#5217 Enlight Others With Your Lighting
Rov, since I know that there are other Jewish friends and coworkers with us that are also partaking in our work and business team, although they are not frum at all, should I invite them to the Menorah Lighting with us in our home? Is that proper? If yes, How should they partake? Should I ask a small contribution from them?
You should invite them and explain to them the reasons of the great mitzva of the Chanuka Menorah lighting and the basic rules for complying with it properly and provide them with the necessary and correct on line contacts of info and where to get what is necessary.
Promoting and helping others to do any mitzva is in itself a great mitzva, especially regarding Chanuka as it stands for Pirsumei Nes or advertising the historical miracle to all. (Be careful with the asking for contributions, it may just spoil this great Kiruv Mitzva. There are organizations that can provide necessary help).
