Best Answer

A christian should partake in none. Ask a rabbi or one of your Jewish friends for their opinion and your own clergyman.

Answer:

Many Jewish festivals mark events in Jewish cultural history. Participation should be no problem. Others are deeply involved with the Jewish identity and participation requires a knowledge of the language and traditions. Being "just a gawker" would be seen as impolite as many Christians would feel if a crowd of atheists. Pastafarians and Wiccans sat in on their Chrismas ceremonies "just to gawk"

Should Christians celebrate Jewish festivals?

Christian answer:Jesus celebrated all the Jewish festivals, so if you truly want to imitate the son of God it wouldn't hurt. Many Jewish festivals foreshadow the arrival of the Messiah, so by celebrating these festivals you are celebrating the fact that the Messiah has arrived and that through his your sins are forgiven.Jewish answer:The only reason a Christian might want to observe a Jewish festival would be to understand today's Jews a little better, and maybe some misconceptions might disappear. Otherwise, there is no spiritual reason.

Jewish perspective:Judaism is strictly monotheistic, meaning it has one G-d.

May an Orthodox Jewish daughter attend her brother's first Holy Communion in a Catholic church?

Orthodox Judaism has strict customs against going into a Christian Church because of the worship of Jesus, which contravenes the Jewish tenet that only God should be worshiped. However, there are some opinions that preserving the family should trump these customs and so it would be permissible to attend. It should be noted that if the Orthodox Jewish woman chooses to go to church, she should make it clear that she does not agree with Christian theological claims by being silent during prayer and openly declining or ignoring Christian claims spoken to her.
