Temple Micah launched a mitzvah project in December, 2004, called "Share Your Hanukah, Spread the Light." Temple Micah provides requested holiday gifts for adults and children in needy families in conjunction with Linkages to Learning, a Montgomery County social service agency. It is a wonderful way to celebrate Hanukah by sharing our holiday with neighbors who are oppressed by so many basic needs. What better lesson could there be to share with our own children? What better way to spend a night of Hanukah than to go shopping as a family buying gifts and even basic necessities for those whose needs go unmet during so much of the year?
