Cool engineering feat. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate 🥂🍾

Bob happy.

Iʻd love to see Adam Sandler sing a little song while playing the worldʻs largest ukulele near the Balto statue.

Lit from space I assume, So cool!

That's a hanukiah (8+1 branches), not a menorah (7 branches).

Yea but nobody calls them hanukiah anymore

Isn't there a thing about religious symbols in public spaces? There seems to be a rucus every time a cross or nativity scene goes up in some town...

every time?

This is no different than a Christmas tree display. I think you’re confusing a display that is associated with a religious holiday (e.g. a Christmas tree, Easter egg/bunny display, or frankly even a Jack o lantern) with a display of a scene/object that is religious in and of itself (e.g. a cross, passion play, nativity scene, or something depicting something unmistakably and purely religious). Jewish teaching is very clear that the menorah itself isn’t a religious or holy object, despite its ties to religious tradition.

Also Jewish, Jewish school, around several Jewish communities, and I don't know anybody that calls it a menorah unless it's a song lyric.

Interesting. What type (idk how to phrase that sorry) of Jewish are you

Ashkenazi, grew up in Los Angeles. Unless you were asking denomination, in which case, Reform, but most of those around me are Conservative.

I’m reform and I have always called it a menorah.
