Subject: An American Chanukah

The deeper meaning behind public Menorahs

Chof Daled Kislev, 5785 — December 25, 2024 With the commencement of Chanukah comes the rush of media showcasing public menorahs in every corner of the globe! But have you ever considered: What is the background of public menorahs? What do they symbolize? The Rebbe gave illuminating insight into this topic in a talk on yud-tes Kislev, 5747 (1986), highlighting the alignment of public menorahs with the very ideals upon which America was founded and underscoring the tremendous influence it can have upon American society as a whole.  This remarkable essay is being published in the zechus of Rabbi Sholem Ber Hecht, Sholem Dovber ben Chava, who translated it at the time. May he have a complete and speedy recovery!  A freilichen Chanukah! Learn the Sichah Join the SIE Whatsapp Broadcast to get quick access to the newest sales and deals leading up to Hey Teves.
