- Q. See question 5241 above. Should a "Mi Sheberach" blessing be recited in shul at the reading of the Torah on this Shabbat for all wives and women that were so instrumental in complying with the great mitzva of Chanuka, to thank them for all the great extra work involved?
A. Indeed, as we have already indicated in regard to other Yamim Tovim, a public acknowledgement and recognition for the great work and effort of our women is not only an obligation, but a most beautiful enlightening act.
Specially in our occasion to keep the great an beautiful lights of the Menorah on for the rest of the year, as was done and will be done soon in the Beth Hamikdash.
