Buy iressa, Tonight (Sunday, December 21st) is the first night of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. As is often the case in Jewish history, Order iressa from canada, a miracle happened (the underdog Jewish forces defeated a mighty army), and so today we remember the event and celebrate - with symbolic foods of course.

Chanukah customs involve eating foods fried in oil, especially sufganiot, deep-fried, jelly filled doughnuts, buy iressa. And no holiday table would be complete without latkes (potato pancakes). Here in Zürich, kjøpe billig iressa, it seems like it's Chanukah on the table every day, Order iressa without prescription, lunch and dinner, in every Swiss restaurant you go. After all, order iressa online legally, many consider the national dish to be Rösti, Cheap iressa tablets, which is a side dish of fried grated potatoes. So does potato latke = Rösti . Buy iressa, While they may look awfully similar, Rösti and latkes are not really one and the same. They are both made with potatoes that are grated and then fried, παραγγείλετε online iressa.

Buy iressa, Eating potato latkes, lighting the menorah, handing out Chanukah gelt (small chocolate coins, gelt meaning money in Yiddish), singing songs... For iressa online, and playing dreidel, these are my holiday traditions. A dreidel is a four-sided top with Hebrew letters that are an acronym for Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, Georgia GA Ga. , meaning "a great miracle happened there." Spin the dreidel and try to win as much chocolate gelt as possible - or pennies or whatever "currency" you are playing with. Buy cheap iressa, In my family, it has always been M&M's. All players start with the same amount of gelt at the beginning, buy iressa, and each takes a turn spinning the top until one person has won all of the gelt. Here's what the letters mean:
Nun means nothing, so nothing for you, and the next player spins.
Gimel means all, so you take all, buy iressa. Billige iressa apotek, (All players then put 1 piece of gelt in the middle to continue.)
Hey means half, so you take half.

With popular wooden toy stores selling spinning tops in all sizes, buy iressa online legally, Rösti coming out of kitchens all over Zürich, Kjøp Discount iressa, and chocolate coins - well chocolate just about everywhere - I am thinking that this city is very Chanukah friendly. Now I'll just have to see if I can talk the Swiss into serving their Rösti with apple sauce .
Viel Glück to me... and Happy Chanukah to all .

Nice story…I love all of the interconnections between Jewish traditions and the traditions of other countries…It is always amazing to me how much influence both Ashkanaz and Sephardic Jews had on the cultures and countries they lived in…

I love it. you covered all the bases, and are most definitely ready to celebrate. So a very happy and healthy Chanukah to you, and all your readers who are celebrating. And a very Merry to all who celebrate Christmas. And of course, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
One more thing. My mother, grandmother and mother-in-law would certainly agree that Rösti ain’t latkes. I love Rösti, but nah, not like my mother’s latkes.

Very nice Kerrin. A couple of thoughts occurred to me while reading your post. A fun little linguistic musing is that while Dreidels in America do indeed say “Nes Gadol Hayah Sham,” it should be noted that Dreidels is Israel have the letter nun, gimmel, hey, and pey, which stand for “Nes Gadol Hayah Po.” The translational difference? The former means, “A great miracle happened there,” while the latter means, “A great miracle happened here.”
On another note, I was discussing Chanukah as the sham, (not sham) holiday that it is, that being, one which has very little religious bearing on Judaism, while still retaining divine significance to the American economy. However, what is lacks religiously, it more than makes up for in an application to present economic and resource-scarce problems. How do we get a now severely declining supply of oil to last us until some global biological epidemic takes over? If we can take the last drops of oil in our lamps and put them towards better long-term sustainable strategies, we might just make it out of the temple.
I encourage everyone to be wise in their resource allocation, and miserly whenever possible. Chappy Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah Kerrin (and I’m back 7 years ago when your mother had sent to you this package with one present for each day!!!!).
Funny note – in French – : Olivier n’a plus de cuisine jaune et bleue, c’est pour ça que vous avez pris des m&m’s de cette couleur???

Excellent point Gigante. If only history could be applied to the present. Can you imagine, if, for example, a car that got 30 miles to the gallon could now get 8 times that, or 240 mpg? Oil crisis solved. Oh well, nice to dream.

We may have to consult the Talmud about what constitutes a true latke. I know people who parboil the potatoes for latkes and some who don’t use egg. Some use a little flour as a binder. And some add grated onion. Whatever, there is no better vehicle for creme fraiche and caviar.
