One of my favorite Jewish bloggers, MaNishtana (Black Jew is the New Black!) takes no prisoners as he explains why he’s not a fan of Chrismukkah!

G-dcast Spins Chanukah! from G-dcast.com More Torah cartoons at http://www.g-dcast.com Fire up that third candle! I hope Jennifer Connelly never heard this next one. Gross and sexist, much? Mr. Sandler! Tom Cruise isn’t but Jesus Christ is…whoa?

This… Continue reading My new favorite Hanukkah song
Officer John Fosket of the Helena Police Department and Miky, a bomb-sniffing dog trained by the Israeli Defense Forces. The NY Times published a sweet Jewish story this past weekend, “Yes, Miky, There Are Rabbis in Montana”.
