us on December 25, the first night of Chanukah for Dreidels, Drive-In, and Dim Sum.

AFTERNOON/EVENING SERVICES
Every Wednesday and Friday 5:30 p.m.
Each week, we gather to experience traditional daily prayer and establish a quiet space for those mourning a loved one or observing the anniversary of a loss (yahrtzeit). All use these opportunities to recite a communal Mourner’s Kaddish. Both gatherings take place in the Synagogue’s Davis-Goodall Chapel, with full participation available both in-person and through the Synagogue Zoom Room. We ask that in-person attendees register in advance on our website. Friday gatherings always occur in the Synagogue Zoom Room at 918 583 7121.
SHABBAT MORNING SERVICES
Every Saturday 9:30 a.m.
Each week, we convene on Saturday morning to sing the liturgy of the tradition, study the weekly Torah portion, and spend time amongst family and friends. All are welcome to participate in this experience in person or on Zoom. Members and friends can access the Synagogue Zoom Room at 918 583 7121.

Ms. Toni Willis, former B’nai Emunah preschool teacher and current Education Coordinator at the Philbrook Museum of Art, will lead the workshop. Tailored for ShulSchool families (kids two and up!) but open to all, this workshop is the perfect way to start your Chanukah preparations together.

It doesn’t get more traditionally Jewish than that! Watch from the warmth of your car or bring your lawn chair for communal viewing of a kid-friendly movie on the big screen while you enjoy fried rice and eggrolls alongside popcorn and Milkduds. The program will begin promptly at 5:30 pm with a communal candle lighting for the first night of the holiday. Please RSVP on our website so we can plan for your participation.

From Rabbi Daniel S. Kaiman
MORE LIGHT
The Talmud records a famous conflict about Chanukah that is worth our attention. Everyone agrees that we light a special candelabra for this holiday. It has space for nine candles, one for each of the eight nights, and the shamash. But Hillel and Shammai debate how we light the candelabra.
We light these eight candles to remind ourselves of the miracle that a small jar of oil lasted long enough to be replenished. Grounding himself in this logic, Shammai argues that on the first night of Chanukah, we should light all the candles. Then, each subsequent evening, we should
opinion offers a different lens through which to view the world, and both Hillel and Shammai’s perspectives hold enduring value.
At a time when polarization and division seem to be the perpetual norm, we need this lesson. Whether it is conflicting ideas about politics in our families or workplaces or the tensions of a complicated holiday season where Chanukah takes place on Christmas day, we know the strains of navigating conflict alongside firmly held thoughts. Hillel and Shammai’s debate reminds us to preserve these
take a candle away until only a tiny flame remains on the last night of the holiday. In its refusal to be extinguished, we would re-enact a critical point of the story. Limited resources lasted until they were able to be replenished. If we imagine what the menorah must have looked like at the time of the Maccabees, Shammai’s suggestion makes a lot of sense.
But Hillel disagrees. He argues the opposite. He says that on the first night of the holiday, we should light one candle and gradually add a flame each night until the Chanukiah is aglow at the end of the holiday. In that way, we increase in holiness (and light) each night of the holiday, symbolizing the strength, vitality, and power that the candle ritual intones.
We know our ritual practice follows Hillel, and that is precisely what we will do when it comes time to light the Chanukiah at the end of this month. We’ll add a candle each night, bringing light into darkness.
So why does the Talmud record this debate? Why preserve an argument when the conclusion is already clear? The Talmud often records debates not merely to highlight the winning side but to preserve the richness of thought. Each

As we enter a season of political change and religious tensions, let us carry the light of Hillel and Shammai’s debate into our lives. May we embrace the wisdom of disagreement and learn to hold space for multiple truths. Lighting the Chanukiah is not only about commemorating a miracle; it is also about illuminating the diverse perspectives that enrich our community and our world.
Each night of Chanukah, as we add another candle, let us also commit to adding more understanding, compassion, and dialogue into our lives. Let the growing light remind us that unity does not mean uniformity. Just as the menorah shines brighter with each additional flame, our collective wisdom grows when we listen to and learn from one another.
In a world often darkened by discord, may the Chanukah lights inspire us to seek understanding, build bridges, and shine brightly together.

THE CASE FOR CAMP
Jewish summer camp sent me to Tulsa. I know it sounds like a stretch, but my summers working at camp, starting in 2006, laid a yellow brick road to 1719 South Owasso. From counselor to senior counselor, unit head, song leader, and program director, each experience is linked to the next to develop my skills and deepen my passion for working in the Jewish community.
But really, it began before that. In second grade, I begged my parents to let me go to an overnight camp. I watched the camp promotional video and listened to the camp director talk about what the summer had in store, and I was hooked. For almost every summer after that, Jewish summer camp entered my life. It guided my Jewish experiences as a child and directly connected me to my professional endeavors as an
Jewish summer camp ... guided my Jewish experiences as a child and directly connected me to my professional endeavors as an adult.
adult. In 2016, I got a nudge from the director of Ramah in the Rockies about a sweet community in Tulsa looking for its next Education Director, and the rest, as they say, is history. It’s not just me. Research shows that attending a Jewish camp continuously ranks among the top factors in participation in Jewish life among adults. Camp immerses children in a profoundly intentional Jewish community, connects them with other Jewish kids like them, and helps them to see themselves as positive Jewish role models in their counselors. Children learn responsibility, independence, and relationship-building skills, among other vital skills that shape them. Perhaps, most importantly, Jewish summer camp sows deep seeds of Jewish joy! Folks, the recipe works.
It is not too early to think about sending your children to camp this summer. We’re proud to have fostered a relationship with Ramah in the Rockies and believe strongly that our Tulsa kids will have a transformative experience there that will feel comfortably Jewish and, of course, be a total blast. Ramah in the Rockies blends the best parts of Jewish summer camp with the most incredible outdoor adventure experience. Looking for something a little more traditional? We’re happy to connect you with Camp Ramah Darom as well. At The Synagogue, we are serious about our offer of scholarships to Jewish Camp to ensure that there are no barriers to accessing this magical experience. Interested in learning more? Join me, Rabbi Kaiman, and Rabbi Eliav Bock, Director at Camp Ramah in the Rockies, on Monday, December 2 on Zoom. Please get in touch to hold your spot and receive Zoom information.

