[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not aware of Jewish families celebrating Christmas. Interfaith families? Sure. But loads of Jewish families putting up a Christmas tree and going to Mass? Yeah ... no.[/quote] The example was a Hanukkah tree, not going to mass—which only applies to a small percentage of Christians. I live in the DMV and I know several Jewish families with Hanukkah trees. [/quote] Arguing t Ok and ... ? A Christmas tree isn’t religious. Neither is a Hanukkah bush or whatever. [/quote] A Christmas tree is absolutely religious. It’s something that originated hundreds of years ago in Europe abd has become very much a religious symbol —- kind of like how a Seder didn’t start until the Middle Ages and has now become ingrained in Jewish culture. [/quote] Not at all the same thing. Christmas trees started out in pagan festivals. The Passover holiday has always been sacred. Never secular. [/quote]
