[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you all just call it Easter, rather than Passover, so we can end this thread?

You’re not celebrating Passover; you’re celebrating Easter.

Our Passover has nothing to do with Jesus. Not even a tiny bit.[/quote]

Not everything to do with Christianity has to do with Jesus.

Christians believe in and look to the wisdom of Moses, Elijah, Noah, Jacob, David, Solomon. You are really uneducated about Christianity if you do not know that. [/quote]

So you all want to celebrate Shavuot, which is about the Torah?

You realize your religion is different than Judaism right? [/quote]

How about we celebrate what we want, and you celebrate what you want, and maybe sometimes we can find ways to celebrate together?

I’m so glad that is how it is with the many Jewish friends, colleagues and community members that I have connected with over the years. [/quote]

I mean, celebrating with Jews is different than literally appropriating our religion.[/quote]

Show me how a Bible reading followed by a soup kitchen meal is appropriation. I’ll wait. [/quote]

So you celebrate the liberation of Jews from slavery in Egypt with a Bible reading and a soup kitchen visit? Why? [/quote]

I’ve already linked to resources, including a joint Jewish and Catholic event in Massachusetts. Be well. You don’t want to understand; you want to argue. [/quote]

A joint event with Jews isn’t the same thing as you all deciding you want to celebrate a Jewish holiday. How do you not get that?

Would you like it if Jews celebrated all the Christian holidays? There’s always people giving shit to Jews on this forum if they deign to celebrate Christmas. [/quote]

Dp. Honestly, if you wanted to celebrate Christmas that wouldnt bother me at  all.  Go for it!  Christmas tree, wreath, lights and Santa!

Enjoy![/quote]

The things you mentioned are part of secular traditions. Would you like it if I set up a nativity scene and went to Mass? What if I decided to receive communion while I’m at it?[/quote]

NP: Christianity is an open religion that actively tries to convert others, unlike Judaism...so in general, Christians would be thrilled that a Jewish person was showing interest in Christianity and would happily help you set up the nativity and drive you to church.[/quote]

You mean proselytizing. You all want me there so you can convert me.

But seriously — you would all be ok if I, as a Jewish person, received communion? [/quote]

New poster, but this is interesting to me that you are so eager for others to be as offended as you are. While it's true that Catholics have very distinct rules (set by the Pope) regarding who may receive the sacraments from a priest (Spoiler: It's only Catholics), protestants have no such restrictions. It is understood to be the Lord's table and your partaking of (or abstaining from partaking of) communion is a personal decision that you make between you and God.

Or, you can just drink some grape juice or red wine and eat a little smidge of bread or cracker and call it a snack.

Doesn't matter. It's not an offensive gesture for you to eat something we eat and call it communion. This does not denegrate the meaning of my communion experience at all.[/quote]
