#Some Jews choose to embrace the holiday and while personally 😒 that's their choice and don't point to them as an example

In the Middle Ages in Christendom, Jews were often forbidden from appearing in public during the Christmas holidays, and Christmas Eve frequently marked the beginning of attacks on the Jewish population. Many Jews observed Nittel Nacht as a way to avoid leaving their homes, and to avoid giving the appearance of celebrating the Christian holiday.

Telling Jews that we should embrace Christmas as a secular holiday is antisemitic. These days, fortunately, it's safe for us to go out for Chinese and a movie but Nittel Nacht used to be an occasion for violent attacks on our community.

We don't forget shit.

And I respect converts who can't give up the secular aspects and fam traditions #Adhd in the tags remember the Charlotte converts to Judaism arc on sex and the city that was actually reasonably accurate and respectful? #Compared to the super fucked up Samantha bouncer at a bat mitzvah Jewish American Princess stereotype episode #Hey Japanese people solidarity on etymological convergence and sharing a slur #Anyway Santa Claus can suck it even though I look hella cute in that red hat. #post o' mine #Christmas #Jew stuff #Nittel nacht
