Q. What if the people of the building across mine and over twenty amos from the ground are not Jewish? – (see questions 1545, 1546 above).
A. Poskim disagree whether pirsumei nissa - advertising and publicizing - the Chanuka miracle applies also to Gentiles or not. Lehoros Nossan (4: 63) Moadim Uzmanim (2: 141), Igrois Moishe (4: 105) and others assert that it does not. While Hisorerut Teshuva (1: 153), Beis Pinchos and others disagree and follow the posuk (Yechezkel 38: 23), And I will reveal Myself in My greatness and in My holiness and will be recognized in the eyes of many nations.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it applies mainly to the Jewish nation.
