I don't like games
I am a middle aged woman with a very limited sense of humor, and i don't like games. Chanukah is not a game, it is a Jewish holiday. I think this chanukah quiz makes a mockery of Judaism and should be removed from the site ASAP!

THIS GAME IS APALLING!
I am usually very impressed with the content on chabad.org. That is why i was so chocked when I saw this game. I think the design and interface is great, but i'm not sure the content is appropriate. The absurd comments that pop up when you select an answer are EXTREMELY irreverent and undermines the wonderful work that you people are doing. Also, I know many people who thought those comments were actual system alerts and spent many hours trying to fix their computers. Please do something about this.
Posted By Phil

Posted: Dec 8, 2006
i don't believe any of these comments!
There's not a chance in hell these comments aren't generated by one or two of you Loving, Beautiful, and Intelligent Jewish Americans! No group of people is that positive about any such subject or website, unless you're talkin' bout cash & Isrealites!! One of these days, or years, one of you'll have the nuts to go toe to toe with righteousness, and stare the truth in the eye! Until Then-Keep covering up the truth, and spin that wheel of propoganda....

Is there a "WHY" about how you must light the candles right to the left or left to the right. Is this just customary or is there an specific reason for.?
