Senator Reid Lights Menorah with Chabad Delegation
WASHINGTON, DC [CHI] — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took time from his busy schedule this morning to light a special Chanukah Menorah with Rabbi Cunin and a West Coast Chabad Lubavitch Nevada delegation. US Senator John Ensign joined the lighting ceremony, which was the highlight of a Chanukah reception held at a breakfast in the Lyndon B. Johnson room in the US Capitol.
The Menorah, a symbol of light, hope and freedom, was presented with blessings to Senator Reid and the people of Nevada, inscribed with a quote from the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, that reads โThe tallest candle on the menorah is the one that serves to kindle others.โ
Senator Reid talked about the theme of Chanukah, and its message of hope and illumination. He thanked Chabad for the Menorah and for its public service in the community. Chabad’s delegation included Rabbi Chaim N. Cunin, Rabbi Yosef Cunin, and Rabbi Menachem Mendel Cunin of Reno, Nevada.
West Coast Chabad Lubavitch is a community-based nonprofit organization offering programs to help the needy regardless of background or belief. Chabad runs the largest network of educational and nonsectarian social services under Jewish auspices in Nevada and California.

The Cunins do not need L. Shemtov when in Washington. They have their own lines of power and communication, as does the Merkos leadership. Shemtov is an independent operator who takes care of his side of Anash.

What a Chillul Lubavitch to let a Mormon light a menorah while he is in the middle of the destruction of America and its healthcare system. There are mandatory abortion fees in his bill and all the elderly Yidden on Medicaid will be devastated by his satanic bill. How disgusting!
