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.
