By Micah Halpern
Wednesday December 18, 2019 I've Been Thinking: Christmas was celebrated in Israeli schools this year. A parent explained that: "Our son, who is in eighth grade, told us he doesn't understand why the school's staff is working to provide preferential treatment of Christian holidays at the expense of Jewish holidays. It seems that the school made a concerted effort to make the Christian holiday attractive, while neglecting and marginalizing Hanukkah." The parent described school exhibits about Hanukkah and Christmas commenting that the Christmas display was well thought out while the Hanukkah display was drab and rundown. Israel is the Jewish state. Israeli culture is Jewish. Interestingly, at 2% of the population, Christians are a smaller group than "other", which numbers at 4% of Israel's population in response to the question of religion. There are more "other" than Christians in Israel. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 19 December 2019 10:58 AM in Thoughts
