Maccabees are Coming to Town. This parody truly captures the
original spirit of the holiday.
by Eric Schrager. (To the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming...")
They're grinding their swords
Sharp as a pin
A guerilla war
They're going to win
Maccabees are coming to town
You'd best be a Jew
Or suffer your fate
It does you no good
To assimilate
Maccabees are coming to town
They know if you're Assyrian
They know if you dig Greeks
They see you on the temple mount
Consorting with Hellenistic freaks
You'd best be a Jew
Or suffer your fate
One day's worth of oil
Is gonna last eight
Maccabees are coming to town
Ouch. And scroll down
this blog (no permalinks) for a
new Jewish joke:
A woman went to the post office to buy stamps for her Chanukah cards. She said to the clerk, "May I please have 50 Chanukah stamps?"
The clerk asked, "What denomination?"
The woman replied, "O my God, has it come to this? O.K. - give me 1 Haredi, 2 Hasidim, 8 Orthodox, 12 Conservative, 16 Reform, 7 Reconstructionist and 4 Humanistic."
Ba-da bum. Purim's right around the corner, folks.
