Someone pointed out "it's right to left, the same way you read Hebrew". Can you say ***LIGHTBULB***?<br /><br />I didn't know about lighting them left to right though. I usually choose whichever way isn't going to burn my hand (i.e. left to right doesn't work if you're left-handed, I discovered the painful way)Isobel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741905109378100765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-72234199519365773312010-12-02T22:18:35.981+02:002010-12-02T22:18:35.981+02:00Risa, do you mean Voldemort?Risa, do you mean Voldemort?MOMZWIFEOFDADZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601935053533661519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-21840172333371100732010-12-02T20:21:43.608+02:002010-12-02T20:21:43.608+02:00Okay, Gila, I guess that you missed this song grow...Okay, Gila, I guess that you missed this song growing up and that they don't sing it in Israel:<br />"Ner Rishon, Ner Shaynee, Ner Shilishi, Ner Riveei, Ner Chamishi, Ner Shishi, Ner Shiveei, Ner Shimini. You put them in starting from the right, you add one more for every night, but don't forget when you start to light, you light them from the left to right."

Glad to have you with us. And thank you for that translation. Keep in mind I will probably forget it and ask you again next year.<br /><br />f/e - Have I told you recently that I'm appointing you as ABA's official spiritual leader? I think we should codify these gan party criteria. <br /><br />And I got a "fistuk" (pistachio) donut from Roladin - it was quite good. They have a nice filling-to-donut ratio.Gila Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974200761522148555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-887083725646923472010-12-02T12:34:30.973+02:002010-12-02T12:34:30.973+02:00wow gila you can officialy celebrate chanuka lemeh...wow gila you can officialy celebrate chanuka lemehadrin.<br /> lisa, i see your dilemna. tell me, was there a huge sevivon coming down from the ceiling filled with candy? did you get any jelly on your clothes? did you come home with all the stuck on candle holders in place? was there a maccabi rap song involved or conversely did the temani children sing a avraham fried type song with a strong ashkenazi accent? <br />gather your facts, and then we can see if, bediavad, you are yotzei. <br /> happy chanuka to all! great post gila, next yr send us the checklist in advance, so we have time. oh and what flavor did you get? was it worth it? ive found that the sufganiyot are also innocent victims of this dry weather.faith/emunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652345257064455632.post-33686357403627214332010-12-02T12:33:57.803+02:002010-12-02T12:33:57.803+02:00Drumroll.. 1st time commenting on a blog post EVER...Drumroll.. 1st time commenting on a blog post EVER-<br />Sacha li Balat- tells me quietly.

Did you at least dance with your child and did they eat a dried out sufganiyah minutes before bedtime?

1. Bough...ooh, me! me! call on me! I have some!<br /><br />1. Bought 5 lb bag of potatoes and wondered if it will be enough.<br /><br />2. Bought frozen latkes because you gotta be kidding if you think I'm going to make real latkes more than once<br /><br />3. Bought oil and can already taste the over-oiled aftertaste after consuming too many latkes and sufganiyot.<br /><br />4. Debated to myself whether "we're not getting each other anything" means we really are and just surprising each other because "after all, it's chanukah and no you don't have to feel guilty that YOU didn't get ME anything."MOMZWIFEOFDADZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601935053533661519noreply@blogger.com
