Lots of feating, prayers, apples dipped in honey, Mashed Yams, special Challah Bread (to die for!) and well - as per normal on a Jewish feast - loasd of booze - All I did were the candle lightings (I made a Menorah) did the appropriate preyers in Hebrew - i just hope the G-d understands my Hebrew as I doubt anyone else would...had an apple vut into slices and dipped it into a small amount of honey, and listened to some Jewish music.
Then I ignored all the rules and went out!

it is - last year I had 2- people in for about 5 hours! The consumed 8lbs of Challah Bread (it is rather yummy) dozens of apples in honey (to make your year sweet) l cooked a 2 gallon preserving pan of Yams and acrrot mashed - then put into serving bows, then there was other traditional food such as olives, dates, and cake!
Next Monday (ie October 2nd) is Yom Kippur - where we starve from sunset on the Sunday to sunset on the Monday to attone for our sins - and ask for forgiviness - luckily we have a FEAST day on the Sunday before sundown - it is to ensure we do not damage ourselves whilst taking a day off from eating - because of ill health I am allowed water.
Then we have a load more feastivals - all include gorgeous food and lots of alcohol! Being intolerant ot Alchohol isn't much fun!

Talking of self-deprecating jokes.
One of our tenants is German and he came in with the inventory for his new flat and said
"The person who did this is very efficient, is she German?"

So who did do it and is there any German blood there?
