[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: in the past I have heard of parents wanting to light a menorah to expose their child to Hanukkah as a cultural/educational experience, but they were met with a lot of anger from Jewish celebrants. Is this different?[/quote] The people who got angry are different from people who don't get angry. Some people take religious holiday more seriously than others, thinking that only those with the proper religious training and beliefs can take part -- even thinking that it's sinful to participate, for instance, in taking holy communion, if you aren't an observant Catholic in a state of grace. Others see religious practices from a more cultural/sociological point of view, putting more value on participating with others than with following rules that may be exclusionary.[/quote]
