(Phoenix/Neuberger Photo)Chanukah Services Set In Downtown AreaThe word Chanukah means %u201cdedication,%u201d and refers to the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after a miraculous victory against the Greek empire that was forcing its pagan ways upon the Jews over 2,000 years ago. Chanukah, like Christmas and other celebrations around the world, is a festival of lights. The Jewish festival, explains Rabbi Gerald Weider of Congregation Beth Elohim, %u201ccelebrates religious freedom and the struggle to be dedicated to faith.The lights remind us of this tradition from generation to generation.%u201dArea synagogues will rededicate the faith with Chanukah services, candlelightings, concerts and other festive events.BROOKLYN H EIG HTS SYNAGOGUE:Chanukah service and music, Dec. 26, 6:30pm.Chanukah service, Jan. 2, 6:30pm. 117 RemsenSt. 522-2070.CONGREGATION BETH ELOHIM:Candlelight service with Oneg Shabbat,latkes, folk dancing with Carl Finger, Dec. 26,8:15pm.
