Finished buying prizes. Official Hannukah contest/party...

[trademhigh]

Well, here mine are:
Hebrew one first, then the English one with the Hebrew Title:
Hafesteeval shel hanukah

Ani Oar LaNeir
Ani Roked la horah
Tzrichim lashir ma otzoor
Trzichim l’daber eavrit
Trizchim l’heetpalel
Trizchim omer habeercot
Trizchim l’sacheck meeschak
Trizchim l’sapeel hadreidle
Y trizchim y’heeyeh kef

Here is the translation of the Poem:
The Festival of Hanukkah

I light the Candle
I dance the horah
We need to sing Mah Otzoor
we need to speak Hebrew
We need to Pray (In the reflexive tense)
we need to say the blessings
We need to play games
We need to spin the dreidle
And we need to have fun

Haseepoor shel Hanukah

The Greeks arrived
Under Alexander the hebrews thrived
Then came dictator Antiochus the fourth
So Macabee and sons came forth
Macabee aka the hammer
Hit Antiochus harder than Quentin Jammer
After the temple was sacked
The bricks were no longer stacked
As the legend goes
The Macabees against their foes
Lit a Menorah
And danced the Hora
For a victory occurred
The romans couldn’t speak a word
Antiochus began to morn
And thus the legend was born

The title means: The story of Hanukkah

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I didn't know that Youkilis was one of us chosen people. Neat.

I do have to admit, this is not an original poem.

Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,

Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

When you feel like the only kid in town without a christmas tree, heres a list of
People who are jewish, just like you and me:

David Lee Roth lights the menorrah,
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli,
Bowzer from sha-na-na, and Arthur Fonzarrelli.

Paul Newman's half jewish; Goldie Hawn's half too,
Put them together--what a fine lookin' jew!

You don't need deck the halls or jingle bell rock
Cause you can spin the dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock--both jewish!

Put on your yalmulka, its time for hanukkah,
The owner of the seattle super sonic-ahs celebrates hanukkah.

O.J. Simpson-- not a jew!
But guess who is...hall of famer Rod Carew--(he converted!)

We got ann landers and her sister dear abby,
Harrison Ford's a quarter jewish--not too shabby!

Some people think that ebeneezer scrooge is,
Well, hes not, but guess who is:all three stooges.

So many jews are in show biz--
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is.

Tell your friend Veronica, its time you celebrate hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely hanukkah.

So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, have a happy, happy, happy, happy
Hanukkah. happy hanukka!

I'm glad you mentioned this isn't original. For a minute I thought you were super funny - like Adam Sandler funny or something. Who wrote this?

I was being slightly sarcastic about "having to admit that this wasn't an original poem." I appreciate your sarcastic parry.

You know who wrote this.

Today is the first day of hannukah
as Adam sandler once said put on your yamikas
The minora will light for the next 8
Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg are some greats
Hannukas is a great time of year
spending time with family for all to hear
sitting around the dinner table
or playing with a litte draddle
nothing beats this holiday
so lets all celbrate this joyous time
happy hannukah to all

Well, i finished it transliteration style. I'm not sure if I should write it out and scan it, as I don't know if people can read hebrew script. Or, can they?

I think that anyone who can translate Hebrew from a transliteration would also be able to read the text.

 

[trademhigh]

I'm writing it in Hebrew script, and I will scan it soon after.

 

[trademhigh]

Here is the all new corrected version in Hebrew.
I hand wrote it then scanned it.

Hey, a little bit of it seems to be a bit cut off. Would it be possible to rescan it?

Happy Day 2 everyone!!

Anyone else have anything to share? How are the donuts?

 

[trademhigh]

It's not cut off. Scroll to the side, to see the beginning part of it.

It's not letting me scroll for some reason

Weird. Maybe there is a way i can scale it down?

I can't read hebrew without the vowels...

Pretty cool stuff guys. I love seeing the Hebrew writing. By the way, what's a dreidle (don't know the spelling) and what is it's purpose?

Check in for the trivia contest in the next couple of days and you'll find out

Automatic winner for those who use Moe Berg in their poems

I have to admit that any Moe Berg reference (if done well) would score major points.

Well Mark Teixeira gave me a Hannukah present (Both as a Yankee fan, and as an prospector/investor.)

Got my self a present:
