Lol guess you’re referring to places that have the pshuto shel mikra Chumash
Anyway, Rav Moshe talks about it here (אורח חיים ג)





Isn’t not אסור מדינא and it’s unclear how much the other considerations are relevant nowadays.
להעיר that reb Moshe held that conservative is just as bad as reform, and in some cases worse

Good for what?
They're on CRC list, ideally you should ask a hechsher you rely on what they think about another hechsher...
Jews ≠ Zionists
Palestinians ≠ Hamas
Satmar ≠ SatmarHQ

I assume @greatdeals meant macarons not macaroons.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

I eat macaroons all year. Problem is they don't sell them all year - only from Purim to a few months after Pesach.

I never tasted macarons, though.

Saw this very interesting custom of Rebetzin Kanievsky in regards to women lighting Chanuka licht:

ואכן חקרנו מנהג זה אצל גדולי ישראל בדורנו ולא שמענו על נשים מבנות אשכנז שהדליקו נרות חנוכה, פרט לאשת הגר"ח קנייבסקי זצ"ל הרבנית בת שבע ע"ה, שידידי הרב יצחק לסלו הי"ו סיפר לי, שהגיע לביתם במוצ"ש, ועצרו את האנשים מלכת, בשעת הדלקתה את נרות החנוכה. ובררתי וחקרתי את העניין, וידידי הרב עמיחי כינרתי שליט"א, היפנה אותי לספר שיח החנוכה, שהן שאלות שנשאל הגר"ח קנייבסקי זצ"ל, ושם בעמ' ח' מופיע במדור "פנינה הלכה" השאלה מדוע נשים לא נהגו להדליק, והשיב "כי מהדין יכולה להדליק ג"כ אבל דרך כלל המנהג שלא מדליקה כי הבעל מוציא אותה, ציין לחת"ס... ע"ש הטעם משום צניעות"
ועד כה זה כפי שביארנו לעיל.
והוסיף (שם) "וסיפר רבנו (הגר"ח) כי באחד הימים פלוני הביא לביתם חנוכיה נאה מאד מכסף בשביל שידליק בה, וכיון שהוא מדליק תמיד במנורה שקיבל במתנה מהגה"צ ר' אריה לוין זצ"ל אין לו צורך בחדשה, אבל חשש שאם לא ידליק בה כלל הלה יעלב, ולכן הציע שהרבנית ע"ה תדליק בזה, ע"כ. ומידי שנה היתה מדליקה במנורה זו ובאו נשים רבות, וסיפרה להם תמיד עובדה זו שההדלקה היא תוצאה של חשש שיהודי יעלב, וכדרכה הרבתה כבוד שמים בפני
הבריות גם בהדלקה זו, ואמרו כולם ראו בריה שבראת בעולמי" עכ"ל.
הא קמן, שהמנהג שנשים לא מדליקות, ובמקום חשש לביוש ליהודי שנתן מתנה את החנוכיה, הייתה מדליקה הרבנית בחנוכיה זו, כי כפי שכתבנו לעיל, הידור זו חסידות, ומידת החסידות צריכה להיות נשקלת עפ"י התוצאה ועוד כפי שהבאנו לעיל מהרמח"ל. ובפרט שהיא אשת חבר עם הנהגה ייחודית, יכלו לדאוג שלא תהיה פגיעה בצניעות כדברי חת"ס, וע"כ עצרו את האנשים מלכת, אך שאר העולם לא יכולים לנהוג כן, וע"כ נהגו שנשים לא מדליקות.
ולמדנו, שאין ללמוד מעשה מראיה עד שחוקרים ושואלים בברור העניין. ודפח"ח.
ושמעתי מתלמידי וחתני, ר' אריאל זעפרני בנו של ראש לשכתו של הרשל"צ הגר"מ אליהו, שהרבנית שתחי' פעמים לאחר הדלקת הרב בברכה בפתח הבית היתה אף היא מדליקה בחנוכיה העומדת בחלון בבית בלא ברכה. ובהדלקה ללא ברכה ודאי שאין חשש בפרט שזה בתוך הבית,

(ירחון האוצר - רב יהושע ון-דייהק )

FYI, there were a number of female "Rebbes" to whom people came for Brachos and to be Poiel Yeshuos.

Interesting, I recall seeing a book about one who had her own shteibel, I don’t remember her name right now. Gotta check if she made a public hadlaka…

Very interesting thanks for sharing!

-----

On a different note I heard a Rov quip that the men and not the women light to fight the modern idea of "equality" and everyone has their specific avodah and mission. (more of a hashkafic idea than halachik)

-----

I also saw that a reason women don't do melacha is to show that they are also participating in chanuka and aren't not lighting because of laziness.

You mean Webermacher of Ludmir?

I would be interested to see about the hadlaka if you have a chance to check!

Sounds right. I didn’t end up buying the book, I decided at the time that it seemed they were exaggerating her role and status.

So, by not working, they show they aren't lazy? :-X

What's the deal with toiveling a pasta machine? Apparently getting it even remotely wet can ruin it completely.
