sscotty727 Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Sorry for the quality of the picture, but I found this in a catelog we got in the mail today. It is apparently a Hanukkah candle with high heel shoes. I wonder how they ever came up with that idea? Scotty
crotchhiboots Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 L'chei-im and Mazel tov! everybody. 77r90dL lf
Akev44 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 You can buy one here only for $39.99 and I can tell you it looks like a kosher menorah as the holder of the middle candle -- the shamash -- has a higher heel than the others... I should get one of these before next Hanukkah
sscotty727 Posted October 17, 2004 Author Posted October 17, 2004 Thank you for the better pics. I am not Jewish, but I thought it was an interesting but strange item to mix heels and a Hanukkah candle. (Fashion and Religion intertwined). Maybe we should see if we can get anyone to do a heel Christmas tree for equal time;) Scotty
Bubba136 Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Nine candle holders and not one decent pump or boot in the lot! Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
sscotty727 Posted October 17, 2004 Author Posted October 17, 2004 COOL Website! They also have the "Christmas Story" leg-lamp! http://www.stupid.com/stat/LEGL.html Scotty
chris100575 Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 BTW, what does "mazel tov" mean? I was watching a DVD the other day and somone said it. I couldn't make out what she'd said and backed up to watch it with subtitles. As you can imagine, when "mazel tov" appeared on the screen it didn't help me out much! Chris
Zinkhink Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Did someone mention Christmas I found theese on eBay about 1 year ago. Or you could decorate your tree with shoes: Happy Holidays everyone!!
Dr. Shoe Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Firstly it is not a Kosher Menora because it holds 9 candles and not 7. It is a Khanuka Menora. It has 9 candles to symbolise the length of time it took to purge the Temple when the Maccabees returned to Jerusalem (or something like that. It doesn't matter where the Shamash is placed as long as it is not required to do any work. Mazal Tov means good luck. Mazal is luck and tov (or tovah if the objective is female) means good. Yeled Tov would be good boy, whereas Yelda Tovah is good girl. There endeth today's lesson in modern Hebrew!

Akev44 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Dr. Shoe, I'm impressed with the show of both Jewish knowladge and proficiency in hebrew. Hebrew is not a such a common language to know, so my question is if you have a Israeli background?
Bubba136 Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I wonder if the person that decorated the Christmas tree with shoes couldn't afford to buy ornaments because they spent all of their money on shoes? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
flipflop klipklop Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 That Christmas tree with the heels ornament is hilarious. I'm sure most have seen these chairs. But if you didn't, enjoy: Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?
