Hi all!
Now what's all this nonsense about so-called "Christmas wars" in the US? Do some liberal/secular/"Reform" Jews have a bee in their bonnets about Christians enjoying & taking pride in their holyday? (I wish that the aforesaid liberal/secular/"Reform" Jews would take more of an interest in the authentic version of their faith before seeing fit to lecture those of other faiths.) This orthodox Jew says, "Ah...who cares?!"
Here's yesterday's press release from another orthodox Jew (who happens to be the Mayor of Jerusalem):
Oh, and to all my Eastern Orthodox friends here at OC.Net:
Merry C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s!
(When is Eastern Orthodox Christmas this year?)
Be well!

Here's yesterday's press release from another orthodox Jew (who happens to be the Mayor of Jerusalem):
Howzat?The Jerusalem municipality will hold its annual Christmas tree distribution on Thursday, 22/12/05, at the Jaffa Gate Plaza, between 09:00-12:00.
The trees are given free to everyone who asks and shows and ID (For registration).
The trees were donated by "Keren Kayemet Le'Israel — Jewish National Fund".
The Christmas tree distribution is a long standing tradition of the Jerusalem Municipality, taking place for dozens of years, and is symbolic of the way Jerusalem unites all three monotheistic religions.
The mayor of Jerusalem, Uri Lupolinaksi, wishes a Merry Christmas to the Christian residents of Jerusalem and a year of peace, tolerance and brotherhood. The mayor invites people from all religions to come and visit Jerusalem, the capital of Israel.
Oh, and to all my Eastern Orthodox friends here at OC.Net:
Merry C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s!
