Orthodoxy Test

Gil at Hirhurim posted his result on taking LamedZayin's Orthodoxy test. So I took it, and yes, it's a pretty accurate assessment - verified by my wife.

Chanukah charol

Since Lipman posted his "Chnukke Song", I thought I'd post my wife Debbie's take on the song:

I'm dreaming of a frum Xmas
Just like the ones in Boro Park
Where sheitls glisten
And children listen
To tales of sages long ago

I'm dreaming of a frum Xmas
Ignoring Santa if he comes
May your days be merry, not glum
and may all your Xmases be frum.

For other Chanukkah songs, see Lisa Liel's rather militaristic parodies,

and a few others in a thread from soc.culture.jewish.moderated newsgroup.
