The local Lubavich rabbi, Moshe Wilhelm, wants to put a menorah in Pioneer Square, which is the new "public place" in downtown Portland. Pioneer Square already contains an enormous Christmas tree. The local synagogues are all against this, basically for the separation of church and state reason. It will be interesting to see what happens.
