cheehaw: yeah, a menorah in the lobby would probably keep too many Catholic Poles away and they need the goyim money. Oh, give it a rest. The theater is next to a large church, which in turn is next to a restaurant called Menorah. It wouldn't matter if there was a bearded guy in a fur hat and a black longcoat at the door, the tickets would still be sold out a month in advance because the performances are good.
The Chabad in Warsaw do their own thing; I never hear of them doing anything controversial here. They ask the President to help them light the candles for Hanukah and that's about it. Sorry that I'm not concerned what they do in Cali. I lived in FL for many years and I know we competed with CA for the duffus award every year, so nothing surprises me. There are lots of people in the States who are against Christmas symbols, period.
How about this:
In an effort to spread some holiday cheer, the Jerusalem Municipality on Wednesday announced that it would be distributing free Christmas trees to the capital's Christian residents in front of the Old City's Jaffa Gate on the morning of Christmas Eve.
a municipality spokesman said, "Just like the municipality pays for hundreds of menoras to go up all over the city during Hanukka, and just like we assist with preparations for Ramadan, we also distribute Christmas trees."
There are people of faith from the world's three major religions living in the city, and we respect them all and want them to enjoy their respective holidays.
