I took the picture below at a Gold’s Gym in Knoxville yesterday. I wasn’t planning to share it with y’all, but just texted it to my wife and daughter, with the observation that a menorah used to just be a sort of token inclusive gesture at Christmas, but that it feels different this year — almost brave — of Gold’s to put it up.

But then when my wife was there for yoga later, she saw two women discussing it — positively — and one of them took a picture to share with friends and family. So I guess it wasn’t just me who felt that way.

[That’s a nice reminder that Americans have decency and working moral compasses, at least outside Washington DC and the centers of Academia. — Ed]
