Taken from Sefer Haminhogim footnote 623. The question has been asked as to why only men and not women light separately; the answer has been proposed that one’s wife is virtually identical with oneself (Menachos 93b), and it would not be proper for a daughter to light a menorah when her mother does not.

hi really nice and powerful message – keep up the good work
I loved this video. You did an outstanding job and the message is soooooo true. This year lets all light the world as never before. Thank you, Mendy!
love it!!!!! really gives over the message
Keep lighting up the world! All our shluchim need to have this powerful, yet subtle message blasting from their web sites!
there are people in australia too you know.
love the video but not the choice of song
i remember one chanukah where the rebbe promoted women and girls lighting even though i was not married and heard it from my father and brothers …..
most of ashkenaz have the minhag officialy that women light. practicaly not all do. shauvinist
why is she lighting the licht by herself is she still in australia or is turtle still in italy
And to are we promoting women lighting chanukah candles, why shouldn’t they – and for many who else will do it – stop finding nothing to pick at!
and there are households without men (divorce, widows, etc).
they don’t need to feel like they are second class just because their lives aren’t ideal.
This video has convinced me that it’s finally time for me to move to Malibu
Women certainly may light Chanukah candles if they are not being lit by a the male of the household.
Mendy Pelin, I know this won`t get to your head ;so I`ll say it: YOU ARE VERY TALENTED!! Kein Ayin Hara. But my favourite which gives me a ton of laughs everytime I see it is the Breslov clip with Mattisyahu. Keep on bringing on the laughs ,smiles and in this clip the tears. A secret admirer from Toronto. Mashiach Now!
you seriously rock the world!
you do it again! make a differnce ot the world. and to number 5 you dont always have to post a negatvie comment, its for shluchim, not you! yes, im a shliach, and i am definitally going to get this video for my web site, and btw if you only have men i think women will feel left out. and also if you look in the shevach hamoadim in chanulah you will see that its a chabad custom for girls not to light the menorah but other people do!
YES YOU CAN
MAKE A GOOD VIDEO
