"The irony about those Jews who worry most about Christmas is that they are often the ones who are the least involved with their own Jewish identity. Jews who are grounded in their faith and knowledge, and proud of their heritage, cannot be threatened by the practice of another religion, no matter how ubiquitous it may be."

"assimilated liberal Jews...are the very ones who feel most threatened by a Nativity scene on a courthouse lawn, or the singing of Christmas carols, because they are the most alienated from their own religion and culture. The bigger the assimilation, the more they fear losing their identity by merely singing — or even hearing — 'Jingle Bells.'"

Great minds may think alike, but some of them think faster.
