    Why do jews not celebrate christmas?
    sorry if i don't know, i guess there can be multiple answers to this.
    What is the religious reason and is there another reason besides a religious one?

    I know george castanza on seinfield mixed both together and called it festivus.
    What happens if you say merry christmas to a jew and do jews say happy hannicah
    to someone that says merry christmas to them.

    Does a jew end up with more presents over hannicah and what if they are poor and can't get one
    everyday, thanks

            You need to read the Bible. When Jesus was born their king send his troops to slaughter him and when he was a grown man they put him on a cross to die.

              Same reason I don't light a candle a day or spin tops. I don't wear a cap on my head or twirl my locks. I am not a tight wad or have a small pecker. Because I am no Jew.

                    It's more like .8%. I think might actually be retarded.

                    Christmas.
                    As in Christ.
                    As in Jesus Christ.
                    As in the guy the Jews beat the shit out of and then hammered to a plank and left to die.

                        Hey ttwarrior. How about this? Why don't the British celebrate 4th of July? Why don't the Germans celebrate V-Day? Do you get it now?

                            thats not any answer that comes up on a google search, and some jews do celebrate. People in this post are answering a question with a question. I do know some brittains that celebrate the 4th of july, but that was not the question now was it. Jesus was also a jew.

                                  none here either, in fact, i don't know anyone that is jewish. I just saw jj gold was and saw his vid so i thought i would ask. I dont' see why anyone would have a problem with me asking. ****, even in a google search, you don't get a clear answer. I saw more sites saying that they should then anything.

                                    ok tt, christmas is not a jewish holiday so jews don't traditionally celebrate it. they usually go to eat at chinese restaurants.

                                    if the first part doesn't make sense then you are not retarded, just plain old inbred stupid.

                                      Very simple answer here. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Those who celebrate it (before the days of commercialism and santa claus) believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Jews do not believe this. Jews believe that Jesus was just another ordinary man. Therefore, they do not celebrate the birth of Christ since in their eyes Christ was no one special.

                                            Hmm, so do Jews not believe the coming back from the dead on the 3rd day part?

                                              No sir. Jews believe the Old Testament of the Bible but not the New. They believe that God will appear in human form on Earth one day, they just don't believe it has happened yet (ie. Jesus was a fraud in the eyes of Jews).

                                                  As a Jewish teacher once explained to me Jewish people basically consider Christ an excellent example of how to live your life, but he was not the Messiah in their eyes. So while they view him in this regard they don't celebrate Christmas as the coming of the Son of God.

                                                    Who cares if it doesnt come up on a google search. It's common sense you doofus. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the savior of all mankind according to Christians. Jews do not believe him to be the savior, therefore they dont give a shit about his birthday, therefore they do not celebrate it.

                                                    If with religion you mean belief system, your belief system is your religion. Again, it matters not what it is. You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

                                                          WTF, I'm so surprised people actually didn't know the answer. Fukk this is so depressing what kind of intellect some people have. What's worse is they probably have decent jobs and are getting paid decent salary when they deserve to go back to school.

                                                            Is this a real question, or is this an inside joke I'm not a part of?

                                                              Most jewish people I know are ethnically Jewish, not religiously, so they do celebrate Christmas.

                                                              Hannukah it seems to me has not always been a really important holiday in the Jewish religion, but in a heavily Christian society has become more important as something for them during Christmas season.
