deciding to make the menorah lighting private and place a sign on the menorah showing that it belongs to Chabad and not the city..."For the greater good, you make compromises that don't interfere with your essential beliefs

As a Christian I have to ask, when you start compromising your beliefs, where do you draw the line on what is essential?

Jews will have winter holiday candles to go alongside our winter holiday trees.

You cannot run culture through a blender and think that the tasteless grey muck that is created is somehow better than what you had before.

I don't quite understand referring to it as anything but a religious or political symbol.

As I understand it, the Jewish holiday was a rather minor one that was invigorated solely as a political act to counter the unity that would result from untrammeled celebration of Christmas just as Kwansaa was an utterly invented holiday concocted solely to promote Black unity.

Very well said.

Apparently its not a menorah anymore but an ACLU-friendly "Winter Holiday Candelabra."

That is very well put, FRiend. You know, a lot of this crap wouldn't happen as fast if we didn't have sellout religious leaders, like one of the Rabbis mentioned in the article above, although he could just as easily be a priest, minister or whatnot, and that "holiday candleholder" a "holiday tree" or some BS like that.
