'New Years' Eve (aka Sylvester) is still NOT KOSHER!

Santa Claus has the same roots as Nazism.

Listen folks. I did not start this thread as a catch-all thread for exposing the pagan roots of some of Christian holidays. I respect that JTF, especially the English forum, attracts non-Jewish English speakers from around the world. I do not want to suggest that we appear to hate their religion (which we would have reason to do given the history) but rather that we want Jews who are born Jewish to know that a Jew should have no part in the observation of such holidays. Today I watched a video about the connection between the Persian diety known as mithra and it was very interesting..

The Haredim in Israel called New Year's Eve "Sylvester" to discourage Israelis from celebrating it but it backfired. Now they not only celebrate it but do so while rather than call it the secular/civil new year (Rosh Hashana Izrachi), they do so while invoking the name Sylvester. They call in Hebrew "HaSilvester" which means The Silvester. They don't even know what it means.

I actually saw a little bit of a documentary on PBS today that mentioned that (Mithra). It was talking about Bar Kochva and Xtians not accepting him as Mashiach because of Yeshu and how Judaism and Xtianity further diverged and how Romans had Xtians killed in gladiator fights by animals in The Colliseum. And it started to say how they eventually added pagan things into Xtianity to attract pagans to convert. Even many Xtians know the truth and don't celebrate X-mas. It was banned from New England by the Puritans who celebrated Thanksgiving and they would be appauled how the commercial industry now makes Thanksgiving as the start of the X-mas shopping season.

This short video explains a little about the myth of mithra and its similarities to the Christian messiah...
