OT: Happy Chanukkah
To all who are celebrating, Happy Channukah! To those who aren't, happy holiday-of-choice!
After the year that 2014 has been we could all use a Festival of Lights around here. Whether you're team sour cream or team apple sauce, spin some dreidels, eat some latkes, and pray for Harbaugh to come home.

Is it a coincidence that Harbaugh has eight letters, the same as the number of candles in a Menorah?
December 16th, 2014 at 3:17 PM ^
I remember first hearing it in the the 90s!
December 16th, 2014 at 9:01 AM ^
Harbaugh is Jewish?

Oh and UM was co-founded by a priest.
GET READY FOR PAPIST CONTROL, PEOPLE!
December 16th, 2014 at 9:45 AM ^
Awww, he thinks he's papal.

For a second there I was thinking that's totally not cool, but then I re-read the post.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good guess. LD is a Wolverine. Go Blue!

The candles in the temple burned for 8 days. Harbaugh's contract is allegedly 8 years. Coincidence?! I think not...
December 16th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
on some Matzah ball soup...
December 16th, 2014 at 9:24 AM ^

I'm not even close to being Jewish..... but sour cream forever, applesauce never.
December 16th, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
December 16th, 2014 at 11:01 AM ^
I am a Jew, and to my father's chagrin, totally team sour cream.
December 16th, 2014 at 11:30 AM ^
totally what? sour cream? Remember, it smetna (just a little yidish for ya)
December 16th, 2014 at 11:23 AM ^
nearly everyone is "close to being Jewish."
Let's all band together to send JH a great big MAZEL TOV when he signs his shiny BLUE $49M contract.
/definitely sour cream.
December 16th, 2014 at 1:15 PM ^
Are they? I'd be curious to learn the mechanics of that. I'm sort of a mutt of Western European heritage, mainly Irish and French, some German and Polish, except that the Polish part is also French in a roundabout way. I don't know where any Jewishness would've had a chance to find its way in.
December 16th, 2014 at 3:34 PM ^
The "Wandering Jew" wandered all over the place. Sometimes people know there's a Jewish ancestor somewhere, sometimes people have no idea because hiding was part of survival.
But whether or not there are some genes hiding in there somewhere, have some latkes on us. (My Jewish roots include Spanish, Middle Eastern, German and Polish, with relatives in France, Australia, South America and who knows where else, but even I never had sour cream with my latkes! So you've got one up on me.)

Live to 100 like a 20 year old. Happy Hannukah!
December 16th, 2014 at 10:21 AM ^
Hope so. I can't take 40 years of this.

wishing a happy chanukah to fellow mgojews out there

As I say the prayer over the candles, I may have two ideas of Adonai in my head. knowwhatimean?
December 16th, 2014 at 11:28 AM ^
I've heard Harbaugh's oil would have burned for 9 days. I've yet to confirm with another source, however.
December 16th, 2014 at 12:55 PM ^
Happy Chanukkah, for all who celebrate it. My sister and her husband are among the many who observe both Chanukkah and Christmas. They'll celebrate the next 8 days, then our family and others will be over for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day.
I'm curious: is Chanukkah much observed in Israel, or more in the US and the West as an antidote/alternative to Christmas?
I know that Passover, Rosh Hashana, and Yom Kippur (and maybe Sukkot) are much more important.

Happy Chanukkah!
December 16th, 2014 at 1:36 PM ^
It's catching on in Israel as a "bigger", more popular holiday, mainly due to the prominence here in the US thanks to the timing of Christmas. Traditionally presents were given for Purim in the spring, but now, since there are so many American Jews giving presents in December, that's catching on a bit.
There are many Jewish holidays that are religiously more important, including all of the ones you list.

Jim Harbaugh...not a Jew!
