Chanukah! Salon (Edited Transcript)

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: We are a bit late, so let us get started.

Yenta Bernheim and Walter Schoggenstein are also the Duchess and Duke of Caledon Ahavah, in the south of that land. They have been known since their arrival for their charity and generosity, which reflects their behaviours in their First Lives as well.

They have become known for their beautiful ballroom and the dances held there. As they are also devout in their faith, they were the perfect presenters to explain to us something about the Jewish Festival of Lights, Chanukah, one of many seasonal celebrations in the wintertime.

One last note - the Duchess and Duke will be donating their tips to fundraising against Pancreatic Cancer.

Duchess Yenta, thank you and His Grace for this presentation.


Yenta Bernheim: Shalom my friends, and in light of the seasons her upon us all ...no matter your culture of Faith Mazel Tov.

Walter and I first wish to thank for your invitation. We love Community and consider all our Friends. And just so you are aware Walter isn't allowed to speak.

Walter Schnogginstein coughs.

Yenta Bernheim: Mostly because he can't get a word in. I am chatty.

Let me begin.

The topic we have chosen is Chanukah, The Festival of Lights.

More than twenty-one centuries ago, the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks), who sought to forcefully Hellenize the people of Israel. Against all odds, a small band of faithful Jews defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G-d.

When they sought to light the Temple's menorah (the seven branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks; miraculously, the one-day supply burned for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity.

To commemorate and publicize these miracles, the sages instituted the festival of Chanukah. At the heart of the festival is the nightly menorah (candelabrum) lighting: a single flame on the first night, two on the second evening, and so on till the eighth night of Chanukah, when all eight lights are kindled.

On Chanukah we also add the Hallel and Al HaNissim in our daily prayers to offer praise and thanksgiving to G-d for "delivering the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of the few... the wicked into the hands of the righteous."

Chanukah customs include eating foods fried in oil -- latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiot (doughnuts); playing with the dreidel (a spinning top on which are inscribed the Hebrew letters nun, gimmel, hei and shin, an acronym for Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, "a great miracle happened there"); and the giving of Chanukah gelt, gifts of money, to children.

All over the world, no matter where, the Chanukah table is basically the same. Fried foods are the main staple, like Latkas with Sour Cream and Apple sauce ...lots of chives and onion. I meant to add recipes from my family in your gifts I will be giving out later. But if you im me after (please not now) I'll send.

I gave you the History for the people but I would like to share a personal side. When I was a little girl especially, this was a time for Family ...so many Jews were lost in the Holocaust (over 6 million). So, for Jews making family multiply is important. Family is not just those born to us; it's community, too.

The lesson learned with the war with the Maccabees and Greeks centered around persecution for who you are. In light of that message we are all Jews. We live in such good times ...the Miracle of the lights is needed as much now as then. Diversity and Tolerance. Be who you are and be proud.

My family would sit on the first night. The matriarch would like the first candle, and I had my little menorah, and I would light mine. After the blessing, we would share bread....Challah, and then we basically made feast.

I will share with you now the prayers of the lighting. Before kindling the Chanukah lights on the first night of Chanukah, Tuesday, December 20, 2011, (or if you're kindling the Chanukah lights for the first time this year) recite all three blessings. On every subsequent night only the first two are recited.

Recited only on the first night (or the first time lighting this Chanukah):
1. Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech ha-olam a-sher ki-de-sha-nu be-mitz-vo-tav ve-tzi-va-nu le-had-lik ner Cha-nu-kah.
Translation:
1. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light.

The second blessing :
2. Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-a-sa ni-sim la-avo-te-nu ba-ya-mim ha-hem bi-zman ha-zeh.
2. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days, at this time.

The 3rd :
3. Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-heche-ya-nu ve-ki-yi-ma-nu ve-higi-a-nu liz-man ha-zeh.
3. Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.

