OK! THIS IS net.religion.jewish.democracy! (AND YOU ARE HERE!) =========================================================================== Following reading of this article, you are cordially invited to hit the "r" key for the purpose of voting on whether you believe Thanksgiving, Halloween, and New Year's are holidays which you as a Jew should celebrate. I will summarize results to the net on Monday, November 19. This is the Monday of Thanksgiving week and gives readers 10 days to get their response to me. These are the questions: 1) Do you believe Jews should in any way participate in Halloween? 2) Do you believe Jews should in any way participate in Thanksgiving? 3) Do you believe Jews should in any way participate in New Year's (Jan 1)? 4) (If you are not Jewish, include this question:) Are you Jewish? By the way, another aspect of this poll will be to set a lower limit on the number of readers of net.religion.jewish. So respond even if you don't want to answer question 1,2 or 3. Don't delay! HIT THAT 'R' KEY NOW!
