Happy last night of Chanukah!
A good friend of mine, Aryeh S. Love, or as we like to call him, ASL, has started a new website called AryehLove.com (appropiately enough). It runs the gamet, primarily discussing Sports, Movies, Television, and Jokes. I'll likely contribute there once in a while (and cross-post here, usually), and it should be a lot of fun - for sure for us, hopefully for its readers too.
Check it out! Warning: Mozilla users may have a hard time with it; even IE users might, though probably not. It's just starting, and still under construction - he's not using anything easy like Blogger. Anyways, it's time to go. My friend
Oh yeah - if St. Louis wins, I win the pool this week, too. That would be a nice Chanukah present - almost as nice as the football menorah my wife got me last year (which I can't use for oil, but it's cute).Happy Chanukah, and happy new year. May all our lives be enlightened.
What are you doin for your wifes Parsha?
ReplyDeleteLOL... Good question! Better one - what do I get her for Chanukah?! (It's been a crazy week, and what she really wants is not available around here.)
ReplyDeleteWhat's Parsha?
ReplyDeleteAhem, that's a really interesting menorah - I've never seen anything like that! The weirdest-looking one I saw at the Jewish Museum. It looked like a bunch of scattered eggs. An idea for next year: a gallery of menorahs, with each blogger posting a picture of their menorah and maybe a little story about it?
A parsha is a Torah portion. In this context, Anon meant for this week's Parsha, or Torah reading, which has the story of Yosef (Joseph) revealing his identity to his brothers.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the commentaries, Asher's daughter Serach was the one who informed Yaakov (Jacob), by playing a musical instrument. (Usually thought to be a harp, more likely a violin.)
Oh - some say she was rewarded with long life (some say immortality) for her action. My wife's name is Serach as well - not very commonly used nowadays, though she somehow knows 8.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning your pool - ready for the playoofs? Maybe you'll write a post with your picks for the playoffs and Super Bowl before the playoffs start...
ReplyDeleteIf the Giants can get some players back from inury, they could do well in the NFC.
My friend wants me to write an article on the playoffs, so I probably will.
ReplyDeleteGiants are in big trouble, IMO...
