Hanukkah gelt Puns

So I hopped on hangout this evening to catch up with people, as I have been pretty absent as of late. I started talking about how I have smoked most of my sticks and haven’t been buying any lately. One of my last cigars at the moment is the Feral Flying Pig. Tonight is the perfect night for a smoke in beautiful Sarasota, Florida. Clear skies at 60 degrees.

First off I must say this is a beautiful cigar, and I was hesitant to smoke it because I like to stare at it in my humidor./u/goatcans persistence finally caused me to cave in and I spark it up. The chestnut brown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper has an impeccable oily sheen to it that just makes it that much more inviting . Weighing in at 5 3/8 inches with a 60 sized ring gauge this is my ideal sized cigar. The “pig” vitola more commonly known as the figurado is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and feels great in my hand .The construction and feel to the cigar is amazing. It has a nice firm feel, and you can tell it is really well made.

The cigar has a Brazilian binder and Nicaraguan filler. Meaning this cigar will be a medium bodied cigar.

At first light I immediately notice a chimney of smoke. The first note I notice is a creamy dark chocolate that is amazing on my palate. An espresso and cedar note follows with a continued creaminess, which is very prevalent throughout the first third of this cigar. I will also note that there is a bit of spice, and black pepper on the retrohale. So far this is a medium bodied cigar.

The smoke production is almost overwhelming, as I continue on to the second third. The flavor profile is pretty much the same, but with less of the spice, but a lot of creaminess that I mentioned before. The rich chocolate and espresso are definitely the strong notes through out the second third. The strength has started to ramp up, it has definitely hit full body status. As /u/goatcan was telling me the ash on this cigar, which is a beautiful white/ grey color is firm, and not going anywhere.

As I move on to the final third I slow my roll as this cigar is definitely a full-bodied cigar. The chocolate is deliciously matched by espresso. There is an extremely enjoyable sweet undertone to this cigar that has started to become more pronounced and is accented by a leather note that I associate with creamy textured cigars.

Found this article from a few years ago with an accurate description: > Typical milk chocolate gelt has the texture of a half-melted candle and a flavor that rests somewhere between corn syrup and chew toy.

It suggested a place in San Luis Obispo but the shipping looks pretty expensive. There must be some yuppie Jewish store in SF that sells gelt made out of actually good chocolate, right?

Hi r/Judaism. One of my coworkers is Jewish, and I want to get her a Happy Hannukah card. Is this appropriate? If so, is there a better day to give it to her (ie first day? Last day? Day in between)?

Thank you for your responses! I want her to feel like her beliefs are respected in our smallish office, but I also don't want to offend her.

Edit: Thank you all very much! I will be getting her a card, and aiming to give it to her probably for the first day. I will also look out for the chocolate coins. Thank you all very much!

UPDATE: I met his family, they all really like me, are super sweet and are totally chill with me being absolutely clueless about Judaism. I went out with my boyfriend and his sister to buy Hanukkah presents for Sunday (since school break is just weirdly set up). Definitely less nervous, and excited to celebrate with them. I feel less like I’m wandering into territory I don’t understand, thanks for all the helpful (and hilarious) comments!

So I’m going to my boyfriends place over our sorta-kinda one extra day to our thanksgiving break. And his family is Jewish, I was raised Roman Catholic now atheist. What should I bring/how should I dress? It’s just spending time with family but I don’t want to be rude, or do something wrong. Some advice would be nice. I’m too shy to ask him what is and isn’t okay since we both aren’t super religious, but his family is. (Mine are the same way but with Catholicism).

Last night Trasha made a video of herself wrapped in that blue wrapping paper that is Jewish Hanukkah wrapping paper. She danced around and ripped it off. she grabbed something called GELT which is a Traditional Hannukah food. She slapped it inside her very hard and cocky and said Let me get some Gelt in my pu--y.........., then in a desperate attempt to sound sexy said come and eat this pu..y while she grabbed her butt and spread it. why would u EVER EVER do something this vile. U walking POS

Hi all! Longtime lurker. I didn't find out I was Jewish until my mid twenties (in my thirties now) (maternal grandmother who I grew up with was a German Jew who survived the Holocaust but never was outwardly Jewish at home (other than food wise)). We didn't celebrate/observe any Jewish holidays growing up. Only after I was told by my mom did it click that lox and bagels, gefilte fish, latkes, matzo ball soup, Reubens on rye, rugelach and the like aren't really German foods but Jewish 😂

Anyway, other than making latkes and lighting a menorah, what are ways secular Jews observe the holiday? I'm not religious at all, but I want to slowly start incorporating more Jewish traditions and Hannukah seems like a good place to start.

And yes I know Hanukkah ≠ Jewish Christmas or even the most important Jewish holiday/holy day, but it seems like the most accessible for me to start with.

Thanks for your support!

Edit: apparently I can't spell Hanukkah 🤦‍♀️

Hi I’m celebrating Hanukkah this year, I’ve been researching a lot, however, I’m not sure about whether or not to give gifts. What type of gifts do you exchange if any? Any particular activity you do besides candle lighting and good food? Let know I’d love to hear :)