The Candles are lit from the Right to the Left. You always use the center candle to light, never one of the 8. We do this to remember the Miracle and to remember to accept one another without prejudice.

Shalom to you all From Walter and I. Please come visit our Synagogue in Caledon Ahavah. There is also a Memorial there built by our very own Dimmie and Lady Sol, because we have to remember those not here with us any longer. Because we are all Metaphysically bound to one another no matter our Faith. Shalom and Mazel Tov many thanks for inviting us to share. I will attempt to answer questions.

Walter Schnogginstein: My duchess, perhaps you'd like to cycle through the slide show. I haven't advanced any of the slides. I will advance them now, and you can explain each of them.

Solace Fairlady raises hand for a question

Bodhisatva Paperclip: Does the word Chanukah derive from other words?

Yenta Bernheim: Yes Solace?

Solace Fairlady: I am so sorry Dame Yenta, but you say 8 candles, for the 8 days, but I only see 7 on the menorah?

Yenta Bernheim: Chanukah is derived from the hebrew word to "dedicate"

Bodhisatva Paperclip: Ah! I see.

Yenta Bernheim: Oy I put the wrong menorah out this is one that is just used in the synagogue as a light

Solace Fairlady: O I see!

Solace Fairlady: they would have 9m then, the central and 8 to the sides?

Walter Schnogginstein: Duchess, would you care to explain the slides? This looks like a cookie?

Yenta Bernheim: oh let me look at the slides

zaida Gearbox: do you still give presents on all de nights of hannakah?

Yenta Bernheim: I know this will come as a shock but it's not rezzed for me

Walter Schnogginstein: It's a cookie

Bodhisatva Paperclip: It looks kind of like a triangular kolache

Darlingmonster Ember: is yummy golden yummy

Jimmy Branagh: Looks loike a turnover

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Hamatashen, is it?

Skye McLeod: a tri-cornered one, Yenta

Walter Schnogginstein: Here is a picture of chocolate coins and a toy

Walter Schnogginstein: A dreidel?

Yenta Bernheim: The Dreidel with the geld

Yenta Bernheim: I see it now

Solace Fairlady: Dame Yenta, why in particular a spinning top? Is it related in some fashion to the same concpet as a prayer wheel?

Yenta Bernheim: We would play the game and win the gold coins which are chocolate

Walter Schnogginstein: This is a picture of the bread...challah

Yenta Bernheim: the spinning top has been an easy gift and is great to teach children hebrew

Darlingmonster Ember: we always gave out tops with cantrips when I was a child

Yenta Bernheim: Ah and though Christmas has gift giving during the 8 days a gift is given everyday

Yenta Bernheim: What my Family does on Christmas Day is we go to the Mission and serve Christmas dinner to the people there

Walter Schnogginstein: This is a picture of the Hanikkah Table

Yenta Bernheim: Usually we have brisket

Yenta Bernheim: and there is good brisket and bad brisket

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Duchess, I believe you were going to address the variant spellings of the holiday as well?

Yenta Bernheim: Well the varient is like most things ...cultural

Yenta Bernheim: Currently in this modern time you will see Chanukah

Yenta Bernheim: but the most historically correct is Hanukkah I do believe

Walter Schnogginstein: Latkas!

Walter Schnogginstein: This is the final slide. Lighting of the menorah.

Yenta Bernheim: We will have a giant menorah on the hill of Ahavah that will be erected on the 20th

Yenta Bernheim: And we will light a Menorah and say Prayers in the Synagogue for any who wish to attend

Jimmy Branagh: Is there a time set Miss Yenta?

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Danke, Duchess. Your generosity in making the craft this month is appreciated.

Yenta Bernheim: sunset

Jimmy Branagh: Ummm ... When is sunset in SL?

Skye McLeod: sunset in Caledon, I believe

Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Danke, Duchess. I shall be picking up the tipjar now, and Her Grace will have a nice donation for the Pancreatic Cancer Society.

