JUDGE RULES JEWS MUST DISPLAY XMAS DECORATIONS

Judge orders Christmas display
A federal judge ruled that a Florida town must display Christian decorations alongside a Jewish display.

Town leaders in Bay Harbor Islands rejected Sondra Snowdon’s repeated requests since 2001 to display nativity scenes alongside a giant menorah and multiple stars of David. U.S. District Court Judge Cecilia Altonaga ruled Wednesday that the town is favoring Judaism by displaying its menorah next to a toll bridge. The town must now write Snowdon and tell her how it plans to include Christian symbols in the same display.
