We all have our share of dirty laundry. No one in the world is born great. Everyone has skeletons in their closets. Do we shove it all under the bed, or do we deal with it, become amazing people, and move on? People who do the former are forgotten. Those who do the latter serve as an example for all us for all time.

Giant Menorahs, giant latkes and giant donuts – Chabad only goes giant. Many Chabad Houses have secured major city destinations for their giant Menorahs to be displayed. Chabad’s literal interpretation of Pirsumei Nisa, (Hebrew for “publicizing the miracle of Chanukah”), is usually accompanied by a major public kindling of the Menorah with city officials and hundreds of participants. Nothing Chabad does is ever on a small scale — from giant Menorahs to mobile Succahs to free High Holiday Services.
