viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20180&start=30

The Chanukah poem contest for the Greenberg bat is still going on.

Meanwhile here's the second contest. It's really simple. Share a thought about Chanukah. A message about the holiday itself and what it means to you. Something inspiring.

Winner will receive an Al Rosen Sweet Spot Autograph to help with their Jewish players PC (what, you don't have one? Well, it's time to start!!

)

Let's see what you've got.

Chanukah to me, means a time when Jews join together, and celebrate the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

bigalexx · Dec 24, 2008

When Jews around the world unite as a nation, and spread inner peace.

Chanukah to me is when the higher up's in the recording industry, the producer's & head's of various movie studio's along with many, many company's vp's & president's get together to celecbrate a spiritually symbolic & religious tradition that has been passed down for year's! .....Sorry, I'm not Jewish (but I tried)

I'll share my experiences.

Chanukah for me has epitomized, more than any other time of year, family. After each person lights the Menorah, we "dance" in a circle, singing the series of songs that are somewhat standard. Through the years we never received a whole lot of presents, but as we got older we started giving my parents presents. Considering they never really spend money on themselves, it was a nice surprise for them the first time a couple of years ago when we gave my Mom a gift certificate to a spa (took me 3 hours to find the place to buy the certificate because I had bad direction, and didn't want to use a credit card because they would have seen the receipt.) We got my Dad an iPod that year.

Chanukah has also always been a time for family parties, and a nice break during the winter to recharge batteries, remember the past, and energize for the future.

Nothing spectacular, but fond memories.

My fondest Hannukah experience came when I was 7 years old. My brother and I wanted an N64, but my parents told me that it was too expensive and they could not get it for us. Well for the first night, we open our presents, and there is a knock on our front door. My dad answers it, and he comes into the family room holding an N64. The surprise and the jubilation of that moment has stuck with me for the 11 more years I have played that N64 haha.

K stereotypical and tasteless. You won't be winning the contest. And don't worry, it's not because you're not Jewish.

Chanukah is the only time when my entire family gets together. For the passed 15 years i loved eating Potato Lotkus(spelling sorry) with my entire family gathered around the table. This year was the first time we have gotten together without my Grandpa since he passed last March. We still have a place set for him and i will always remember him saying Kaddish as he lit the Manora.

It was a joke, I'm not Jewish & therefore I have no Hanukah experience's....I wrote the reply all in good fun (after all it "is" Christmas). I don't expect to win but whom are you to state whether I win or lose (is this your contest)?
Have a Merry Christmas (try not to sweat the petty stuff bud)

Anyone else have any stories to share?

Out of curiosity, does anyone actually have a Jewish PC? I figured the Jewish player cards were a nice holiday touch, but I've gotten curious if anyone has taken this angle on a PC?

J.O. · Dec 25, 2008

not really. the only two jewish players i really like are koufax and greenberg, as both were domiinant. (if you count braun then him too

)
I've owned a koufax hof postcard psa/dna, and gave it to my dad. had a 16x20 psa of him but sold it. had a few different greenberg autos, but not anymore. i still do have a few autos and rookies of tony cogan though
