She's an absolute cunt but I don't think she's the one who mistook the menorah in the graphic and her comment is pretty on point.
She's probably a Nazi but as a Jew, I'm not getting bothered by this one.
Gonna be honest, it took me way too long to figure out what was wrong with the picture. As someone who isn't Jewish, your comment made me stop and start looking for a hidden swastika or upside-down writing or something. It didn't occur to me that menorahs are only used for Hanukkah(?), and it took way too long for Google to tell me that.
I've also learned that there are 7 candle and 9 candle menorahs, and that the 9 candle ones are used for Hanukkah, while it sounds like the 7 candle ones are decorative? Do I have that right?
Get out of here with your reasonable take
Lmfaoooooo
I thought the shofar was also primarily a Rosh Hashanah thing, it's more of an all-year symbol then?
The shofar is sounded at the close of Yom Kippur services as well as Rosh hashanah. That one fits.
