The Jewish tradition of eating Chinese food on Christmas is well-documented in the media, but have you ever wondered how that started? Well, it's a lot more than a trope. Twitter user @kehillahjewess composed a brilliant thread to demystify the holiday ritual on Christmas Eve, and the historical roots are pretty damn fascinating. Turns out the stereotype goes way deeper than the simple fact that Chinese restaurants are some of the only businesses open on the Christian holiday. 

Hanukkah has begun! The 2020 edition of the Festival of Lights might not be as lit this year, but even if you've gotta light the menorah with bubbe over Zoom, at least no one can get mad at you for texting your cousins some dank memes during the virtual family dinner. Whether you're socially distanced this holiday season or creating a safe little pod with loved ones, hopefully these hilarious Jewish memes and tweets will get you stoked to light that first candle.

Happy second day of Hanukkah to all of our Jewish friends out there celebrating! We hope your eight nights are lit AF. Now go eat some latkes and jelly donuts and challah!

Chag Urim Sameach!

It's November now so naturally we're getting into the yearly debates about the holiday season and political correctness. What's the argument this time, you ask? Well, it all spawned when former Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker tweeted complaints about people referring to Christmas trees as "holiday trees." 

He also tweeted that menorahs are to be solely referred to as such, rather than a "holiday candle holder." 

Our take on the whole thing? Call your winter holiday decorations whatever the hell you want; shouldn't we be focused on more, ya know, pressing issues facing our nation?

Chag Sameach, y'all! 

We love and appreciate our Jewish friends, so of course we gotta give y'all a little something you can relate to. Shabbat Shalom!

PSA: don't try to pitch your sh*tty movie idea to someone whose mom just died.
