Our inbox at PunkTorah HQ was flooded this year with articles dealing with Jews, Judaism, and the Christmas season. Although Hanukkah came early this year, the Hanukkah vs. Christmas issue is still one that has to be dealt with, particularly in an era with increasing intermarriage and the reality of a global, diverse community.
So here is our roundup of Jewish themed Christmas articles, each asking a different question related to Jewish identity, spirituality, and the White Bearded Man in the Big Red Suit (and I’m not talking about your sleezy uncle Morty).
In Defense of the Hanukkah Bush By Chava Barner
A D’var Torah For Christmas (originally posted on Jewcy.com) By Patrick Aleph
A Rabbinical Student’s Christmas Story By Jean Meltzer-Maskuli
