(haipo) - The municipality of Haifa posted notices on the municipal bulletin boards to mark the events of the month of December. In the ad you see the symbols of the Jewish holiday, the Hanukkah and the jar of oil, and the symbol of the Christian holiday, the fir tree, but the Muslim holiday and its symbols are absent from the ad. On the squares they actually placed the Muslim symbol.
The events of the month of December will replace the holiday events of the holidays this year
The municipality decided this year, not to produce the holidays in it while Tobi Benino is fighting fierce battles in the heart of Gaza and the north is threatened by Hezbollah missiles. This will be the first time that the holidays will not be celebrated in the city since the holiday events of the holidays began in 1993.
The holiday events of the holidays are events that take place throughout the month of December and mark the December holidays of the three religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The goal is to express the character of Haifa as a mixed city. The festival attracts hundreds of thousands of people to Haifa every year, who wander between the various stands, see the performances and enjoy the special atmosphere.
The holidays that are celebrated in the holiday events are Hanukkah, Christmas and the month of Madan and Eid al-Fitr, the date of which varies according to the Islamic calendar. Over the years, the events have moved between several areas in Haifa, but most of the events are held in the neighborhoods of Wadi Nisnas and the German Colony. On Ben Gurion Boulevard in the central square they place menorahs, a fir tree and a Muslim symbol with a crescent moon above it.
Former mayor Yona Yahav: a tradition of hope and optimism cannot be erased
Former mayor Yona Yahav believes that the decision to cancel the holiday of the holidays was wrong:
"The holiday of the holidays brought a boost in tourism to the city. About 400 visitors in the month of December every year. It became a symbol of Haifa being a cultural center for all communities and denominations. As for the municipality's signage, the tradition of hope and optimism cannot be erased. The problem with the conduct is the lack of leadership. Precisely in this period when Haifa is quiet, there is a possibility of Haifa becoming a cultural center for the whole country."
Yahav believes that it is possible to find signage that will give hope to everyone:
"Leadership is not expressed in signs, and that is not the problem. Instead of adding momentum and unity, Haifa is treated like a small city. I would like the city to once again be the northern metropolis of culture and creativity. That everyone would feel like partners. Even at this time, we can listen and sensitively create signage that will give hope and optimism all over the city and will fit For everyone. For me, the decision to give up the holiday of the holidays is like giving up the economic development of the city. Leadership should instill hope. Those who love Haifa do not give up on it."
Kudos to the Haifa Municipality Manager.
Yona Yahav, you are pathetic. It's a shame that during your time you didn't give yourself wise advice. We understand that you are trying to stay conscious..but enough, it's already embarrassing.
Friendly advice from me to you.
Why is some Muslim holiday taking place now?
What to do their holiday has moved and now there is no holiday there is a war
What is not clear about this is not the right time to perform these celebrations? Do you think it makes sense to celebrate with this heavy disaster that happened in the country?? They would say about us that we are a detached city!! Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they are right!!! And the crescent moon does not appear because Ramadan is only in about two months. The truth is that it is very embarrassing to mention Ramadan every year, but only once in a few years it will be in December, so in my opinion it is unnecessary to say that the holiday of holidays includes it.
Time for everything. including religious symbols.
So, in Israel, not the year 2023.
In which Muslims abused, murdered and injured thousands of Jewish Israelis and hundreds of innocent Arabs (not as part of self-defense) in Israel, and this, to my understanding, while identifying with Islam.
I will never forget I came to the Mayor's Sukkot at the film festival designed to obscure Sukkot. Yona Yahav entered and said why am I going to sit in this "Shamata" nobody cares Sukkot, next time bring a collapsible Sukkah, it's a shame to waste on an empty Sukkah. Mitzna and Yahav were engaged in emptying Haifa of Jewish content - they wanted 'multicultural' - which for them is to erase the Jew.
Yona Yahav and mayors, whoever they may be. We ask for heat and no. not to reduce our holidays. I was always angry. The Hanukkah holiday was joined by the Christmas holiday and later the Islamic holidays
quite. We are Jews from a Jewish land, we will celebrate our holidays with love. All other non-Jews will celebrate with fun with all kinds of signs', in their area of residence. Freedom to detail a tent that we will hang big signs and the minutes of their son is not. We should be proud of our holidays. Because if we don't invest all our holidays why should they care. The Jews in his opinion confuse being Jews. From October 7th we are proud to be Jews in our most amazing country in the world. Yisrael lives.
It is so typical for non-religious people to play pretend while what they are doing upsets people of all religions. That is, the guardians of the religion.
Ramadan falls in the month of March-April.
Hanukkah is also over a long time ago!
But you are due to the power we will celebrate in December - to throw up
There is nothing more degrading to religion than to play with it according to whims
There is nothing educational about celebrating Hanukkah month
The whole essence of this holiday is exactly on a certain date neither before nor after.
It is true that there is talk of an event for a full week due to the fact that one of the days it starts.
But you apply something by force.
Everyone who asked them about the menorahs in the squares said it was irrelevant and even many secular and religious alike claimed that these specific menorahs were really ugly.
Let's put Christmas inside the menorah
The public is not stupid, the religious people do not tolerate what you did
Of course, the fincha judges won't tell the mayors that
It's time . Any non-Jewish signage should be removed!!!
Yona Yahav you are a cheap populist! Klish and the municipality decided correctly, and you and your fellow business enthusiasts are wrong
There is no reason to celebrate when there is a war and people die every day.
