The day after Chanukah, a man runs into the doctor’s office with a latke stuck in one ear, chocolate gelt in the other, and a jelly donut up his nose. He yells, “Doc, help! What’s wrong with me?” The doctor replies, “Well, now the holiday is over, you need to start eating right.”

A Prayer for the Secular New Year
By Paul Kipnes

Source of beginnings,
We stand at the threshold of time,
Toes touching the tides of tomorrow.
Teach us to treasure time:
To taste the sweetness of its swift seconds,
To seek truth amidst its trials,
To trust in Your embrace when the days feel dim.

#OnThisDay, 27 Dec 1935, Regina Jonas was ordained as a rabbi in Berlin, the first known ordination of a woman.

After her arrest in 1942, she ministered in a ghetto until she was transported to Auschwitz in 1944. She was probably killed on arrival.
