It's that fucking time of year again.

There are billboards up everywhere advertizing a Christian Seder being held at the Von Braun Center.  Yes, let's just appropriate Jewish religion and culture and the act out the deeply sacred traditions of a religious group that has faced thousands of years of persecution at the hands of Christians, and let's do it in a building named after a Nazi!  I think profanity is an entirely appropriate response, no?

I also look at who's doing the brush off. When I talk to other Jewish people, they're as pissed as I am. This is apparently the sixth year that this Christian Seder has been held there, and it has garnered bitter protests from the Jewish community every time (something I didn't find out until after I posted this entry) and the Christians who organize it just tell us to sit down, shut up, and stop ruining their fun. There's also this underlying current of anger at the Von Braun Center's name and the fact that it's the town's main event center.
