I never learned anything but OH NO IF I HAVE TO HEAR THAT DREIDEL SONG ONE MORE TIME IMMA CUT A BITCH.
I never learned that one, but I actually do know all the words to "Hava Nagila" because we learned it in third grade music class. That really surprised our friend when we were at his daughter's bat mitzvah and I was able to sing all of the words! Can't believe I still remember them; my head is packed with all kinds of crazy trivia!
And some attempt in Hebrew school to teach us Ma'oz Tzur/Rock of Ages, but that was deathly dull and never took.
LOL!
I'm your typical quasi-pagan atheist Jew; we light the candles but I don't say the brachas any more, and I do make latkes. Because they are delicious.
It's funny, because I know lots more Jewish people who celebrate holidays in a secular way than I know Christians who do the same. Hmm.
