Is it OK for a Jew to celebrate Christmas?

[Joe Gutfeld]

Since the holiday season is now upon us in the United States, I would like to know from you all if it's OK for a Jew to celebrate Christmas.  I, as a Jew believe that it's disgusting that a Jew does so.  Irving Berlin who wrote the song White Christmas, celebrated not only Christmas but Easter as well.  Do you find it disturbing that a Jew celebrates both holidays every December?

Once an idol is not worshiped anymore, it is no longer classified as an idol that one must be concerned about. The Christian idol is alive and well.

We are free not to. I actually learned today and was somewhat surprised by what the Rama says (as opposed to the Shulhan Aruch)

Is it ok to celebrate the cold weather?  Why not?

Tell that to songwriter Irving Berlin.

Tell that to all the Russians here in Israel who claim to be Jews with their Xmas trees oops I mean yolkas!!!!

 No way and that is that! If anything,
 celebrating Hanukkah and what it truly
 symbolizes is acceptable.

Perhaps another question might clear things up.

Can Jews celebrate Thanksgiving, Veterans day, Fathers day, Mothers day,  etc...?
Or perhaps, can Jews celebrate any day besides Jewish holy days? Birthdays?

[Binyamin Yisrael]

Chaim says Jews can't celebrate American holidays. There are rabbis that permit it including Thanksgiving. Mother's Day and Father's Day are okay. Ask Chaim on Ask JTF if he thinks it's okay. Birthdays are also okay.

[ChaimBenMordechai]

NO!!!!!!

Only ones that would are these "Jews For Yoshke" retards...and I do NOT consider them to be Jews.

For a Jew to write a song celebrating a goyische holiday, makes me believe that Berlin was a self-hating Jew. Why not write a song about Yoshke at Easter while you're at it?

Not only Irving Berlin wrote white christmas but also Easter parade.  He also celebrated both holidays.

The guys last name was BERLIN...lolol. It's a name like Donny Deutsch. Its bad enough that so many of us have surnames from other peoples heritages and lands with no reference to Israel or the Holy Bible, but a name like BERLIN, i mean come on these people are destine to be self haters to highest degree because their ancestors who took these so called 'family names' were total self haters who were dying to fit in with people who hate us. Jews are broken people even down to most of our names. The vast pagan world has psychologically destroyed us.   

[Binyamin Yisrael]

They had that name before the Holocaust. I looked it up. It turns out they are Russian Jews and took the name Berlin when they came to the US so they are not German.

Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin; Yiddish: ישראל ביילין‎;[1] May 11, 1888[2] – September 22, 1989) 

I wonder if he is related to Yossi Beilin, the architect of the Oslo abomination.

[Judah Katz]

His parents were so proud they named him Israel and he couldn't even handle that, how lame. I hate how looted our biblical names are and especially hate when blacks steal our names, even if its David.
