I see your point but since when do December "holiday" trees in America represent anything other than Christmas. Do people think a menorah represents anything other than Hanukah? Unfortunately it's very telling that many posts are using bigotry to complain about anti-Christian bigotry. This rabbi is pro-Jewish not anti-Christian. People should focus on the reason he did this. His goal was never to remove the Christmas trees but rather to have equal representation - something, I thought, we all stood for. Maybe not.

I do not stand for equal representation at Christmas.

A menorah? Sure. It's a Jewish holiday.
A manger? Yes. It's Christmas.
Any OTHER religious symbol? NO. It's not their holiday, and we shouldn't have to pretend that it is.

It's not bigotry to suggest that people shouldn't parade Russian flags on July 4th.
