 The rabbinic term for Christmas Eve is Nittel Nacht, a night they regard as accursed

Christmas is a problematic time for Orthodox rabbis and their followers since it celebrates the birth of the Messiah they despise. We have researched the relevant Christmas-hating  halacha (law) and minhag (custom) and submit them to the public for the purpose of the advancement of learning and the defense of the Name of Jesus Christ. We challenge any ordained Orthodox rabbi to debate our facts. This has not happened, however. The response has been ever more behind-the-scenes pressure to censor our work and make it more difficult for people to access it. 

Christmas-hating halachos and minhagim

• There is a rabbinic tradition of refraining from marital relations on Christmas Eve (Nitei Gavriel Minhagei Nittel 5:1).According to Rabbi Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism, to conceive a child on Christmas Eve will result in the birth of either an apostate or a pimp (Sefer Baal Shem Tov Vol. 2:43a).

• The most prominent rabbinic custom commonly observed on Christmas Eve is to abstain from studying the “Torah” (i.e. Talmud). There is an anxiety that one’s Talmudic study may unwillingly serve as merit for Jesus’ soul, corresponding to the rabbinic teaching that studying the Talmud gives respite to the souls of all the wicked.

• Refraining from Talmud study on Christmas Eve also serves as a sign of mourning, corresponding to the rabbinic belief that Jesus “was a false messiah who deceived Israel, worshipped a brick, practiced the magic he learned in Egypt” (Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 107b); and “was born of a harlot who conceived while she was niddah (menstruating)” (Babylonian Talmud, Kallah 51a).

• There is a Talmudic custom of eating garlic on Christmas Eve. The reason for this is attributed to the odor of the garlic, which is reputed to repel the demonic soul of Jesus, which is supposed to wander on Christmas Eve (cf. Nitei Gavriel Minhagei Nittel).  

• Another rabbinic custom in Orthodox Judaism is to make toilet paper on Nittel Nacht (Christmas Eve) as an insult to Jesus, a practice made popular among Hasidic Judaics by the Chiddushei Harim (cf. Reiach Hasade 1:17). 

Contrast these grostesque “Nittel Nacht” mockeries with the heavenly story of the Holy Family in Bethlehem: the radiant Virgin and Christ child, humble shepherds, and angels offering glad tidings of peace on earth to men of good will. Frankly, there is no comparison between Talmudic Judaism and true Christianity, and those who attempt to assert that Christianity has ecumenical similarities with the religion of the Talmud are more deluded than the degraded practitioners of Nittel Nacht. 

This year Christmas Eve falls on a Monday. As you merrily celebrate the birth of the Messiah of Israel this Christmas Eve with friends and family, spare a thought and a pray for the pitifully bitter and tormented toilet paper-making Talmudists whose “colorful Christmas Eve custom” will not be reported by the New York Times or CNN. The Orthodox rabbinic loathing for Christmas is the right kind of hate-filled bigotry. 

Rabbinic detestation of Christmas is also reflected in the rulings of modern American Federal judges: a 1989 Supreme Court case about a nativity scene in a Pennsylvania government building banned the crèche but permitted a Hanukkah symbol; a 2006 federal appeals court decision in New York forbade a Nativity scene in a public school but permitted a Hanukkah symbol.

Where are the defenders of King Jesus?

Rabbinic Hanukkah: A man-made tradition of self-worship 

Hanukkah is a Talmudic holiday that is a burlesque of the Biblical account of the Maccabees. Hanukkah is celebrated  cursorily  in  the  Israeli state and observed in the United States as competition for Christmas, in order to symbolically assert the supremacy of Klal Yisroel (the Judaic people) over the rest of humanity. The secret of Hanukkah was disclosed by Rabbi Levi Isaac ben Meir of Berdichev (renowned as “the Kedushat Levi” after his eponymous treatise), a prominent eighteenth century halachic (legal) authority. Rabbi Meir revealed a secret known only to a few: that lighting the Hanukkah menorah does not commemorate the victory of the Biblical Maccabees.  

The arcane traditional doctrine of Chazal (i.e. the “sages” of the Talmud) concerning Hanukkah is that it commemorates God’s “delight in the Jewish people” themselves, and their vainglorious celebrations. The secret teaching of Hanukkah is that God supposedly provided a mythical eight days of oil not as a means of facilitating a victory, or of guaranteeing the successful completion of a sacred duty, but rather as a sign (halacha osah mitzvah), of His continuing adoration of the Judaic people, which all the rest of us are supposed to emulate, as we do indeed whenever a menorah is erected where a Nativity scene is banned. 

Hanukkah is Talmudism’s principal means for pushing the religion of the Talmud into the civic life of our nation in December, at a time when Christianity and its symbols, such as Nativity scenes, are increasingly marginalized or banned completely from the public square, in favor of menorah lightings, “Sanny Claws” and the collective jingle of cash registers. The lower Jesus, Mary and Joseph are made to descend during the Christmas season, the higher the Menorah and the Judaic self-worship it represents rises.

The Hanukkah menorah is not a symbol of a Biblical occurrence. Hanukkah is a man-made Talmudic tradition intended for self-idolatry. It represents the victory not of the Maccabees over the pagans, but of the selective memory of the rabbis over history. Hanukkah is an enduring commitment to the dark racial and religious conceit of the rabbinic Zionists, disguised as holiday light and cheer for all, and as such it is a kind of abbreviation for and summation of the strange god of self-adulation which is the central idol of the votaries of Orthodox Judaism, and the central violation of the First Commandment of Exodus 20:3: לא יהיה־לך אלהים אחרים על־פני. 

Christians are the true sons and daughters of Abraham who celebrate in the public square our gratitude to Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and Sovereign of all Creation. Rejoice! “For unto you is a born a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

Hoffman replies to a critic of this column

"It’s very interesting that Michael Hoffman, who is a Catholic, takes such a negative stance against Hanukkah.  Especially when ones considers that the New Jerusalem Bible, the Catholic version of the Bible, contains the apocryphal book of I Maccabees. The rededication of the Jerusalem Temple described in I Maccabees 4:36-59 is the origin of the Jewish feast of Hanukkah.  These same events surrounding the origin of the celebration of Hanukkah are described in the Daniel 11:20-35.  There is also New Testament support for Hanukkah.  In John 10:22-23, Jesus Christ Himself was in the Jerusalem temple on Hanukkah." — James C.

Dear James:

Granted, the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple described in I Maccabees 4:36-59 is the origin of the Israelite feast of Hanukkah.  

However, the Orthodox rabbinic-Judaic Hanukkah exploits the Biblical story of the Maccabees merely as a cover for a holiday of self-worship which is not the point of the Biblical feast, needless to say.

Hanukkah celebrations in our day are mainly dictated by rabbinic, and not Biblical sources, as I have specified with relevant citations from halachot and minhag.

There is a Biblical Hanukkah and a Talmudic Hanukkah. There is a Biblical Noah and a Talmudic Noah. There is a Biblical Moses and a Talmudic Moses. In each case the Talmudic (and post-Talmudic) Biblical events and patriarchs are burlesqued and falsified. To imagine that such founts of falsification as the historic rabbis of Orthodox Judaism are faithfully channeling the Old Testament holidays and beliefs is, I regret so say, exceedingly gullible.
