If you ****ers would use Yiddish slang more in your posts we wouldn't have this problem.

We would, but, nu, There'd come a point you wouldn't farshtey all of it. We don't wnt to be tummlers, so we don't put much mamaloshen in our posts. And if we did, nu, we'd get bubkes out of it. So it's not really a Gantze Gidilla.

Fun Fct about Chanukah: It is only as well known to non-Jews s it is because it is around Christmas. It actully isn't mentioned anywhere in the Tanakh (Jewish Bible)

What is the difference between Tanakh and Torah?

What is the difference between Tanakh and Torah?

the Torah is the Five Books of Moses, the Pentateuch, Consisting of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The Tanakh is the Whole Jewish Bible, with 24 books (according to Jewish book divisions; Christian bibles divide these into 40 books) consiting of the Torah, the Prophets (Nevi'im in Hebrew) nd the Hagiographa (aka Writings- Ketuvim in Heb.). It corresponds to the Protestant Old Testament.
"Torah" could lso imply ll Jewish sacred texts, which there re so mny of, tht it would super large library to fit them ll.

My "a" key works sporadicly.

My "a" key works sporadicly.

Yeah...seems to work fine for important words, but not the average ones. What a co-inky-dink.

For the importnt words I press the key over nd over until it works. But, if I would do tht for every word, it would tke 3 times longer to type a post then if I didn't.

Chanukah Music!

Chasidic Version of "Yevanim" ("Greeks") (I actually never heard this tune until tody)
[YT]2vsCPcXoxJY[/YT]
Translation:
Greeks gathered against me
Then in Hasmonean Days
They breached the walls of my towers
And ritually defiled all the oils
From a remaining cruse
A miracle was performed for the roses [Alt. Trans: Lilies]
Men of understanding established eight days
For song and of rejoicing

Al Hanisim:
[YT]CW3uU0QQwjQ[/YT]
Translation:
[Thank you] for the miracles, the salvation
The heroism and the acts of rescue
And for the wars You fought for our ancestors
Back in those years, in these days!
