Stores competing for who’ll make the most over-the-top donuts, meat boards and fish boards for $300, hiring a band instead of just playing music. Is this what chanukah is meant to be? It’s almost as if the Yevanim won. People in Israel are at war with people displaced and held under hostage and this is how we celebrate? Where are the Rabbonim when it comes to addressing needles spending?

Those things may or may not be bad, but they’re hardly dystopian.
