How can she “say goodbye” to a tradition she never practiced in the first place? Sounds like an attention-seeker.
..................
So Sara, a Unitarian, and her non-Jewish wife have ceased to celebrate Chanukah. This is news to the NYT. I suppose they have to fill up editorial space. What else is there to write about? Election fraud? Hunter Biden? Better to pontificate about two Christians who no longer celebrate Chanukah, perhaps as a message to their liberal Jewish readers.
Could be. I can't imagine why her parents, Jewish father and Catholic mother raising her as Unitarian would have celebrated it in the first place. As to attention, she's a self described queer historian, not quite sure how that fits either. But it got her on the NYT editorial page.
Had the article been about any trendy pagan religion, the article would not have been published.
Had the article been about Islam the writer would have been fired.
Since the article was about Judaism it was published.
If the article had been about Christianity, it would have been on the front page on Christmas Eve...
Time for the annual NYT ¨attack a Jewish or Christian holiday” article. Their hit piece on Christmas is no doubt coming next week.
That said, this piece is really a reach. Usually it’s just the lesbian ‘rabbi’ presiding over some parody of a ceremony. I notice that they did manage to get a lesbian in there, of course, since this confused woman is supposedly married to another woman. Unless maybe one of them really identifies as a man?
Can you imagine an article about a white 3rd grade teacher titled “Saying Goodbye To Kwanzaa”?
Happy Number 11!
Adam Quark’s equivalent.
Disgusting. Two mentally ill atheist female perverts’ views. How many readers does the NYT still have?
Rest assured the NYT will have an article about Jewish families celebrating Christmas approaching Christmas eve. After all, it’s just a present holiday and everyone likes presents. All in the pursuit of demeaning religion. Judeo-Christian religion. As you note, a similar article about Islam would have consequences.
These days it’s all about Kwanzaa and Diwali.
We had a brief respite during the Trump term.
Before that it was Eid Al-Fitr under Grand Caliph Baraq.
The first paragraph says to me that this woman is so ****ed as to be utterly worthless.The opinions of worthless people mean less than nothing to me.
Then they came for Festivus-and then there was no one left to speak for me.
New York Times, The Home Depot, they all march to the same WOKE agenda. The Depot, headquartered in the snake pit that Atlanta GA has become, no doubt caved to Muslim activist groups who visited them and mailed them letters from their attorneys threatening lawsuits for discriminatory religious practices in its stores. Placing the corporation on notice the Christmas music it has always played over its PA system at Christmas is offensive to Muslims who practice Islam and shop its stores. So now the Christmas music is gone. Completely. No push-back from the Catholic Church on this or boycotting of the stores by Catholic do-it-your-self-ers or contractors. Nope. We all just lie down while the enemy disassembles us, bit by bit.
Both of them.
I’m guessing this story was published because it was a slow day for news. Why does it matter to the rest of us what holiday someone chooses not to celebrate?
Stopped reading there. No point in reading the ravings of an insane person.
