T

here are some who feel compelled to shop in far-flung places.

The farther away from home a store is, a number of shoppers believe, the better its goods must be.

Blossom Bleu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Crescor Travel . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 Cocoabliss . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 E.B.

But, surely, by no means does distance, in and of itself, increase the quality of the merchandise. Beyond that understanding, there is another concept to consider: The Torah teaches us that chesed, benevolence, begins at home. One should seek to support his or her neighbors before supporting members of another community (Bava Metzia 71a).

Focus Camera . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Grand Sterling Silver . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Hostess International . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 It’s All a Gift. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 Jacob Jewelers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30

As this magnificent supplement demonstrates, one does not have to necessarily be “charitable” to support his or her neighbors’ stores.

The products that our neighbors sell outshine anything one may find anywhere else.

So why not have the best of both worlds? Enjoy this supplement as a guide for your Chanukah shopping as well as for shopping all year round.

Shop the best, right in your neighborhood… perhaps even next door.

There is no more satisfying way to perform a great mitzvah than this!

Happy Chanukah to all!
