Reply to comment by DfcukinLite in Meet the Guy Behind 34th Street’s First-Ever Hanukkah House by aresef

As mentioned above, it’s nice not feeling forgotten when American society and pop culture are wrapped up in the Christmas mishegas - especially with the spike in antisemitism. But personally, in no way, shape, or form would I go out and buy massive Hanukkah decorations - especially since Hanukkah is one of the least important holidays on the calendar

Moral of the story, there’s no connection between being/feeling acknowledged and there being a market for Hanukkah decorations (that undoubtedly would be designed by goys and get something incorrect).

Right, so it’s not your personal thing to get Hanukkah decorations/decorate- It’s not mine to decorate for Xmas or any other holiday for that matter either like a lot of other people in society.

But it’s some people’s thing, evidently, as this guy decorated his house with obviously mass-produced commercialized Hanukkah decorations.. that I’m sure he’s not the first jew in the world to decorate their property with decorations just like people do with Xmas… so clearly there’s a market.. and then they wrote this whole article about how it’s awesome they include a Hanukkah house for the first time.

I’m advocating for more festive jewish holiday celebrations/decorations for inclusion/exposure specifically for this time of the year and you all can’t get past your own bias and feels. I don’t get it. But you can all continue to be weird about it. Mazel
