Mendel, I see that you use a computer just like the goyim, but I will not dwell on that, but rather the 100+ menorahs and guides that were delivered to Yidden who did not even think to have a Menorah to light this year, who will now be lighting the Chanukah lights and brightening their homes as a result of this act of Kiddush Hashem and Pirsumei Nissah.
