A Very Jewish Christmas: Old World Jewish Christmas Traditions

The “December Dilemma” is a long-standing issue in America, but it also has deep roots in Eastern Europe, where the context and relationships between Jews and Gentiles were quite different. In this talk, Itzik Gottesman will examine the fascinating Jewish beliefs and traditions related to Christmas in the Old World.

A Hanukkah candle lighting ceremony and a kosher Chinese food dinner will follow the presentation.
