Erect a Chanukah Menorah on Public Property?
A letter from The Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
By Dovid Zaklikowski
=========================================================
Debate raged in a small New Jersey town. It was 1980 and a large Chanukah menorah had been erected in the garden of the court house in Hackensack, New Jersey. The menorah attracted Jews and heightened the holiday awareness and celebration in the area.
By that time, public menorahs were on display in cities across the United States of America, including one in the nation's capital, in front of the White House.
The following year, the Teaneck Jewish Community Council reached a unanimous decision opposing the erection of a similar menorah outside City Hall, which the local Chabad rabbi was planning to erect. They planned to raise the issue with the town council.
The local Chabad emissary, responded that nonetheless he is planning to erect the menorah as permitted by American law. He continued to dedicate his time to planning the project.
Larry Jaffe, at the time a JCC board member, wrote a warm letter to the Rebbe, on behalf of the entire board, explaining their position.

Chanukah Fun and Games
It is customary on Chanukah to organize special events for small children. It is also the custom to make family Chanukah parties – for even the Rebbes of Chabad would make a gathering for their children on one of the nights of Chanukah. Customary activities include Chanukah Gelt, playing Dreidel, and Chanukah plays where the children dress up as Maccabees.

WEEKLY TORAH READING
The Repentance Litmus Test (By Mendel Kalmenson)
With his harsh rebuke, Reuben seems to have acted unreasonably petty for holding onto old grudges, and harsh for underscoring and even adding to his brother's culpability.

Why the Discrepancy in the Chanukah Prayer? (By Yehuda Shurpin)
I noticed that we start off by saying, "We kindle these lights to commemorate the salvations [saving acts], miracles and wonders which You have performed for our forefathers," but then when it come to the ending, we reverse the order and say.