Who was the fool who brought down the Muslim crescent?
I would not give a high score to joint celebrations of Islamic holidays. In our era, the dominant interpretation of the dominant majority that controls the power of the arm over the interpretation of Islam is the destruction of Israel, the destruction of the Jewish people and the destruction of Christians and other infidels in a violent Nazi way. In short, the destruction of Western culture and the destruction of Judaism and Satan's control over the free world. Few are the forces of individual Muslim heroes in the world who reject the leading and dominant interpretation that Satan controls over the Muslim world. That's why I wouldn't celebrate with them, what is there to celebrate? About the atrocities of the Safed riots in 1834, about the atrocities of the events of 1929 which are similar and identical in their main part to the atrocities of Simchat Torah 7.10.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX? Is that what you want to celebrate? On the spilled Jewish blood? About those Bedouin Muslims who shed their blood in the name of the devil who is supposedly included in Islam? For the blood of the Thailanders who did not accept Satan's rule? This should be celebrated during the war????
I hope you still remember that this is a Jewish country. The respect of the other religions is in their place and no one wants to harm them, God forbid. Why are the religions mixed up? Mixing religions is very strange, certainly unacceptable. It should be remembered that history does not usually give good marks to the other religions that were used as a tool to severely harm the Jewish people throughout thousands of years of bloody history.
Why is the Hanukkah holiday in the world, no city or village puts us among them Naibelmin and O Christians. Why do we always equate all their holidays with ours? We have a country and we will celebrate our holidays in a big way and not to reduce them.
The Haifa municipality always refuses to comment on anything. They refuse to comment. Maybe you and all the amateurs you brought with you in the tenders, some of them sewn, go home already!!!
Yahav, a place has become available for you in Heinrich Heine sheltered housing.
IDF soldiers are paying with their lives because of the escape of the one-sided Kadima party from Gaza, a failed and corrupt party of which you were vice-chairman... remember?
It is expected from whoever created the madness of Hamastan in Gaza to stop his mouth, if not to commit a sin.
What did you want them to display on the sign as a Muslim symbol? A decapitated body of a pregnant woman who was raped before the murder, from the settlements surrounding Gaza on 7.10.23?
If this nonsense in the middle of a war on 5 fronts is what Yahav's campaign has to market to us, it's probably not reset yet.
Let's remember that during his time 40 thousand young Jews and young families left Haifa and hundreds of their businesses - and the property tax increased only in his third term by 17 percent!!
Those who failed miserably to the extent that Elmo Yat received two-thirds of the votes should not be given the keys to fail the city of Yod a little. And who is financing Yona Yahav's shake-up method again - it is the petrochemical polluters and the refinery biz who are encouraging him to try to cancel the plan to close them in the Haifa Bay. He wanted to approve a crackdown and more pollution for them and he didn't have enough before he was kicked out and stayed out.
Good, now you have to take down the fir tree as well. Every Christmas the Christians massacred the Jews.
Did you write an undercover advertisement for Yona Yahav?
The one whose term of office increased immigration from the Galilee villages to Haifa is not ashamed to be interviewed on this subject?
Yona Yahav, if we had a hint of doubt whether not to choose you, with your statement you solved our dilemma, two of my family are serving in Gaza and on the Lebanese border, so are you serious??? Don't you stop a tradition even because of a war? If they were to continue with the celebrations, it would be ignoring the best of our sons and daughters who are fighting in Oz, it would be ignoring 2 kidnapped and murdered people from Haifa. So thank you Yahav, but you are not suitable for me as mayor
How can you celebrate when every day there are dead and wounded
How can you celebrate when every day there are dead and wounded.
Yaron Hanan and Yona Yahav would not celebrate the holidays this year. It is very easy to hide behind the keyboard. Enough with the senseless insults! They are looking for a way to slander right under the ground. It is also possible to say good words such as: the assessments of the municipality of Haifa with the arrival of the evacuees from the northern border, the cleaning of the shelters that God forbid we will not need them, the fight of Einat Beinin for a vacant position in Zan and the other factories that fired chemicals from the Haifa Bay
Yona Yahav, enough with the hypocrisy, we also decided not to vote for you, go see who supports us and who does not, who is protesting and who is not, enough to support our haters
A mayor who refuses to respond to the media does not deserve public trust. Anyone who ignores the media, ignores the public, is afraid of difficult questions and hides behind her one-sided tweets that are all meant only for public relations should no longer be in any public position and certainly not mayor!
Well really as if he wouldn't have done the same if he was the mayor in this situation
And also how he would do and cancel because it respects those who fight and those who lost their lives and dear people
And removing the Muslim symbol from the signs is also fine, especially considering that the Muslims are the main observers and also in the territories of Israel there are those who are terrorists.
Yahav will stop the poor attempt to get votes for the elections on the backs of people who are fighting.
He should be ashamed.
Maybe because Ramadan is not celebrated (not Madan as written in the article) in the month in which it does not fall?
I wonder what attack you would make on the municipality if they decided to hold the celebrations like in previous years. Can only imagine the heartbreaking expressions about celebrations in the shadow of grief and disaster.
"Haifa as a mixed city" means 3 religions? What about those who do not believe? Or only if there is an imaginary friend is there a relationship?
3 religions that used force to spread their madness at different times in history. Now 2 of them do "no no no" to the third who takes her turn. Oh no….
