Reply To: Chanuka presents- a sad state of affairs

Seriously though, Chanuka presents are a perfectly harmless way to get kids excited about Chanukah nothing wrong with that but I don’t think anyone seriously considers it a minhag.

Shlissel challah is accepted as minhag and suggesting that it originates from cross loaves is heading down a dangerous path.

I agree that we should be wary of strange new minhagim but at the same time we must be careful not to fall prey to the skewed thinking of pluralism and the likes of it.
