- Q. Rabbenu Shlit’a, In our large family, we have a cousin that was injured with one of his children in the commotion of the terrorism attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney Australia. We usually make a large Chanuka party for our great family.
Does Rabbi Miller Shlit’a maintain that we should still do it this year? Can we do instead on Chanuka a memorial act? Is that permitted on Chanuka?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is better to dedicate a significant time to learn the Torah insights of Chanuka that give meaning to the persecution and salvation for the future embedded in the history and teachings of Chanuka.
