Clearing up a misconception...
There is a big misconception with Chanukah in regards to gifts. Today's gift idea may have derived from non-Jewish sources. The Jewish tradition on Chanukah is to give money/coins to children that could amount to quite a lot if they had lots of relatives and friends in the area. Originally children would go to relatives and friends every day and get their coins.

A Miracle in the Making...
Second Day of Chanukah in Yerushalayim

The Golden Menora: Moving Closer to its Destination

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7Hng2mVVjJs

Description from YouTube: On the second night of Chanuka, 5768 (December 6, 2007), the golden menora prepared by the Temple Institute and fit for use in the Holy Temple, was moved from the archaeological site of the Roman Cardo in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, to its new location, alongside the Yehudah Halevi staircase leading from the Jewish Quarter to the Western Wall Plaza. There it overlooks the Temple Mount, site of the future Holy Temple. A small move, perhaps, for the golden menora, but a giant leap forward for mankind, as the rebuilding of the House of G-d becomes one step closer

Copy of July 15 '08 email:

Visit our News page Pushing Terrorists Off Of Cyberspace! It would appear that terrorists using YouTube to spread videos depicting terrorist activity are being pushed off cyberspace. Our intrepid blog editor, Jerry Gordon, has been posting about and monitoring this issue for some time, as well as communicating with key Members of Congress about the problem. Senator Lieberman, Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, has conducted hearings on this issue. He brought pressure on Google/YouTube to ban the posting of videos that show terrorist actions, such as attacks on American troops. That resistance and pressure to get rid of terrorist training videos on YouTube is working. Recently our talented colleague Joseph Shahda came across a chat room thread below on the terrorist website “Ekhlaas.” The reaction from Senator Lieberman’s staff can be summed up in one word -- “wonderful.” Resistance to radical Islam works. Here is Joseph Shahda’s translation of Ekhlaas terrorist forum threads http://ek-ls.org/forum/showthread.php?t=158524 “Username: Mohajer Daya’aa Al Tareek, July 4, 2008 Dear Brothers: Invade, Invade YouTube. Most of special and martyrdom operation have been removed. In the name of Allah the most merciful the most compassionate Beloved brothers, we beg you to invade YouTube because most of the Jihadi sections have been removed and in particular the martyrdom ones. I did not find the operation of Khatib Fatima. Therefore experts, invade, invade. Allah blesses you. Username: Hanat Yadaiy, July 4, 2008 I post one movie a day on YouTube and under dozens of different names. After a month one or two names are removed but I keep the work using the other names Username: Mohajer Daya’aa Al Tareek, July 4, 2008 Allah bless you my beloved brother and continue your work and Allah willing we will have the experience and we will not stop from invading the infidels. Allah will make us victors and the prophet is our idol and the martyrdom is our goal Username: Mohajer Daya’aa Al Tareek, July 5, 2008 Elevate this subject ( *** he is asking that this thread he wrote will be put in a more prominent place on Ekhlaas terrorist forum so more members will see it and participate in it) Username: Hanat Yadaiy, July 5, 2008 Thanks Allah who gave us this tool to speak the truth in their sites and no matter how many names they remove, eliminate, and ban we will not give up and they will get rid of us until we go to the battlefields and then our brothers after us will take the task.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.