[14:42] Yenta Bernheim: I see it now
[14:43] Solace Fairlady: Dame Yenta, why in particular a spinning top? Is it related in some fashion to the same concpet as a prayer wheel?
[14:43] Yenta Bernheim: We would play the game and win the gold coins which are chocolate
[14:44] Bodhisatva Paperclip would play long and hard for chocolate

Victuals! Salon (Edited Transcript)

((This is actually Miss Writer's transcript. Baron Wulfenbach had an unfortunate failure of his recording device, so the usual types of unedited and edited transcripts may not be available for this Salon.))

Ceejay Writer: Good afternoon, gourmets, connoisseurs, foodies and people who like to eat!

Before I begin, let me preface my talk by explaining that I am a born-and-bred American, and come from a rich heritage of American pioneers. My family emigrated from Italy in 1635 (in fact the Albertis were the first Italian emigrants to set foot on American soil), and from England in the early 1700’s, settling in New York/New Amsterdam, Canada, Michigan and Missouri.

As the nation began to Go West, my family hopped in covered wagons, settling in Utah and Southern California. Much of what I have learned about cooking and food preservation is based on the history and traditions passed down to me through the generations.

I’m a hybrid who loves a shiny espresso maker just as much as a bale wire canning jar. I’m lucky enough to live in the countryside and have a good amount of land. I grow a lot of our food and prepare it to take us through the winter months.

I’ve definitely got one foot in the past and one in the present, and I like it that way. But my upbringing means that a lot of what I know and do is decidedly American. Many of you are *not* Americans, I know!

However, I encourage you to take what you like from this talk and expand on it. Use it as a springboard to learn more about your own history and culture, and bring a bit of it that your kitchen and onto your dining table.

The Victorian Era was an amazing time to be a Foodie! Many changes in American eating habits developed as the citizens got settled in and stopped moving around so much. As home life became more stable, we demanded much more from our kitchens. We wanted better food, faster, easier, and reliable ways to store it.

One of my favorite foodies of the day was Fannie Farmer. She graduated from one of the first American cooking schools, The Boston Cooking School, and in 1896 published (at her own expense) the Boston Cooking-School Cookbook. Versions of her book are still in use today.

Thanks in great part to Fannie, our recipes became more exact. She removed the guesswork from recipes and helped standardize the American measurement system. Precise measurements came into use instead of ‘pinches’ and ‘butter the size of an egg’. She earned the nickname “The Mother of Level Measurements”. Explicit instructions were a huge boon to novice cooks, as it takes many years to develop a natural sense of ‘when just enough is right.’

But, it’s no good having well-prepared food if it’s not safe to eat! We owe a debt of thanks to Louis Pasteur, who in 1856 figured out how to make food much safer. His process of Pasteurization kills bacteria in certain foods.

The urchins in the Salon may want to gather in closer now, cause we’re about to talk about something rather gross. In 1859 Louis Pasteur entered a contest sponsored by the French Academy of Sciences. The goal was to devise an experiment that would disprove the belief in “spontaneous generation’.

What, you may ask, is spontaneous generation? It was a longstanding belief that dated back to before the middle ages. Basically, people believed that decaying matter could suddenly produce life forms.

Here’s a spontaneous regeneration recipe from the 17th century, and I swear I am not making this up! How to produce mice: Put your sweaty stinky underwear into a jar, add wheat husks and wait three weeks. During that time, the sweat would soak into the husks and turn them into mice.

Knowing all we know today, of course that was absurd thinking. Mice were sneaking in after those wheat husks, of course. But this is the sort of mindset that needed to be shattered.

Anyway, Pasteur’s contest experiment had him boiling meat broth in a flask, then heating the neck of the flask enough to bend it into an S shape. The S allowed air to enter, but microorganisms settled out in the S curve, thanks to gravity.

The broth did not produce any microorganisms - and when he tilted the flask to let the broth slide up into the S where all the icky stuff had settled, THEN the broth turned cloudy and went awful.

This new information about the effects of air and microorganisms on food helped pave the way for advances in food storage techniques.

The notion of putting food into metal cans has been around a long time. Decades before Pasteur changed the way we thought about food safety, we’d starting sealing food into containers. In 1810. Peter Durand figured out how to put food into cans.

His invention went into use the British Navy a few years later. Sounds good so far, right? Well. The cans were made of solid iron with a thin coating of tin that clearly outweighed their contents. Now, let’s assume you’re hungry and you’d actually like to get AT those contents.

Grab a can opener? Nope. They haven’t been invented yet and won’t be for a long time. The recommended method to get at your ironclad foodstuffs was to get a hammer and chisel and work your way around the top. Some people couldn’t be bothered with that method and used bullets or bayonets to try to get at their supper.

Any nutritional benefits of the canned food was surely offset by the risk of injury from the method of opening, or the metal shards that might get bashed into your food and ingested... clearly, the food can was an idea needing a lot of work.

In the 1860’s, steel cans replaced those old iron ones - and hurrah, they were much thinner! In 1858, Ezra Warner was the first to obtain a patent on a can opener (clearly, he’d been waiting for this advancement in canning technology).

His can opener had a blade that could be shoved into the rim of the can and then forced around the edge. Warner was obviously a New Babbager, if only in spirit, as he claimed in his patent that‘“a child may use it without difficulty, or risk.”

But you wouldn’t find Ezra’s can opener anywhere in a kitchen - when you purchased your canned goods, you’d ask the store clerk to open them for you, using the store’s can opener. And then you’d take them home. Any benefit of long-term storage ended the moment you bought your food.

In 1870, William Lyman invented that handy little cutting wheel that goes around a can’s rim, and eventually the contraption settled out into something that became a must-have in every kitchen.

While tin cans are one method of long-term food storage, a more hands-on approach is home canning, which in spite of the name, uses glass jars and not cans. Home-canning techniques have changed vastly through the years, but the benefits have always been clear - growing your own food, when possible, extends the household budget, and allows you to preserve your harvest for the winter months.

Even those who don’t grow produce can benefit from taking advantage of good prices for seasonal fresh vegetables and fruit. It’s also a chance to prepare extra luxuries such as jams, jellies, relishes, and pickles. Unlike tin cans, glass jars are re-usable and the contents can be seen through the container.

I could spend hours talking about canning as it’s a topic dear to me - and I’d be happy to offer advise or instructions at other times to anyone wishing to learn more. But for this salon, let’s just focus on one brilliant, eccentric woman who was influential in this area.

Amanda Jones was a scientist who invented the vacuum method of canning. Basically, that means sucking all the air out of a container, thus making it impossible for bacteria to grow. She got the idea from her spirit guides. Yes, you heard me right. You see, she’d contacted her brother *after* his death years before, and ever since then she took most of her advice from her ‘spirit guides’.

The spirits suggested she contact a man named Cooley, and they also described to her the vacuum canning process. She’d never canned anything in her life, but she got in touch with Cooley, and in 1873, together they created the “Jones Process”.

Ten years later, she founded the Women’s Canning and Preserving Company, only allowing women to work there. But three years later, men were hired - and they promptly took over the company and tossed Amanda out. Bet the spirits didn’t tell her *that* was coming!

Now let’s move on to some fun devices that help us make our food tasty. How many of you like.... toast? It’s one of my favorite snacks! People have been making toast for eons. It was originally a way to preserve bread once it lost it’s fresh-baked texture. It’s also a very handy communication device for sending us mere mortals images of deities and aging entertainers, lightly burned into our bread, just waiting for us to alert Ripley’s, or the Weekly World News.

In the Pre-Toaster Era, hunks of bread were laid on hot stones or held up to a fire. In fact, the word ‘toast’ is derived from the Latin ‘tostum’ which means to scorch or burn.

