    At least ya’ll get latkes and dradels and really neat candelabras, and Fiddler on the Roof.

    We get grape juice and … fucking still Corn Flakes, believe it or not, and… well I guess Veggie Tales is actually pretty good, not exactly classic cinema though.

    I have Jewish cousins lol, family gatherings growing up were basically mini culture shocks… how long will it be untill my dad makes an anti-semitic joke this time?!

          Also latkes and dreidels are typically only for Chanukah. For Passover we do matzo, matzo ball soup, and a lot of things information parked since we can’t have grains. For Shavuot, we have lots of dairy products. For Rosh Hashanah, meat in sweet sauces. For Purim, hamantashen.

            I did know the first part, did attend a Chanukah with them once. I have had matzo at various occasions, but haven’t even heard of the other dishes / choices for the other holidays…

            Sadly, my uncle (in law), he passed away from cancer when I was a teen, and my own family was imploding in other ways, didn’t get the chance to experience much more.
