how come it sometimes starts with a C? 12/20/2011 2:35:30 PM |

The first letter makes a hard guttural sound deep in the throat that some English speaking folk can't handle, so its just pronounced with an H instead of the hard "ch"...makes kind of a throat-clearing sound
Its just like chutzpah if you've heard other yiddish words.
NOTE: the first letter is the one on the right, we read right to left.

I think it needs to be explained just how Jewish of a game dreidle really is.
Before any player spins, each person puts 1 coin/piece of chocolate/whatever you're playing with into the pot. Only one player spins at a time. There are 4 possible outcomes: 1) Nothing happens 2) Win entire pot 3) Win half the pot 4) Put one piece into the pot
For those of you who never took statistics, that's a 50% chance of winning and only a 25% chance of losing, and you win much bigger than you can lose. The expected outcome (average gain/loss) for each spin is to win 25% of what's available. 12/21/2011 2:44:27 AM |

You know Asians don't have souls. There is no way they could be Jewish. 12/22/2011 12:43:59 AM |

I don't know if any of you would be interested in seeing this, but last night I performed in an evening of storytelling at the comedy theater where I work. The night was "holiday" themed so I represented Chanukah style:

My Israeli coworker, who never celebrated Chanukah while she was in Israel, is now celebrating it after moving here to the US this year. Funny thing is she also has a Christmas tree up in her apartment... 12/24/2011 12:54:54 PM |
