And So This is Chanukah.

Image of the day:

A Jewish shopper at Balducci’s main location in Greenwich Village noticed this most unlikely display last week (three years ago, but we’re a people of history) and lodged a complaint with the management, who quickly cast the blame on a stock clerk, according to the NY Daily News.

What’s next? A blow-out deal on Manischewitz wine and kashe varnishkes for Christmas?

Attention Balducci shoppers: clean up in aisle nine!

Chanukah ham story epilogue: if you would like this image and others like it immortalized on an apron, mug, calendar, or magnet, said Balducci’s customer Nancy Kay Shapiro wants to make your dreams a reality.

  3. My favorite was the bagel places in New York advertising their “Yom Kippur Special”. (I know exactly what they meant, but it was still funny.)

  5. I definitely saw Hannukah jelly beans being advertised as stocking stuffers the other day. They were mixed in with Christmas jelly beans in the display, but still!!

"I may attack a certain point of view which I consider false, but I will never attack a person who preaches it. I have always a high regard for the individual who is honest and moral, even when I am not in agreement with him. Such a relation is in accord with the concept of kavod habriyot, for beloved is man for he is created in the image of God." —Rav Joseph Soloveitchik