In England in the 1870’s, the first toasters began to appear. These were simple iron heating coils that a slice of bread could be leaned close to. The bread needed to be hand-turned to get both sides toasted. Still, it was pretty techie compared to hot rocks. But these first machines were slightly inconvenient, as they had a tendency to rust, melt, and start fires.

In later years, General Electric pioneered the use of nickel and chromium in the coils, which eliminated that tendency to melt. The toaster has undergone constant refining and improvements ever since - proof that we all are seeking the Perfect Slice of Toast. Someday, I predict that we shall even have Talking Toasters!

Now then. Is Saffia Widdershins in the room? Because we are going to talk about technology beneficial to CAKE. A light fluffy cake often requires well beaten eggs. And there was a time when eggbeaters as we know them did not exist!

Cooks would instead use a ’broad-bladed knife’ or ‘clean switches, peeled and dried’ to whip those egg whites into meringue, and that was very fatiguing work!

Enter intrepid inventor Rufus M. Eastman, who in 1885 created a mixer which could be powered by water, electricity or manually. Pretty fun notion, but it didn’t catch on. The man history remembers is Willie Johnston, who one year earlier devised a beater that used a wheel and well-placed gears to spin the beater blades.

His machine was dual-action, too! It would mix eggs in one bowl and dry ingredients in another, at the same time. Bet that was fun to watch!

So. Now we’ve touched upon inventions that produce toast, and cake... two favored treats in the Steamlands. But I would be remiss if I did not make mention of a device that makes that beloved foodstuff that no Tiny can resist - Waffles!

All hail Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York! On August 24th, 1869, he became the first inventor to patent a waffle maker. His device was clever and practical, making good use of the stoves in use at the time.

The Swarthout Waffle Maker was designed to fit exactly into one of those round openings on a woodstove. You’d pull the stove lid out, insert the waffle iron ring, and set the waffle iron into the ring, hooking it into special grooves as shown in the picture.

To cook a waffle, you’d open up the iron, add batter, close it and let the waffle cook. After a short time, you’d turn the waffle iron in the ring to get the other side of your waffle browned.

Atop that waffle, you would have been able to heap fruit preserves, thanks to canning techniques, and whipped cream, courtesy the eggbeater. Serve up that plate with a big glass of pasteurized milk, thanks to our friend Louis. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

Now, please help yourself to a Salon Gift, which I hope both amuses and educates. Special thanks must go to Vernden Jervil, who had the scripting skills to both untangle my logic and improve upon it, helping my notion come to life. I appreciate the assistance!

[2011/10/16 14:26] Ceejay Writer: SO! I wonder what other topics might come along... perhaps from the minds of some here in this room?
[2011/10/16 14:26] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Who else might have some Salon memories they would like to share? Once the beaters are dismissed, of course.

[2011/10/16 14:35] Darlingmonster Ember: ...mmmmm, so you would actually have to tie someone down in order... oh look at the time
[2011/10/16 14:36] Ceejay Writer: ah good, so a slow arm amputation is possible

[2011/10/16 14:36] Solace Fairlady: and if so wont that affect the rotation?
[2011/10/16 14:36] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: The root will be in one sim only; it should not.
[2011/10/16 14:36] Ceejay Writer: We will stock up on grease.
[2011/10/16 14:37] Blackberry Harvey: The root for the fixed part on one side, the root for the rotating part on the other side
[2011/10/16 14:37] Darlingmonster Ember applauds

[2011/10/16 14:39] Ceejay Writer: Take care, Lady Macbain!
[2011/10/16 14:39] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: As you might know, the old building was lost in a tragic, unexpected and completely innocent explosion.
[2011/10/16 14:39] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach coughs
[2011/10/16 14:39] Zanya wonders where Tensai was at the time.
[2011/10/16 14:39] Sera [Serafina Puchkina]: *coughs*
[2011/10/16 14:39] Vic Mornington [Victor1st Mornington] chuckles
[2011/10/16 14:39] Ceejay Writer: It was a fluke.
[2011/10/16 14:39] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: With the new prim technologies we have, it was time to re-engineer it anyway.
[2011/10/16 14:39] zaida Gearbox smiles at miz zanya
[2011/10/16 14:39] PJ Trenton decides not to ask what that lingering smell is

