I am eager to do whatever we can to support our local business but hesitant about the way religious symbols get co-opted or used to promote highly commercial and material tendencies that are in fact at odds with those symbols.” That said I would prefer that if a menorah is to be displayed downtown that it be done as a community event … and as part of a diverse multi-cultural program. Many in my community are wary menorahs have often been put up as a token effort at parity alongside far more prevalent Christian themed decorations. *Update: In an email to Baristanet, Rabbi Elliott Tepperman writes, “I am not opposed to the idea of the town celebrating Hanukkah. But I see no reason why it would pose any kind of controversy.” “If there are people who have problems with putting up the menorah, then we shouldn’t do it. “The tree lighting ceremony goes with the Christmas tradition,” First Ward Councilor Rich Murnick tells Baristanet. Not everyone agrees with that line of thinking. A menorah, which is “so clearly associated with Judaism,” Fried says, is not. Displaying trees is more a pagan tradition, more a township tradition.” Like the snowflake lights that hover over Bloomfield Avenue, the tree is considered a seasonal display. The Christmas tree is different, he says. I’m a pretty firm believer in separation of church and state.” “Displaying all religious symbols keeps with the Constitution and the law. “As a policy decision, the township should not decide on one particular religion,” he says. Fried says he can’t speak for any of them, but he indicated that they weren’t in favor of putting a religious symbol on town property. “It’s ultimately going to be up for future discussion,” he says.įried says he also reached out to Rabbis Greenstein and Tepperman of Shomrei Emunah and Bnai Keshet, respectively, as well as Judy Tomlinson of the Montclair Clergy Association. But, he says, it’s not likely the council can take any action on the menorah matter because the next council meeting isn’t until next year. Rabbi Baruch Klar of the Lubavitcher Center of Essex County asked Fried to consider the move, and Fried sent out an email to council members this week asking for their thoughts. At the request of a West Orange rabbi, Montclair Mayor Jerry Fried is asking council members to consider whether to erect a menorah next to the Christmas tree displayed every December on Church Street. ![]()
