First things first, don’t forget to put a Chanukah bush on your door. Every house in the neighborhood except for yours looks like Santa vomited on it. A Chanukah bush in place of a wreath is the perfect way to let your neighbors know that you’re Jewish and not a grinch.

Here’s some Chanukah and other relevant cards about Judaism from someecards:

I am raising money for this not quite pressing cause at a time when the economy is in the crapper, but hear me out. I have been accepted as a member to TEAM USA for the 2009 Maccabi Games.

To be a part of this, I must raise $3,300 for the team. Help me help me.

How to Profit from the Coming Rapture, Getting Ahead When You’re Left Behind, is a delightfully entertaining book, especially for Jews who may not be familiar with the Rapture. Sure, Jews know the basic premise of the Rapture: the Second Coming of Christ. Likewise, Jews know who gets to participate in the Rapture: Not us. However, most Jews are not familiar with the intricacies of the Rapture.

When the Rapture occurs, Christians, dead and alive, will bask in Jesus’ glory. Obviously, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus will have to find other accommodations (The Bible belt will be wide open), but did you know that Catholics and less ardent Protestants will also be left behind? Who knew that all goys were not created equal?

While the book contains fun facts about the Rapture (1/3 of you will die, the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place, and famine will strike) that is merely the book’s backdrop, not its focus. The focus is how you can profit during the tumultuous time between the Rapture and The Second Coming. This book is THE must-have investment guide for the unenlightened. Paying $10 now will net you billions during the 7 years of societal breakdown before Armageddon. If you love and care about your friends and family, you will buy this book for them for Chanukah.
