Chanukah/Christmas
and the December Dilemma
by Rabbi Lynnda Targan
Shortly after Thanksgiving each year, the Christmas decorations
appear and the retail establishments in America thrust full-swing
into holiday mode. For many non-Christian minorities, the holidays
replete with religious symbolism present a dilemma. The holiday
season actually poses a panoply of dilemmas, questions and situations
that marginalize large sections of our pluralistic culture. Let’s
talk about these issues and try to connect at a new level. What
hurts, what helps?
Also, for Jewish people in interfaith relationships, there are
often very difficult dilemmas that occur in the home during the
holiday season. What are the hot spots? What separates and what
reconciles? How can an interfaith couple negotiate to a happier
holiday season?
