Why not a big menorah at Seattle-Tacoma airport? Lord knows, we could use some miracles. Apparently there will be one lit tonight at sundown, and every night through next Friday, at the Washington state capitol in Olympia, and there are other public ones around the country. It doesn’t have to be either-or, Christmas trees (or for that matter, manger scenes) or menorahs. Why not both? Why not a Muslim crescent or three during Ramadan? It could get out of hand, but it doesn’t need to, with a little common sense. The constitution says we have freedom OF religion here, not freedom FROM religion. Chabad-Lubivitch, for which I have had a soft spot since a memorable seder at Chabad House on the UT campus, has their side of what happened in the Sea-Tac airport controversy, and a good overall argument for religious pluralism here. And as for Hannuka, which begins tonight, you can Google up your own explanation if you need one, but this short Flash movie commentary is a winner by itself.
