Muenkel 0 #3 December 3, 2002 Good point Ori. Happy Chanukah to all our Jewish friends. I know it is 4 days late, but it is the thought that counts. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falxori 0 #8 December 3, 2002 Quote Alright then, Happy Finals... i believe i've said CELEBRATING ! then again, i'm sure some ppl actually celebrate finals, so i guess "happy finals" could pass also O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

Muenkel 0 #9 December 3, 2002 I meant, I don't think you're allowed to call them "Jews" anymore. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #10 December 3, 2002 Hmmm, what are we supposed to call them then, since I thought that was a label according to their religion, not just a race? (I'm serious, not trying to be sarcastic)--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #11 December 3, 2002 Dave, I'll be serious also. I grew up in a heavily Jewish populated area (North Shore Long Island). Calling folks "Jews" began to take on a negative connotation. Most people I knew never called themselves a "Jew" but rather said they were Jewish. This is just what I noticed. Perhaps some of our Jewish compadres can enlighten us. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #12 December 3, 2002 Quote Perhaps some of our Jewish compadres can enlighten us Yeah.....lets hope, cause I'm currently at a loss as to what else I would call someone from Israel. Hmmm....I had never put any thought into it but I guess if someone was American and of the Jewish faith then I would say they were "Jewish." However, Jews seems to fit for folks from Israel. Or just Israelis...*shrug* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #13 December 3, 2002 Others from Long Island are JT, Daizey and BillVon. Did you folks find the same thing? _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

falxori 0 #15 December 3, 2002 well i can't speak on behalf of the entire people but ... i dont really care, just call me Ori calling anybody anything can take negative connotations. it all depends who is calling and what they are trying to say. and i think that goes for every race/nationality/religion etc. P.S still laughing about the "Hebrew Americans", needed that "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

newshooter12 0 #18 December 3, 2002 While you're on the subject, can anyone explain when to light which candles on a Manorah (SP?)? We've got one at work, not sure how it goes though, and the resident Hebrew employee wasn't around to explain it. A co-worker walked by thinking the bulbs were out. After tinkering with it for a bit got all of them lighted and walked away happy that he "fixed" it. We all laughed later. matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #20 December 3, 2002 Each night of Chanukah at sundown the center light is lit. You also light a candle for each night beginning from the left. So, since this is the 5th night of Chanukah, the center candle should be lit along with 5 other candles starting from the left. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
