Reply To: Public menorah lightings and rooftop menorahs

1. That is one persons take on it, I am sure the ACLU has a differnt take on it, I am not even going to respond on the context of the statement.

2. Light in front of the Chabad house, I have no issue with that, my issue is that they insist on having it next to the xmas tree in Cheyenne Wy., Oskosh Wi. or Bayou Laforce La., Frum yidden were on the American shores for over 100 years prior to 1981, including some giants such has Satmar Rav, Bobover Rav, Reb Moshe Feinstein, Reb Shrage Fievel Mendlowitz, if this would have been a high priority of yiddishkiet any of these giants would have done it long before 1981.

3. We started with the public lighing of the menorah in the town square by your local goy with a party and morphed in rooftop menorahs, chanuaka parades, then to giant blow-up bears with kippas and dreydels in their front yards, and laser light magen davids dancing on their houses under twinkly snowflake decorations.
I am content with my yiddishkiet and dont need to be in your face about it. As @TS Baum summed it up, its all about competing with old st nick and the end justify the means.
