HAPPY CHANUKAH TO YOU!!!!!
You must remember this,
A bris is still a bris,
A chai is just a chai.
Pastrami still belongs on rye,
As time goes by.

With holidays in view,
A Jew is still a Jew,
On that you can rely.
No matter if we eat tofu
As hours slip by.

Old shtetl customs, never out of date.
All those potatoes mother has to grate.
Honey, tsimus, latkes, chopped liver on our plate
The best that gelt can buy.

Some would send us to perdition,
But we're strengthened by tradition,
That no one can deny.
We roam, but we recall our birthright,
As time goes by.

Dreidels and chocolate, never out of date.
Ancient Jewish stories that we all relate.
Blue-and-white giftwrap, everything that's great?
And festive chazerai!

It's still the same old Torah,
It's still the same menorah,
We've latkes still to fry.
It's at yomtov when we feel most blessed,
As time goes by.

HAPPY CHANUKAH

Frankly, it would never have occurred to me to rhyme "as time goes by" with "chazerai". http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

In the Hebrew-dubbed version of "Casablanca", do they play "Hatikva" instead of the "Marseillaise"? Just wondering.

Happy Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah from deep inside the Midwest...

and another Happy Hanukah, from the great state of Wisconsin (today).

MEOWY C/HANUKKAH FROM the Cats and Me-Ow!

Will celebrate with friends this weekend.

And OMNI for Rich G... that line about Casablanca almost made me choke on my morning PEPSI! You are brilliant!

Happy Chanukah!!!

Catman: It's just that my synapses are connected together in unusual ways.

I thought for a moment that I might have committed the serious crime of anachronism, since the movie is set during World War II and the State of Israel was founded in 1948, but it turns out that the song "Hatikva" was written in the 19th Century.

And this wasn't really OMNI: The connection is the tune to which Mikey1003's Happy Chanukah song is written. (I confess to singing it out loud just to convince myself the meter was correct.) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Happy Hanukkah from Down Under!

Chag Sameach!!!

By the way can gelt be exchanged on Coupon Connection? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
