Otherwise we have a constitutional problem: non-separation of Church and State.<BR/><BR/>Nevertheless I think that the Rabbi was wrong to sue from a Jewish point of view: there's no Jewish obligation to put up menorahs in public. The Law is to put them up in your house. So he's pursuing his own thing, not an official Jewish thing. (Nevertheless under American law he has the right to sue - even if the lawsuit is misguided!)<BR/><BR/>I bless people of all faiths with goodness and joy.<BR/><BR/>YakAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-57523077445876537202006-12-11T19:27:00.000-08:002006-12-11T19:27:00.000-08:00maybe on st patrick's day, the city of chicago sho...maybe on st patrick's day, the city of chicago should put up an oliver cromwell exhibit, in the interest of equal time and all that...Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-86530372728275590542006-12-11T18:49:00.000-08:002006-12-11T18:49:00.000-08:00I'm gonna threaten a lawsuit comes July 4th when t...I'm gonna threaten a lawsuit comes July 4th when they hang the American flag since there are many illegal immigrants here that will be offended by it. We may as well start w/ St Patty's day since many people are not Irish. Heck, may as well start w/ Valentine's Day since not all are loved.Mercy Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460657808114487254noreply@blogger.com
