I’m not seeing a Hanukkah thread yet, a fact that I found a little strange, given that today is the first day of the feast.
Of course, maybe I’m looking in the wrong forum. Whatever. Here I am, and here the thread is, wishing all of our Jewish Doper friends a joyous and prosperous celebration.
Family member: Happy Hanukkah!
Other family member: Yes, we’re proud of our Jewish heritage.
Me: Huh? We’re not Jewish.
Most of the family: Yes we are.
At least I learned about spinning the dreidel with a bunch of Baptists decades ago!
My Irish husband has decided to embrace his inner Jew by making the perfect latkes. Our Irish Jewish kids are happily munching on the resulting crisply fried potatoes.
