[Music] well with Hanukkah in the air you can tell when Hanukkah is in the air because right after circus they start selling stuff gonna yacht right and we don't eat those because they're terribly unhealthy you know that right they call them donuts obviously these people have never been in the United States of America they have no idea what a donut is here what they do is they take old collar what they do is they take old collar rolls they soak it in oil long enough that if you put in a wick you can recreate the Hanukkah miracle how's that and they put in some jelly now the worst thing about these things about everyone knows you shouldn't eat them but they cover them with enough power to sugar so it falls all over you so everyone knows you had a super county yeah you're saying and if you try to brush it off it just gives you a clothing a glaze so you know you can't get rid of it you know so and if that doesn't work then notice something the jelly squirts out on top of your nose between the jelly and the of your nose between the jelly and the powdered sugar you might as well just give it up anyway so I wanted to speak a little bit about Hanukkah and I I have a unique position it's very interesting God has a sense of humor I'm one of six boys there were no girls in my house except for my mother if she was a girl I don't really know we never determined but only six boys and I have eight daughters and yes indeed these things have to even themselves out I was in fact gonna open my own seminary
