NO! I like the fireworks  :-\ Some Gentile activites are nice, I even enjoy the chinese new year, you want to ban that too.

How about accepting not everyone is Jewish, and respecting their cultures if it doesn't harm anyone else.

I think some here are a bit of a "kill joy".

Oh my I have just realised,  I am more left than the Doc  ???  :-\

Are we demanding that the people should abstain from their traditions?

Turkey must get out of NATO. NATO must get out of Kosovo-Serbia. Croats must get out of Crajina. All muslims must get out of Christian and Jewish land. Turks must get out of Cyprus. Turks must get out of "Istanbul". "Palestinians" must get out of Israel. Israel must become independent from USA.

   I think it should depend on the type of party. If it is an occasion where friends and family get together to have a good but moral time, I am all for it. If it is a bunch of people getting together to get drunk and have immoral sex, that should be banned any time of the year.

Of course New Year's Eve parties should not be banned.  That's one of the most ridiculous polls I've seen on the forum.  If you don't want to take part in a New years party, then don't, but that's no need to want to deprive millions of people of a legitimate celebration.  You can ban the party for yourself if you want, but wanting to ban the celebration for millions, even hundreds of millions of people is completely unjustified and would deprive many people of joy that they get from it.

Doesn't this completely go against the concept of letting gentiles run their holidays, and country as they want?  Why should Jews be concerned with the way gentile holidays are run?  What is next, are we going to tell Christians how to celebrate Christmas?  I don't see how the way people celebrate New Years is any concern to us.  It is certainly not something that we have or should have any decision over, whatsoever.

I don't really see the harm, its a cultural thing not a religious event.

Here in Australia any Jew, Christain, Pagan etc enjoys the event, if anything its the one time of the year where your beliefs are never taken into account, you are seen as just a person, an Australian.

I voted NO. Did you mean a legal civil ban on everyone or a religious psak for Jews not to take part in them?

It's no wonder secular Israelis are horrified by the idea of a religious state.

just because you weren't invited to one doesn't mean you have to ruin it for the rest of us!

I notice the embitterment by some on this forum when there are parties.  I know some people here become the way they are...when someone can't have something, then they accept certain rules that would disallow other to have the same thing so that they feel better and more empowered that they aren't alone...

However, in israel, jan 1st and dec 31st shouldn't be days that ISraelis ought to celebrate. It is a secular/non Jewish holiday..but the rest of the world is the rest of the world.

I puzzles me Doc, because no matter what has happen to the Jewish people they have never lost the ability to laugh and be entertained. Afterall look at all the famous Jews that create enjoyment for others.

God gave us a gift it would be a shame not to use it. Not so much celebrate the event, more of celebrate and enjoy the people around us.

I personally think that New Year parties are rather silly, but I think that banning them would be wrong, people should be allowed to celebrate when they want to.

No, it should not be banned. This new-year-party is as much religious as Kwanzaa.

It is a cultural event and it is funny  ;D (except the headache next day :'()
