Judith found a great meme to pass along for the third night of Chanukah.
On December 27, the third night of Hanukkah, Hanukkah candles should be lit in public ceremonies across the streets, in front of Iranian embassies around the world. Jewish communities should organize a lighting ceremony in all those capital cities where Iran has an embassy, and in New York it should be done in front of the U.N. building, right beside the Iranian flag.
It’s from a columnist who writes for National Review.
I’d like to get up to D.C. for this one. But I can’t afford to take a day off.
I think that the point of lighting candles at the UN in NYC is that there is no Iranian embassy in DC.
I suppose that people could gather at the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and light candles there. You wouldn’t know it from that embassy’s website, but there is an Iranian interests section there.
Unfortunately, we don’t have an Iranian embassy in Jerusalem (or Tel-Aviv, as the case may be).
However, if anyone has an e-mail of one of them folks, I would be happy to send them this:

Happy Hanukkah all!
Ben is right.
The Iranian interests section is just South of Calvert on the East side of Wisconsin Avenue, a block down from the Whole Foods market, and a block North of the ‘Social Safeway’.
If anyone wants to meet there, please let me know – I can be there on my way home from work.
Lil Mamzer–
If you can’t get my e-mail address from this site, Meryl can send it to you, or you can search for one of my comments on LGF.
Of course, we probably shouldn’t be coordinating this here. It says “No flames” directly above the comment box.
Lil Mamzer–
I should have checked my own e-mail.
It’s official. DC rally is Tuesday evening, 6 pm to 7 pm, on the sidewalk outside the Pakistani embassy (not identified as such in the flyer). N.B. — The InterFaith Conference is one of the co-sponsors. Maybe the JCRC’s outreach efforts are paying dividends.
