New York has the largest population of Jewish people in the world. Whether or not this menorah gets vandalized will be very telling.

Let’s hope not. Sending people of all denominations good vibes for a happy & peaceful holiday season.

I’m generally opposed to religious symbols in public, but if it stands as a giant “F&@k You” to anti-semites, I’m completely in favor.

Hey, thanks. I'm generally the same way but as a Jew myself I think Christmas trees are great too. It's a nice time of year to celebrate us all, regardless of religion. So merry Christmas, happy Kwanzaa, happy holidays in general, or just have a happy season.

In this time in America it's a reminder that we are a country that is sworn to protect religious liberty and in light of the rise in anti- Semitic acts it's a reminder that it is everyone's patriotic duty to respect all Americans and to resist hatred

I feel the same way. I grew up in a mixed home (Jewish mom, lapsed Catholic dad) and to me, these just seem like ways to celebrate being alive and together.

I didn’t really think it would be hard to understand.

There’s a difference between normal tagging and anti-Semitic or pro-Nazi vandalism.
