I really don’t feel the need to try and compete with Christmas. Luckily our daughter (now 7) is proud to be Jewish and also understands that others (most!) in our neighbourhood celebrate Christmas.

Funnily enough, one of her friends who isn’t Jewish is singing a Hanukkah song at her school’s holiday concert. The girl and this friend were singing the song together at a playdate here last week.

So lovely. And I think there isn’t a Jew on this planet who doesn’t know the feeling of being called out in some form or another. It’s so unpleasant, but I’m so proud of how we respond as a people – proud of how you respond – with strength and grace and tenacity. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing these stories. Happy Hanukkah!

I too was the token Jew…never had kids dancing around the Christmas tree calling out my heritage, but the pennies thrown at me sure did hurt. I very much relate to this story and I’m sure there are many of us out there who would too.
