[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling BS on Jewish friends raising kids as practicing Jews with trees. Mixed households, sure. Culturally Jewish but not practicing households, Maybe. But none of these are people pulling kids out of schools for Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Passover, Sukkot, etc. I hate tree fundraisers because I spend all my time explaining why I am not buying a tree and how I won't volunteer for a religious based activity at a public school. [/quote] some fundraisers will include Hanukkah candles too, but I get your point. A Hanukkah bush and oberserving Yom Kippur were not compatible activities among the Jewish families I knew growing up. Now as a parent most of my Jewish peers have some mixed practicing households so I see more cultural overlap than I did as a kid.[/quote] Growing up I knew people who had a Hanukkah bush and celebrated Yom Kippur.
