Hey, everybody! Well, tonight starts the eight nights of Chanukah. For those of you unfamiliar, this is the holiday that commemorates the Jewish Maccabees’ defeat over Antiochus, and afterwards, the miracle of the lamp oil lasting for eight days. Hence the eight day celebration. Anyway, it’s fun. Plenty of twinkle lights and blue tinsel up… Read More Chanukah & Another Hiatus
Shana tova, guys! That means happy new year… even though it’s September. 😛 We’re going by the Jewish lunar calendar here, so it actually is the Jewish new year. So, we do all sorts of fun things on Rosh Hashana with lots of symbolism so the little guys in our family can get it too.… Read More Rosh Hashana
Hey, guys! I’ve tried to put this video up before, but it didn’t work, seeing as I didn’t realize the miracle of Google Drive. A quick explanation of what exactly this strange video is. Once upon a time, my sister (sprinklesquink) and I got these colorful KB socks. The problem with colorful socks is that once… Read More One Day More: A Les Mis Song, Starring Socks
Watch in suspense as man takes on the cruel and unfamiliar world of the kitchen! A friend emailed us this video the other day and we all loved it… and continued to watch a bunch more of the Jostie Flicks videos.

Hey, folks! (any ideas what else I can call you guys? I’m running out of ideas.)

Just simple and beautiful.… Read More Different Drum
Yes! I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get this video on before passover was over. So, Yay for that! 🙂 Another awesome Maccabeats video for the holiday. This is REALLY creative what they did with this. So, the traditional Dayenu tune is a very neutral, easy melody. Easy to mess… Read More Who says “Dayenu” has to be repetitive?
I watched this today with my sibs and thought it was really good. 🙂 We really like For King & Country and have had this song for a while, so it was fun to see the video. Enjoy! Tell me what you think! ~writefury
Happy Purim, folks! Munch some hamantashen and enjoy the Maccabeats!

I really love dogs, and this video is so perfect and cute. 🙂 I’m so glad God made dogs, and this shows the funny play on words in the English language. Ok, on the topic of language… The Hebrew word for dog is “kelev”. Break it down to the root words, and it means “All… Read More God and Dog
Our family loves these videos and I think this one’s my favorite. 🙂 Makes me laugh every time. Hope you enjoy! Please tell me how you liked it! ~writefury
