Traditional Hanukkah foods (Spoon University) are often fried or cooked in oil, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Latkes (Potato Pancakes): Grated potatoes mixed with onions, eggs, and flour, then fried until crispy. They are often served with applesauce or sour cream.

Sufganiyot (Jelly-filled Doughnuts): Deep-fried doughnuts filled with jelly or custard and dusted with powdered sugar. They represent the oil that miraculously burned for eight days.

Brisket: Slow-cooked beef brisket is a popular main course for Hanukkah dinners.

Applesauce: Often served as a topping for latkes or as a side dish.

Matzo Ball Soup: While traditionally associated with Passover, some families also serve matzo ball soup during Hanukkah. It consists of light, fluffy dumplings made from matzo meal in a chicken broth.

Kugel: A baked casserole dish that can be sweet or savory, made with noodles, potatoes, or other ingredients.

Chocolate Gelt: Chocolate coins wrapped in gold or silver foil, often used in the game of dreidel.

Dreidel Cookies: Cookies shaped like the spinning top used in the traditional Hanukkah game of dreidel.

Cheese: In reference to the story of Judith, who is said to have fed cheese to an enemy general to make him thirsty and then gave him wine to make him drunk.

Testing, Inspection & Certification

“The Alchemists Laboratory” 1625 | Heinrich Khunrath

The size of the U.S. Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) industry is approximately $48.19 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to about $60.06 billion by 2032.  The industry is driven by factors such as increasing government regulatory action, consumer awareness about safety, and the rising need for quality assurance in various sectors like automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, municipal and campus building construction.  TIC standards are found in design guidelines, construction contracts, building commissioning and acceptance.

Today we focus on the public commenting facilities of the dominant standards developers relevant to our work:

ASTM International

Intertek

International Electrical Testing Association (Portage, Michigan)

NSF International (Ann Arbor, Michigan)

Underwriters Laboratories

Each of the foregoing organizations have global affiliates such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, and TÜV SÜD which we cover in a separate session at some point in the future.  We deal with electrotechnical TIC standards in any of our electrotechnology-oriented sessions every Tuesday.

Electrical Safety Stack

The University of Michigan has supported the voice of the United States education facility industry since 1993 — the second longest tenure of any voice in the United States.  That voice has survived several organizational changes but remains intact and will continue its Safer-Simpler-Lower Cost-Longer Lasting advocacy on Code Panel 3 in the 2029 Edition.

Today, during our customary “Open Door” teleconference we will examine the technical concepts under the purview of Code Panel 1; among them:

Article 206 Signaling Circuits

Article 300 General Requirements for Wiring Methods and Materials

Article 590 Temporary Installations

Chapter 7 Specific Conditions for Information Technology

Chapter 9 Conductor Properties Tables

Public Input on the 2029 Edition will be received until April 9, 2026.
