Hold Onto Your Hats – It’s Hanukkah!

So, what better day to post my Hanukkah entry than the penultimate day of the holiday?

Hanukkah was really flung into the spotlight this year, thanks to the adorable Maacabeats.  You must have received the link to their YouTube hit in a Happy Hanukkah email from just about everyone you know.  The oil lasted for eight days, but their festive version of Mike Tompkin’s version of Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” will probably be stuck in your head through Tu B’shvat.  But who are these Yeshiva boys and are they single?

His mother must have plotzed when he told her that he was putting med school on hold.

Poor Borenstein Boyz.  The Maccabeats really stole their thunder.  Bad.

Try again after your bar mitzvah, bros.


For all the mainstream coverage Hanukkah got this year, some people still don't have all of their facts straight.

Let's give her a break.  There aren't many Jews in Miami.



And finally, in yet another Hanukkah miracle, Krispy Kreme is making a komeback!

 After a too long hiatus, Krispy Kreme (KOA) is opening brand new locations, and is even offering special Hanukkah donuts.  This affects me personally, as one such location is not far from me!


We loved all the attention Hanukkah got this year, but it's not really the holiday that needed it.  C'mon Maccabeats, "I whip my lulav back and forth?"
