1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I
have a special guest this
morning. Joining me on the phone
is Mary Norman, activist and
producer/host of the radio show,
Voice for Social Justice. We are
gong to be in conversation about
two of the most revered women in
Christianity, Mary mother of
Jesus and Mary Magdalene,
disciple of Jesus. I am excited
about this show and the goal is
to get some clarity on who these
women are and how they have had
an impact on women and religion.
Hanukkah
Originally, the eight-day holiday was intended to parallel the eight-day festival of Sukkot. The books of the Maccabees made no mention of the legend concerning a small jar of oil that unexpectedly lasted for eight days. Only centuries after the Maccabees’ defeat of the Syrians did the story of the jar of oil – which has come to be associated with Hanukkah – appear in the Talmud. According to the legend, when the Maccabees entered the Temple and began to reclaim it from the Greeks, they immediately relit the ner tamid, which burned constantly in the Temple and has a parallel in our synagogues to this day. In the Temple, they found a single jar of oil, which was sufficient for only one day. The messenger who was sent to secure additional oil took eight days to complete his mission, and miraculously, the single jar of oil continued to burn until his return. The rabbis of the Talmud attributed the eight days of Hanukkah to the miracle of this single jar of oil. MODERN OBSERVANCE Although the practice of lighting the menorah (also called a hanukkiyah) was common throughout much of the 19th century, North American Jews tended to neglect most of the other traditions and practices associated with the holiday. By the 1920s, however, Jews increasingly added gift-giving to their Hanukkah celebrations, prompting some people to refer to Hanukkah as the "Jewish Christmas."

Guest Mary Norman shares her knowledge of and devotion to Mary the mother of Jesus, who persuaded Jesus to perform his first miracle at the marriage feast at Cana, and Mary Magdalene, whom Jesus drove out 7 demons and who would become his most devoted and intimate disciple. She feels that interest in these two Mary’s is a sign of the restoration of the divine feminine to connect the Divine with Earth, but not through dominance but cooperation, as Riane Eisler called for in her book The Chalice and the Blade. Mary, influenced by her study of Theology of Liberation, believes the divine feminine births Justice, and God is Justice in the Christian story.

Herstory Events: December 20, 1954 – Sandra Cisneros, American Latina writer best known for her acclaimed first novel The House on Mango Street.
The House on Mango Street is
considered a modern classic
of Chicano literature and
has been the subject of
numerous academic
publications in Chicano
Studies and feminist theory.
The book has sold more than
6 million copies, has been
translated into over 20
languages and is required
reading in many schools and
universities across the
United States. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list and is the recipient of several major literary awards, including the American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. It was adapted into a stage play by Tanya Saracho, which was staged in Chicago in 2009.[1] Because the novel deals with sensitive subject matters, such as domestic violence, puberty, sexual harassment, and racism, it has faced challenges and threats of censorship. In spite of this, it remains an influential coming-of-age novel and is a staple piece of literature for many young adults. Source: See Wikipedia site for footnotes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_on_Mango_Street Herstory Birthdays: December 19, 1919 (2007) – Sally Ann Lilienthal, founder of Ploughshares in 1981 which gave fifty million dollars in grants to promote peace, reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons.
Ploughshares Fund is a
public grantmaking
foundation that supports
initiatives to prevent the
spread and use of nuclear
weapons, and to prevent
conflicts that could lead to
their use.[1] Ploughshares
Fund is a 501(c)(3)
foundation that pools
contributions from
individuals, families and
foundations.[2] Ploughshares
Fund enables individual
contributors to pool
resources and provide
support for initiatives[3]
to prevent the spread and
use of nuclear weapons. With
over $100 million awarded in
grants since its founding in
1981, Ploughshares Fund is
the largest US philanthropic
foundation focused
exclusively on nuclear
weapons.[4]
