What LATKES have you been eating?

Like most Jewish holidays it can be summed up in three sentences:
We were oppressed. We kicked ass. Let's eat.
Purim is the exception:
We were oppressed. We kicked ass. Let's cross-dress and drink until we are so shit faced we can't tell the guys from the gals.

I always heard the Jewish holiday tradition as, "They wanted to kill us, but they didn't, so let's eat." Even GOD wanted to kill us for Shavuot! Whoo!ubarose wrote:

And Yom Kippur. Removing the eating part defeats the purpose of a holiday at all.

You're all joking , right?
This is some kind of made up religion on the fly isn't it?
I understand practically none of the 'in jokes' and I think you're all making up wierd words to freak me out.

Are you kidding me? That's just meat on toast. Disgusting. But hey, it's hand cut.Juniper wrote: Caplansky's Deli at 356 College Street in Toronto.
I went there yesterday afternoon, and all the rest of the day my tummy felt like love.

And they have Beau's Lug Tread Lagered Ale on tap! Happy Hanukkah, indeed!

Yes. It's like Scientology, except we have Neil Diamond instead of Beck.

Most of the weird words are Yiddish, which is a mash up of Hebrew and German. Since these are two very different languages the words are a bit strange. The others are transliterated Hebrew, which, since Hebrew has it's own alphabet, also produces some odd looking words, some of which have more than one commonly used spelling. Like Hanukkah and Chanukah.

Also, the criteria for being a suppressive person are a little more clear-cut.