[2011/10/16 14:40] Vic Mornington [Victor1st Mornington]: XD
[2011/10/16 14:40] Ceejay Writer: PJ. Two words! Ignorance and Bliss.
[2011/10/16 14:40] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Thinking of explosions... and smells... Herr Harvey, is this building Bobproofed?
[2011/10/16 14:40] Junie Ginsburg giggles
[2011/10/16 14:40] Blackberry Harvey: Now it is.
[2011/10/16 14:40] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach grins

[2011/10/16 14:40] Little M [LittleMystery] shudders at the mention of Bob
[2011/10/16 14:40] Blackberry Harvey: See, bombs just fall off.
[2011/10/16 14:40] Ceejay Writer: Is any building ever really Bobproofed? But if it is... maybe Cleanslate will allow it to be insured.
[2011/10/16 14:41] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Who else has some memories from the previous three years?
[2011/10/16 14:41] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Lady Breezy?

[2011/10/16 14:51] Little M [LittleMystery]: what kind of lighting system will this new build have for the night?

[2011/10/16 14:53] Little M [LittleMystery]: that would be fitting I suppose
[2011/10/16 14:53] Avariel Falcon: The AP&E company do not provide gas, we only provide electricity, and host the wireless telegraph office.

[2011/10/16 14:55] Zanya: I have some glowing green rocks that might not cause growths and mutations we could use.
[2011/10/16 14:55] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Erm...
[2011/10/16 14:55] Blackberry Harvey: Oh, good idea, we can limne the maze design with glowing rock
[2011/10/16 14:56] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach chuckles
[2011/10/16 14:56] Stormy Stillwater: I would rather not run the rish of FURTHER mutation.. .
[2011/10/16 14:56] Stormy Stillwater: risk*
[2011/10/16 14:56] Stereo Nacht: No mutation is good, but perhaps we could use a controlled reaction of magnesium? If done properly, the risks of explosions are minimal... ;-)
[2011/10/16 14:56] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: We have only a few more minutes together by the schedule, but you are all welcome to linger as you like.
[2011/10/16 14:56] Bodhisatva Paperclip: Congratulations and best wishes for the continued success of the Salons! I am off for now.
[2011/10/16 14:56] JJ Drinkwater: Well what fun is that?
[2011/10/16 14:57] Rhianon Jameson wonders if she could listen in to the speakers via wireless, given talk of mutations and explosions
[2011/10/16 14:57] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Remember, the Aether Salon is the third Sunday of each month at 2 pm.
[2011/10/16 14:57] Zanya wonders if the buuilding can resist explosions from within now.
[2011/10/16 14:57] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach: Gute Nacht, Professor.

[2011/10/16 14:59] Ceejay Writer: Before it was built, there was a HUGE Tesla contraption on a building that sparked all night.
[2011/10/16 14:59] Ceejay Writer: Odd memory, just came to mind.
[2011/10/16 14:59] Baron Klaus Wulfenbach remembers it was just on the other side of the train station from the Consulate.
[2011/10/16 14:59] Avariel Falcon: There was a more modern power plant when my creator first came to New-Babbage.

[2011/10/16 15:17] Little M [LittleMystery]: the new prim limit certainly has opened building up allot smoother at least, than having to ceasrh for appropraite megas
[2011/10/16 15:19] Stormy Stillwater: Oh, nevermind. Just someone who used to live in New Babbage who used all of the prim on a parcel in the build it's self.
[2011/10/16 15:19] Blackberry Harvey: Heh
