I asked one of the Jewish kids what they're doing. They're handing out Menorah candles (but only if you're Jewish!), sponsored by Yeshivas Lubavitch Oholei Menachem Mendel Student Outreach Organization. I got a pamphlet. It's all about the history & practice of Chanukah. The first couple of pages (The Story - Part I and II) have sidebars with lessons that can be drawn from the history. I now know that
- Megalomania is NOT an effective strategy to acheive long-term goals.
- Messing with the Jewish identity is dangerous.
- Being a tax-paying citizen is nice, but sometimes you have to stand up for your rights.
- Even gentle animals like elephants can be roped into playing the bad guy.
