September 12, 2016 mgardiner

BADASS KOSHER: “They tried to destroy us, we survived, let’s eat!”

November 10, 2015 MAG Leave a Comment

It is a myth grounded in reality: if you ask 10 Jews their opinion, you get 11 answers. And it is not all wrong. Oddly though, if you ask 10 Jews what they eat for Chanukah, 10 will tell you “latkes;” maybe 11. They tried to destroy us, we survived, let’s eat latkes. Chanukah, … [Read more...]
