Reply To: Public menorah lightings and rooftop menorahs

“In the alte heim they were not able to go and have a public menorah lighting in the town hall, especially in russia. There would be pogroms following, along with other bad stuff, if it was even allowed in the first place.”
1. Places like the Austro- Hungrian Empire, the German Kaisers, Morocco and the New World allowed yidden full practice of the faith, yet no one felt the compelling need to light the menorah in the Town Square or have a silly chanucka parade.
2. If it was even a havaminah of a hiddah mitzva any of the above mentioned Gedolim would have risked life and limb to do it.
3. My challage remains, show m one odam golod who did this in the prior to 40 years ago
