Yes... we have significant Jewish communities here... but little recognition even though they share one significant set of books with the Christian community (the Olde Testament)

And even though we are supposed to be a non-secular country, we continue to but into only the commercialised Christian festivals (Easter and Christmas)
and one Americanised version of an Old Faith belief system (Halloween).

What about our rich multicultural, multifaith culture which is developing.

We are a young country, we should be making our own way (YAY - MATARIKI is becoming mainstream AT LAST) and not mindlessly adopting and celebrating the ways of other countries.

Whoops... I better get off my soap-box...


HAPPY CHANUKAH ALL!
