Would You Attend a Party in Honor of... Hitler?
Unfortunately, some celebrate this 'holiday' without even knowing why. Would you consider attending an event held in memory of someone who slaughtered our ancestors, our brothers, and our people?!

A history lesson: About 1700 years ago, there was a priest selected to serve as Pope. He was the first Christian leader authorized by Roman power to impose Christianity forcibly and eliminate all those who denied Christianity. He spread Christianity ruthlessly, killing many Jews throughout the Roman Empire. During his time, a dark era began for the Jewish people in exile, a period that peaked with brutal persecutions and blood libels lasting over a thousand years.
Do you know this priest's name?... "Sylvester." Does the name sound familiar to you?
"Sylvester" is the term used in Israel for the New Year's Eve celebrations on December 31. This date was set by the Catholic Church as a "holy" day of remembrance in honor of the Christian Sylvester, the first leader in the last two thousand years of Christian persecution.
Sadly, some celebrate this "holiday" without even knowing why. Would you attend an event in memory of someone who slaughtered our ancestors, our brothers, and our people?! Do you get furious when neo-Nazis celebrate Hitler's birthday? So why participate in Sylvester celebrations? Sylvester was one of the greatest haters of Jews throughout generations!
Yes, you go to a party just to have fun and spend your time enjoyably. But aren't you, unintentionally and unknowingly, becoming a partner in celebrations for a person who slaughtered the Jewish people? Would you consider attending a party in honor of Hitler's birth?
New Year's Eve is a distinctly Christian religious day with a pagan nature! Adopting this day harms the memory of past Jewish generations who sacrificed their lives for it.
For your information...
