      <![CDATA[We've also done Tamarind Tree and Buddha Ruksa on Christmas Eves past. The latter, a really great Thai place, is (oddly) no longer open on the 24th. But Tamarind Tree was good and festive last year. Of course, they still don't have the barleygreen shaved noodles or the sugar pea vines.

<br />
we have had some fun costumes, the winner one year came dressed as a roof (with roofing shingles draped all over her), one of our board members came as the Russian non-Jew who wooed Chava (can't remember that character's name right now), Tevye is always a favorite, as well as the butcher's dead wife (my PEARLS!)<br />

      <![CDATA[that was my fabulous table of queer jews (and queers and jews) with the menorah!  one man from another  table came up to us and said, "THANKS for doing that [lighting the candles and saying the hanukah prayers] -- i suggested we do that at my table, and i got laughed at."<br />
<br />
As we were leaving the restaurant, i overheard someone comment about "Jews proselytizing," referring to my party of loud and joyous jews.  Was it because we were also handing out postcards -- to folks who came up to talk to us -- to support some Israeli high school kids who are in jail for refusing to serve in the military or support the occupation of Palestine?  (see: <a href="http://december18th.org/">http://december18th.org/</a>)  Was it because we were just being loud?  Was it because we brought a menorah & candles and sang a hanukah prayer/song?<br />
<br />
Why is that all called "proselytizing," when every fucking day of the year, I and my Jewish friends have to put up with calendars that follow Christian holidays, government & business closures on said Christian holidays, and a million other forms of Christian-centrism?<br />
<br />
fucking OY.
