In the lead up to Chanukah, make your encounters more meaningful by starting a chain effect of mitzvahs. Share a menorah with someone who doesn't have one and inspire that person to share a menorah to the next person, leading to a chain effect of positive outcomes and mitzvahs.
Order your FREE Chanukah sets today, available for collection from an Islington address.
