Well I am not offended or upset hearing people pray or whatever to their
chosen deity or philosophy. I think that's called tolerance. Atheists
I'm sure are still thankful for something at a dinner table. Even if its
thanking the cook. No one should go unheard, IMO If a Christian can
tolerate the fact that Jewish people don't believe in Jesus being the
person Christians think he is then that IMO is no different to
tolerating the fact an atheist believes in no deity.

As does my brother I suspect but he never says it out loud. At funerals
and the like he will sit quietly while people pray and sign hymns or
whatever. He hasn't ridiculed Chrisitian beliefs since he was a young
(and rather radical) uni student at 18.

If Jesus isn't the person we Christians think he is, then what happened to his
body after death? Either everyone who thought they saw him resurrected was no
crack or it actually happened.

The dreidel game, Nes [nischt]-Gadol [gantz]-Haya [halb]-Sham (or Po)
[shtel], was played during a period when the Israelites were prohibited
from practicing their religion or studying the Torah when the Greek armies
of King Antiochus controlled the Holy Land, before the Maccabees defeated
them and the oppressors didn't have a clue!

Nick,

I am impressed!

When I was a kid I attended a private high school for girls run by
Yeshiva University. I had to sit for a 6 hour exam to get in and I did,
but that didn't mean I was a good student. I was born a rebel.

I attended my Freshman and Sophomore years and in the middle of my
Sophomore year, I got into trouble with the authorities because I had
organized a covert dreidel game for pennies. They called my mom in
(again) and she was not happy, but I caught my Daddy smirking behind her
back. Anyway, I didn't get punished as I thought I would, so the big
'ness' was my escaping. That year the 'sham' on the dreidel, for me
meant Manhattan. <g>

So true, Katie. My daughters range from 31 to 51. They and my many

I did. Central, Manhattan. It was fairly new and there was not yet a
senior class when I came in. The building where the school was (58th
between 9th and 10th) was an old boys school. Many years ago, after the
school I went to closed, the building was sold and renovated into
apartments. How many people can say: "my high school want condo!"

We played with match sticks when I was a kid. The chocolate gelt never
lasted long enough.

Today I was telling a friend about one Chanukah when money was very
tight. I got a toy the first night then every night after, I got a pair
of panties with the day of the week embroidered on them.

I never anticipated that the next night would be a pair with the next
day of the week on them. Each night I was excited to see what my gift
would be and I was thrilled with the panties every night for the next 7
nights.

I remember both that building (the 59th st crosstown bus passed by on its
was east) and thos 7 day pantie sets. They were a big deal when i was a
kid. The were so much cuter than those carter ones most of us wore all
the time. No sense of style at all, but they wore like iron! Of course,
durign the War, when rubber wqas scarce they used to make them with a
button n the side closure rather thana the elstic. If that button popped
of it was a total disater as you stood there with your underpants down
around your ankles. Not easy to deal with at age 7 or 8.

Wendy,

LOL at the underpants with the buttons.

I was born in '46 so I always had elastic on my panties, but they were
mostly Carter's "Spanky Pants" My mom would take us to the Lower East
Side to Kurtz's, a dry goods store, to buy underwear, pajamas and
'dungarees'. There was some kind of connection, I think it was from the
Young Israel.

I bought the layette for my first baby there. Also entirely Carter's
but in yellow as in those days one didn't know the sex of a baby until
it was born and someone looked between its legs.

I will be off line for a while as we leave for Buenos Aires and a cruise
around Cape Horn in the morning. Everyone play nice while I'm gone. :-)
