Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

It's just not...

It's just not something we should be doing.

If you are familiar with a Jewish organization that is running a casino night, I would call them up and tell them how terribly inappropriate it is and how it makes you lose trust in that organization and their ability to lead and call Israel.

It's just not reading the room.

You've got to know what's going on out there.

You have to know how many kids are gambling outside

high school kids in yeshivish schools, in modern orthodox schools, it's really, really a problem, so don't do it.

Okay, question number three.

Does selling or monetizing photos or videos of one's Hanukkah candles constitute benefiting from the lights of the candles?

I didn't have a chance to look into this, but my netia is that it is not a violation.

You're not allowed to get Hanukkah from the light of your Hanukkah.

So it says, I think

that means if you're using the light to get benefit from, to see by the light of the candles.

But you're certainly allowed to use them for pursuing Nisa.

So you're going to take pictures to publicize the miracle and the mitzvah.

So I don't know if that's called getting Hannah.

I would think that that's mutter, even though you're using them as a prop

in a picture, and then you have a beautiful picture with Nero's Hanukkah.

In addition to that, any nerve that's not being relied on for the mitzvah, you're allowed to get Hanukkah from, like after they've been lit for 30 minutes, let's say.

Or, you know, if you have a shamash, then you're even allowed to use the light.
