I lit my menorah backwards last night. I guess it had been a while. Feeling all proud and accomplished after being guilted by mother for not lighting it the first night, I was quick to post this picture to facebook, only to be told I had gotten it wrong. Thanks Mom! You light and start your candles from right to left, not left to right....got it?But it still made me happy to do it, I even think I remember most of the prayer correctly... Who am I kidding, it sounded like yiddish jibberish and I would be totally horrified to have said it along side an actual Jew who knew what they were doing. I'm a terrible, terrible Jew. (As though a blog dedicated to a countdown to xmas wasn't evidence enough...)
