After a local Rabbi complained about not being allowed having Menorahs next to the Christmas tree at the town hall public yard, the town voted three times and now allow religious holiday displays on public place. Nativity scenes will also go up.

In a reversal, West Milford council allows religious holiday displays on public property - NorthJersey.com

What do you think of the towns decision?

I think Christmas trees & Santas aren't really religious displays. A creche or a menorah is a religious display.

West Milford has often been referred to a being in "God's country'....dignum et justum est.

As long as all religious symbols from Christian, to Jewish, to Hindu, to Muslim is accepted, it seems fair. Where it becomes absurd is if one religion is favored over another. What American would want that?
