husband says 2 me in his best super casual, even tones, “it’s probably a good idea not to put the menorah in tbe window rhis year
or have biden sign in yard next year, ok?” this is my husband in major panic mode. it’s not our neighbors we worry about; we know most of them by name, sight, dog or car.

but there’s an airbnb up the road & lots of people from downstate daytripping at a nearby state park cut through our neighborhood. plus delivery trucks & vans…he said he doesn’t think anything would happen, but in terms of safety of ourselves, our dog, house & grounds& cars, why make ourselves

Sorry to hear this. We haven't put up a political sign since Kerry-Bush in 2004. Somebody(ies) kept stepping on our sign, mashing it down into the yard, or pulling it up and tossing it at the house. We wrapped it in poison ivy vines, and it stayed until the election, but we never put up another one.

I rearranged my living room a couple weeks ago, so that the sideboard where I light Shabbat and Hannukah candles would not be in front of the living room window. I passed up on buying a blue and white wreath for my door, a lighted Star of David for my front window, and a Happy Hannukah doormat.

After reading this, I will be purchasing a menorah and putting it in our front window on behalf of your family and the others mentioned in this thread.

Our family's with you on this, Barbara. I normally put up a blue/white wreath on my door, a menorah in the window, etc... Not this year. My sister lives in a neighborhood with a high Jewish population, and she feels safe decorating. I live in a town with more churches than stop lights. I don't.

We are also flying under the radar. Red rural county. I can’t afford repairs to my property. I hate it here.

Heartbreaking but the reality until it becomes once again shameful to be prejudiced out loud....all varieties.
