Happy Hanukkah, Swankers!
 

:cheers:

Just wanted to get this thread up since Hanukkah's just about here :)

Oy vey!

Hunny paprika!

You know, that would make some good chicken.

L'Chayim
:cheers:

So that's how you spell it!

L'Chayim one and all!

:cheers:

Its ONE way to spell it.

L'Chaim! is now I've seen it written

Oooh, that's as good as the "Yom Kippur Challah" sale I once saw!

if its wrong, I blame google.

Visible mojo for Alex, heh.

Happy Hanukkah to one and all.

There is no right way.

Whenever I hear the Dreidel song during "Believe" I think of CP.
She loves it.
:D

I can't believe anyone is that clueless! LOL!

Mmmm. Hanukkah Ham!

um...its ok if I dont get that, right?

Challah=bread.
Yom Kippur=day of fasting.

oHHHHhhhhhh....

*snicker*
good one

And if you follow the link you'll see that it was at a New York City deli. It's not like it was at some northern Minnesota Food Barn.

Alex: What market was that?

edit: oh, a deli. A DELI??? What kind of goyem deli does THAT?

Chappy Chanukka everyone!!

May Jesus, Jehovah or Bing Crosby bring you lots of gifts.

(I plead uninformed when it comes to Hanukkah, so a bit of humor)

Click the picture, takes you to a blog item that names Balducci's as the culprit.

Ah, an Italian deli. Check.

Bing Crosby? Is he like the Easter Bunny of Festivus or something?

Yeah, them stupid wops :evil:

I have now had my annual potatoes. I feel, um, logy. But good.

Happy Hanukkah, all. :) Lit some candles, called my parents.

We have a menorah at the library that someone donated. Wooden, stands 5 feet tall. I got designated to write up an explainer for staff and patrons alike, and I was entrusted with the blue and white candles. (psst - I'm the only Jew in the building.) No fire of course, but still.

They sell little Hanukkah outfits for dogs at Target as well as squeaky Dreidel plush toys and blue and white bones that say "Kosher" on one side. I didn't buy any because I don't know if Thurston is Jewish or not. ;)


Happy Hannukah!

Has he been circumcised? Does he pay retail?

visible mojo mousepod
awesome :snap:

Kevy you positively kill me...... and I now need a new monitor, mine's now coffee stained

Gives you a good reason to get this beauty:

Nope, but he's being neutered on the 14th. Mommy buys dog toys at retail....does that count?

oooooo..... Shiny!

Happy Hanukkah!


How long does it last? My calendar only lists today as the first day.

Considering that the holiday commemorates the miracle of oil burning for eight days when was only supposed to burn for one (more enlightened individuals can explain the story better than I), I would say that it ends eight days after today (which would be Wednesday, 12/12).


ETA: According to Wikipedia:

Olive oil? Seriously? I didn't know that part, cool (about the new oil being able to be made in that time and all that)

The legend of the miracle oil is a later addition to the story, but it's actually the miracle of a small band of Jews defeating the most powerful and technologically advanced army of its time that's the real miracle. (and that is a historical fact.)

"We're alive! It's a miracle! Let's eat!"

Or so I've heard...

That's actually the summary of many-a-Jewish holiday.

I suppose the Catholic faith might be the opposite. You are terrible sinners- starve yourself out of mortification! (And no meat on Fridays). Oh, and since you're saving all that money by fasting, you'll feel a lot less guilty if you kick some of it our way.......


If I were a better Catholic, I might be skinnier.:D

Too much information for me~!

A good reason to celebrate then! :)

Kosher meals can be mega yummy!

To all my Jewish geek friends (and non-geek if you can appreciate it):

I don't know why, but I keep reading the thread title as "Happy Hanukkah Sweaters!"

...and I'm the bozo that WROTE it!

Shalom!


Are you going to eat all your Hanukkah ham? Because I'll take it if you don't want it.

Our Disney menorah is in storage, so this year I picked up one that had me giggling for the last two nights:



Each ladybug is made of wood and is attached to the one in front of it with a little ball and loop. I've been adding one ladybug a night...
