David Lee Roth lights the menorah
[Edmonton, Alberta]Song of the day: Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel - Jewish Traditional
Well, it's official. If I ever have the chance, I would LOVE to be Jewish.
It all started back in grade 11. I was visiting with one Jamie Scharfstein, and she asked if I'd like to stay for dinner. So, with nothing really to do for the night, I happily accepted. Sure didn't know that I would be joining her mom and Danni for a Chanukah dinner. SO amazing to be a part of, and I suggest it to anyone that gets the opportunity.
And then last night, I got to re-live the experience again, plus more.
Sorry Jamie, but Rachel's was the best Chanukah dinner I've ever attended (and it's not that yours was bad, but I just had so much fun).
We got to light the first candle on the menorah, listening to Jewish blessing songs, and then we had a FANTASTIC meal, complete with real latkes (not generic Casino band ones this time) and little Jewish chocolate coins.
Followed by the most relaxing musical experience I've had in a while: various piano and guitar songs, with a fire blazing right behind, and while it wasn't a long night (comparatively), it was definitely full.
The best part: that was night one. There are eight effin nights of this!!
"People say 'Jesus wasn't Jewish'. Of course he was Jewish! 32 years old, living at home with his parents, working in his father's business, his mother thought he was God's gift, he's Jewish! Lay off it!"

OMG I am SO proud of you for saying the Nun comment!! Way to remember your dreidle symbols, Cuffer! So proud.
Best night ever.
Feel better, sickly Egg Noggen.
*muah*
Actually if i were to actually join a religion, I'd seriously consider going jewish, I figure it would make me funnier, better at math, and all those other jewish stereotypes. Except I'm keeping my foreskin.