in the city and finds a wife (Joan Plowright), his ambitious son, Jules (Aidan Quinn), who changes his last name to Kaye, tries to live the American Dream by opening an appliance store. The movie is an extended, touching meditation on cultural and generational gaps.
Our conversation about Avalon will take place on Thursday, December 12 at 7:00 p.m. We’ll think aloud about where this work fits in the canon of Jewish film-making and whether it will stand the test of time. The film can be seen on Amazon Prime for a modest fee on your home screen. Please let us know if you have any difficulty locating the program.
Now in its fifth year, the Blatt+Blue series expresses the Synagogue’s commitment to an inclusive and pluralistic vision. Difficult films deserve a thoughtful conversation. Film and television enthusiasts David Blatt and Alice Blue begin each session with a summary of the featured material, which means that you’ll be able to follow the conversation even if you have to delay your viewing of the material itself. After that, it’s questions and comments from the Zoom Room audience. Join the moderated discussion in the Synagogue Zoom Room. The Zoom meeting ID is 918 583 7121, and the session will conclude at 8:00 p.m. If there is a film or broadcast you would like to screen, please call Richie Bolusky, Synagogue Program Director, at (918) 583-7121 with your suggestions.

From Rabbi Fitzerman
EIGHT NIGHTS FOR ISRAELITES
It’s hard to know about Chanukah in the Old Country, whether it was Poland, Morocco, or any place in between, but the evidence we have points to a “minor” holiday. There was always candlelighting, and something from the kitchen that spoke to the miracle of oil in the Maccabean Temple. But gift-giving and enormous public celebrations, both here and in the Land of Israel? They seem to be creations of the modern world.
That’s not much of a surprise when you stop to think about it. The military victory that led to the cleansing of the conquered Temple dovetailed perfectly with the Israeli national narrative. And the holiday also served a purpose in the Christian West. Chanukah is not the Jewish Christmas (?!), but it serves as an effective counterpoise for a minority community like ours. We need something big and beautiful to avoid being swamped by the big and beautiful celebrations of others.
But it’s also time for meaning and feeling. Here’s an idea file for Eight Chanukah Enrichments that might deepen your experience of the festival. Only have time for four? That’s OK, too.
1 READ THE STORY Sit down at the keyboard and type in Sefaria. At the top of the page that comes up, tap the word Texts. At the bottom of the page that comes up, tap Second Temple . In the second column of the page that comes up, tap Megillat Antiochus and read what you find.

2 BUILD A PLAYLIST. The tedious idea that there is no great Chanukah music is, well, tedious. Sit down at your screen again and punch in “Oh Chanukah” by Jack Black. It’s got some nice, raw charisma and can easily hold its own next to “Jingle Bell Rock.” An alternative is “Hanukkah Blessings” by Barenaked Ladies. It’s a mystery to me why this isn’t already a classic.
FRY LATKES. Don’t be a weenie because “frying latkes is hard.” The Synagogue recipe is now on the Synagogue website at tulsagogue.com. If you’re put off by the smell, fry them outside on the grill. Lay them out in a single layer on sheet pans and freeze them under foil. On the first night of Chanukah, bake them frozen at 400 degrees until they sizzle. They will taste like they have just been fried.
6
LIGHT THE LIGHT OF RENEWED FRIENDSHIP. Call eight people you know who haven’t heard from you in a very long time. Call one each day to say “Happy Chanukah!” Say right at the beginning that you can only stay on the phone for eight minutes. I guarantee you will feel better.
3 SPREAD TOY JOY. If you’ve got a houseful of kids, sweep through the toys that are past their prime and donate all of them. Go to a big box retail store and buy eight new toys. Drop them off at Family and Children’s Services by December 11 at the Lapidus Children’s Center, 650 South Peoria Avenue. It’s the least we can do to honor the brilliant career of Gail Lapidus.
5
WRITE A LETTER TO A PUBLIC OFFICIAL. One of the key themes of the holiday is religious freedom. If any public official has crossed the line on the separation between church and state, write a pointed letter. I can think of at least one Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction who needs to hear from us.
7 GO BIG OR GO HOME. The deal with Chanukah is that we are supposed to make our joy public in a big display of confidence and pride. We’ll be doing all of that at the Synagogue, but make sure to do it at home. The window facing the street at your house should clearly signal that there are Chanukah Jews inside. Put any hesitation aside and light your menorah in a public way.
8 NAIL THE GREETINGS ISSUE. If you know someone who celebrates Christmas, say “Merry Christmas.” It’s like saying “Happy Birthday” to someone who is celebrating her own birthday. If someone wishes you “Merry Christmas,” say “Thank you so much. I’m actually a Chanukah person, but Merry Christmas to you!” This is a corollary of “Go Big or Go Home.” Push your love of Chanukah into the public sphere.
