Do we have any jewish members? Also...why does Firefox underline "jewish" like it's misspelled? OMFG Firefox hates jews!
 
probably because its supposed to be capitalized. I figure that BBW does, my other sports forum has like 3 and its bigger then BBW so I'd expect us to have atleast one jewish member.

Heres a little backround on hanukah from guys on my forums<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>818 Ballers wrote: It's 8 days long (represnting the 8 days that the oil lasted). First night one candle, then you add another one each day afterwards (light each using the middle candle of the Hannukiah). Kids get a present each day of the holiday. Play games like Dreidel for gelt (spelling?), or gold coins, and you eat lots of potato pancankes (latkes). I think I covered most of it...any Jewish people on the site feel free to correct any mistakes. 818Ballers pretty much nailed it but without historical context. It basically started when the Jews had only enough oil for 1 night because the Babylonians had taken all their stuff and killed many people. But when they lit the menorah it is said that God created a miracle that allowed the oil to last for 8 days. On Channukah you have a menorah which holds 8 candles that signify each day that the oil lasted and you take the middle candle and you go from left to right (forgot why you do that, although I'd assume that is how the Jews did it years ago). As said by 818, you get a present every day and play dreidel for gelt which is basically chocolate wrapped in gold foil. The latkes is probably the best part of Channukah. If you have good ones you'll know what I'm talking about. My family usually doesn't play dreidel or any of that stuff because we aren't really that religious and it is usually something little children do, and we have kind of faded out of doing gifts every night.</div>
 
I think now may be the first time I'm envious of a jew...a gift per day, for 8 days?

I honestly haven't met a jew that I knew was a jew yet that I've really liked. There's one that sits behind me in math that's cool, but that's it. I just don't understand why they have their own religion when jesus was jewish. Wouldn't they celebrate his birth like the rest of us? f*cking weirdos.
 
If Jesus was a Jew than Christians should be Jews and not anti-semitic. You guys are the weirdos, but Christmas is awesome, especially when it's just partying with no religious meaning.

Jews don't celebrate the birth of Christ largely because they believe that Jesus wasn't the messiah. There are, however, Jews that do believe that Jesus was the messiah, and they are appropriately called Messianic Jews.It's mostly because Jesus was mostly geared towards non-Jews by those such as Constantine and Paul and such.

However, since my parents are jewish then I am technically a Jew, even though I have never been to synagogue and my Bar Mitzvah is more aptly described as a four hour basketball game followed by eating chinese food that isn't kosher. Channukah is not a high holiday, it's just so that Jews don't convert to christianity because they want toys. Ironically, Christmas isn't of any more significance to Christianity, as it isn't on the day that Jesus was born and santa has nothing to do with christianity. In the end run, years and years of getting less sh*t for channukah than christians do for christmas eventually pays off when you're given thousands of dollars worth of sh*t for your bar mitzvah (some families spend as much as 50 grand for their kid's bar mitzvah).

I think most Christians don't even know that.

I'm not trying to brag or anything, just trying to make my point, dreidels are not presents, they're games you play during Hanukkah. Now I suggest you think before saying sh*t like that because you have no f*cking clue what you're talking about. So be good or else Santa wont give you any christian sh*t like footballs and missile toes. We on the other hand, appreciate what we get.(To those who don't hate) Merry Christmas.No name calling - CB4
