Answer 1

I've received the following comments in email from people I shared this with:

• Thanks, Monica. Scholarly and fun! By the way, I've read but never tried this remedy--that a good way to get wax off anything is to freeze it. I just run hot water over the chanukia for a long time. And it might be hard to fit a whole tablecloth in the freezer...

• Thank you, Monica, for giving me something to think about. Well done. I confess I have never thought of some of these questions.

(And several general "thanks"s.)

Answer 2

Just an idea, but perhaps for something like this (not the Hagadah or Purim books), it could be entirely self-contained. Meaning, we could include the brachot, haneirot halalu, and ma'oz tzur in the book itself. It would only be an extra two pages, and could be very helpful for people who light candles because of tradition, but don't always do the brachot and stuff.

Answer 3

I showed someone the landing page, and he was confused about the comments from previous years (Pesach).
I did anticipate this.

Also, the title could be a bit bigger and more prominent. (chat message)

Other than that, it looks awesome!
