Reply To: Public menorah lightings and rooftop menorahs

@AAQ, “I can’t find an example of a society where Jews had a status to light in public, so this seems to be a novel question for today’s society.”
Just because we have rights that we never enjoyed before does not mean we have to be in your face about it, for example we have the right to perform mezitzah beh peh, do we have to have a demostation of that in middle of Time Square?
Eidlekite was always a yiddish middah, you can spot a Bais Yakov girl / yeshiva bucher by the way they talk and walk, not being in your face is a yiddisher middah.
