My Family’s Contribution to Chanukah

A decade or-so ago, my 16 year-old son decided he wanted to build a large outdoor Menorah (Chanukiah) for his non-Jewish high school. For some inane reason possibly linked to an ecumenical spirit, the administration permitted the unlicensed and unsupervised construction and implementation of what are effectively molotov cocktail torches.

A good idea is rapidly being institutionalized! Our family (including adopted kids) lit this year in Maryland, the Midwest, Texas, and Jerusalem!

The design is unique to #2 son - it is not quite the same as any other in use, including those by Chabad Lubavitch.

This post was promoted to the Main Feed at the recommendation of Ricochet's members.
