What's the etiquette on sending a Hanukkah card?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I never do and never have – it’s too much like copying the goyim who send ********* cards. If the guy eats ham, it’s difficult to know if the receipt of a Hanukkah card will be meaningful to him. But if nothing else, THIS WEEK is the middle of the High Holidays – so if you see him, wish him a Good Yomtiv and a Shana Tovah.
