Reflections on the messages of Christmas and Hanukkah

[@KJBigBelter]

Moved to tears. I am so lucky to have both Christian and Jewish dear friends and family for the holidays and beyond.

[@marytheresejacksonlutz2533]

This was extremely moving. Both the priest and the rabbi spoke from the heart. Let there be light in all of our lives.

[@gram2977]

Amen. Peace, love and joy to all.

I am in my 7os. I was raised in a diverse church by Christian parents who believed all people are created in God’s image. I grew up in a predominantly Jewish Community. As the youngest child, I sat on the step and listened as my humble father discussed the Old Testament with our neighbor. My best friend, whose father was a survivor of the Holocaust came to our house on Christmas. Her parents invited me in on Hanukkah, I still remember the prayer in Hebrew she taught me when she was in Hebrew school. I raised my children in a diverse community and prayed that they would see all people as precious in God’s sight. Simple message by humble parents has blessed my life more than I can say. Every time I hear hatred, division, chaos, and violence promoted. My heart says, no that is not God’s way! 🙏🏽

Beautiful. By pure accident I was invited to Christmas dinner by a former rabbi and we lit a candle the first night. It was lovely.

[@angeladanis3764]

My advice to everyone for the end of 2024 is to read book Your Life Your Game by Keezano🙌🏼📖I’ve read it, and it truly changed my life. It beautifully shows how connecting with God and your inner self can lead to spiritual growth and family/career success. A must-read.. 🙏

I keep faith no matter what, I turn to you Heavenly Father to carry me because I KNOW YOU CAN CHANGE MY SITUATION. AMEN. I believe.

From Tel Aviv City in Israel's east, to old Bethlehem town where the Palestinians feast.

[@user-os7fi6bl6k]

really nice platitudes for people who have homes and families and money to spend on stuff.

[@xxcentrika2803]

What about Hinduism? Muslim tradition in the holidays?

[@fk1856]

And Kwanza

[@MrMatteNWk]

Have a merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, kwazy Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn and dignified Ramadan. And now a word from _our_ god, our sponsors.

[@godsbeautifulflatearth]

BREAKING NEWS... Jesus Christ is the Messiah~!!!

[@eddieg6436]

…….I know A LOT of people in Montana, and they’ve never even heard of Hanukkah!!!! 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤔👎🏻

[@bassrooten2217]

But you see there is the lie, god didn’t “choose to be born among us” we all are each individually God and are just different versions of the same eyes. I hate religion

[@martinhumble]

Who cares about the message, capitalism is more important

[@ronlacker326]

So sad we have to share Christmas the same time with jews.

[@lisarose7084]

Just about everyone in the xmas story was a Jew, genius. There is no xmas without the Jews, and there is no christianity without the Jews.
