To be on topic, I totally want latkes but my grammy is out of town and she's the one who has the ages old basic recipe. She made 'em last week, but it's nowhere near the same.

Cool.if you want to know I would pm that to you
I think he was being cute,And when you are talking like I was to a yid who is acting like a shegetz, you schmooze on his level.
My faux yiddish is failing me here, and what's IMA?I figure here we don't have to be so much on tzitkus. Be like that on IMA where people will understand.
I like Chanukah 'cause my mommy bought me the coolest menorah that looks like aladdin's lamp and I have the round glass oil holders so it has this great old fashioned feel. My new silver polish is also totally awesome.But the lights are beautiful boruch Hashem.
kiruv->outreach. I went to the Jewish day school equivalent of a public school. Took anyone, stated goal was to introduce Judaism to all of them.Lacy33 said:Did everyone get that whole kiruv thing? I'm confused.
Right back at you.Nice to meet you. Happy Chanukah.

L' Chiam Yoily! :rofl:
There really is a rule on PF against using any language but English. I don't know how half the posts in this thread got away with it. Anyway, this one is easy. Shiker means drunk. Wabbi Schnidder is Rabbi Snyder, me. L'Chiam, as you know from Fiddler on the Roof, means "To life" and is commonly said as a toast before taking a drink. Yoily is the Yiddish diminutive for the Hebrew name Joel. I'm not sure, but I think that Lacy33 was trying to guess what my Hebrew name is. So my response was "No, Itchy" meaning that my Hebew name is not Joel, but Isaac.Lacy33 said:All I got to say is..

Before the war Warsaw (and Poland in general) was a multicultural country, now - wherever one looks - it is all the same. And - apparently - the mix can be so colorful.
If not for the fact it is 10:40 am and I am even before breakfast, I would start drinking.
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after it was desecrated by the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE. It is also known as the Festival of Lights, as it commemorates the miracle of a small amount of oil lasting for eight days in the Temple's menorah.
Hanukkah is celebrated for eight days and nights, starting on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. This usually falls in November or December on the Gregorian calendar.
The main customs of Hanukkah include lighting the menorah, playing dreidel, eating traditional foods like latkes and sufganiyot, and exchanging gifts. Families also often gather to sing and tell stories about the holiday.
The menorah is a nine-branched candelabra that is lit during Hanukkah. The eight branches represent the eight days of the holiday, and the ninth branch, known as the shamash, is used to light the other candles. The menorah symbolizes the miracle of the oil lasting for eight days in the Temple.
Hanukkah is a holiday that is specific to the Jewish faith, while other winter holidays like Christmas and Kwanzaa have different origins and traditions. Hanukkah is also celebrated for eight days, while other holidays may only be celebrated for one day. Additionally, Hanukkah celebrates a historical event rather than a religious figure or deity.
