the thing i don't understand is that the whole issue came up because a rabbi asked if they would put up a Menorah. i don't think that is an outrageous request, jsut one, similar in size to the main tree in the airport and the local jewish league even offered to supply and help hang it properly.
so what's the big deal? why not just include the people making the request instead of excluding everyone?
maybe i jsut have too much common sense or don't care enough about one particular holiday over the other, but it would have made sense to me to jsut put the thing up.
