    To light the menorah

    It seems we have a consensus here. May I add that in addition to lighting my menorah I intend to eat sufganiyot. (Had a sneak preview the other day. You can't get sufganiyot that good anywhere else in the world.)

    What about a Chanukah party? Who would you invite? What would you make? And since we are in the topic of Chanuka. Did you ever hear of a costum of lighting an extra light from the beginning? Is that mutar?

    I would invite President Obama and his family, along with Prime Minister Netanyahu and his family. Maybe I would also invite King Abdullah and Mahmoud Abbas,if they were free. We could have a nice chat over latkes and Macabee beer.

    ronrsr: on that note, who do you suppose Obama will invite this year to the
    White House to light the menorah?

    1)Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Y"SV

    2)Khaled Mashal Y"SV

    3)Mahmoud Zahar YS"V

    ok, maybe I would have them come to my house a few days before Chanukah, so I could suggest some better choices for menorah lighter.

    I would not invite any of your proposed menorah lighters. Though I am usually very open-minded, and believe in hospitality, I have alerted Hamas that none of their members are welcome at my house at any time, under any circumstances. Same to leaders of "evil axis" countries. I have to draw the line somewhere.

    I think that for Chanukah, Barack Saddam Hussein Obama will visit Nidal Malik Hasan (if he has not peygered by then) and the two will light an electric menorah (with green lights to symbolize Islam) at Hasan YMS's bedside.

    Last time I checked, Mahmoud Abbas YMS is a leader of an evil axis entity (albeit not a country). He is also a Shoah denier who never repudiated his thesis or dissertation or whatever he wrote denying the Shoah. So, if you invite him, invite David Irving YMS as well.

    Did anyone here see that video of last years Chanukah in the white house with the Kol Zimra choir and the menorah lighting??? I thought it was really beautiful- a true friend to the Jewish nation...George- we miss you!

    I think the Hazkeni Voices would be an appropriate choice to sing Haneros Hallelu at the White House this year.

    I remember rebbitzer Eshter Jungrais telling me once when she came to Mexico that she went to the White House to light the Menorah if I am correct. She also told me that they warned the president that she doesn´t shake hands. What a kidush Hashem she does. She is definitly a person I admire. Who wouldn't shake the presidents hands. The irony of a it all and she says it herself who was going to believe that a refugee from WWII was going to go to the White House.

    Paging YW Moderator-99, how many sufganiyot are you going to eat this Chanuka? And how long will you spend on the couch afterwords?

    I think Mod 99 is still on the couch from last year's sufganiyot. He should wake up right before chanuka.
