Pasadena Mall Displays XMas Tree, Bans Menorah

Paseo Colorado, the open-air mall in Pasadena, has become the latest battlefield in the nation's culture wars, though this time, it's Jews -- not conservative Christians -- who are crying foul.

To the disappointment of local Jews, the management of Paseo Colorado is banishing an annual Hanukkah menorah display, saying religious symbols are not appropriate at the shopping center, the Pasadena Star-News reported Thursday.

But Paseo will continue to feature its towering Christmas tree, which the management says is not a religious symbol, according to the newspaper.

The mall has displayed the 13-foot-tall menorah for the past three years.


No more Hanukkah menorahs!!!! Everrrrrrr!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays!
