Posted by David of Broadway on Mon Jan 3 21:46:17 2005, in response to Re: ACLU's way: Re: Media Taking Christmas out of Christmas, posted by Broadway Buffer on Mon Jan 3 12:48:16 2005. Chanukah is "around this time of year" because the rededication of the Temple -- the event that Chanukah celebrates -- fell on the 25th of Kislev, which falls roughly around this time of year, usually in December, sometimes in late November.Chanukah is not a "big celebration" compared to most other Jewish holidays, except in the (mostly Christian) minds of those who assume Chanukah is the "Jewish Christmas." The Biblically ordained Pilgrimage Festivals and Days of Awe are much bigger celebrations. I certainly don't want the government putting up decorations on Sukkos; I can decorate my own sukkah myself if I so choose. |
