Chanukah from the eyes of a “Tankist”:

Chanukah is marvelous; it’s that time of year when Chabad is in the news all across the globe. From Fox News to your local paper, any newspaper, news station, radio talk show, everyone is talking about Chabad and Chanukah.

There is one thing however that does not make it into the media, you won’t even find it on the Chabad websites and it happens every day of Chanukah across the Tri-state-area.

As the children finish their studies each afternoon in Crown Heights, hundreds of Yeshiva boys of all ages line President Street, with Menorahs in hand and board Mitzvah Tanks to fight the darkness of exile on the filthy street corners of Manhattan and shopping centers throughout the Tri-state-area.

Rabbi Schneur Oirechman, left, and honorary menorah lighter Buddy Streit of Tallahassee work together to light the menorah at the carnival.

According to Rabbi Schneur Oirechman, most people at the Chanukah Carnival on Sunday weren't members of his synagogue or of Chabad Lubavitch of the Panhandle, the Jewish organization he leads. Many weren't Jewish at all.

During the carnival at Lake Ella that marked the first of the eight-day Jewish holiday, people came out for fellowship, to experience a different culture and to be proud of who they are.

Rabbi Itchel Krasnjansky of Chabad of Hawai'i, his wife, Pearl, and their children observe Hanukkah according to strict guidelines.

Pearl Krasnjansky prepared latkes, potato pancakes fried in oil, to distribute to the crowd.

"There's a theory that malassadas, a Portuguese food, was eaten by Jews in hiding (during the Spanish Inquisition)," she said. Like latkes, malassadas are fried in oil to commemorate the miracle of the oil lamp.
