In pre-20th century European culture, red hair was commonly identified as the distinguishing negative Jewish trait. During the Spanish Inquisition, all those with red hair were identified as Jewish; and writers from Shakespeare to Dickens would identify Jewish characters by giving them red hair.

For those of you who celebrate Hanukkah, I’m sure you’re going to appreciate these jokes from parents about this special holiday.
Let’s get started!
I don’t think the architects of Hanukkah considered the long term psychological effects of giving a toddler a present every night. For eight consecutive nights.
We’ve got a monster on our hands.

A parent's Hanukkah miracle is having barely enough patience to survive one night of a holiday that involves open flames, yet somehow making it through eight of them.

Dad, do we celebrate Hanukkah?
"No, honey that's a Jewish holiday."
My friend Jake celebrates it but he's not Jewish, he's a vegetarian.— Tim (@Playing_Dad) December 3, 2014
6yo just decorated a cardboard menorah my mum gave him for Chanukah.
There was glitter.
My mum and I are no longer on speaking terms.

Our youngest said she’s learning about Hanukkah in school so I’ve been showing her pictures of the Hanukkah Armadillo so she can ask about it tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/IuH1tzjJy3

My kids are a quarter Jewish, so they'll only get gifts on two nights of Hanukkah.

Kid: grandma and grandpa are coming for Hanukkah and bringing guilt.
Me: you mean gelt
Also me: yup.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING prepares you for the day your 10yo tells you he wants a ball warmer for Hanukkah.

My 9 y/o and 12 y/o are watching Elf while decorating Hanukkah cards for their grandparents. I want to see Will Ferrel play a Macabee in a Jewish remake.

Hanukkah Mom Nightmare: You wake up in a cold sweat thinking you only got each kid 7 gifts instead of 8. #KeepingTabsOn @Luvs @TheBlogU

It’s ok for my kid to tell another kid that Santa’s not real when they say Hanukkah is stupid, right?

And on the second night of Hanukkah, I lit the menorah while my non-Jewish kid sang "Happy Birthday" just like my ancestors intended.

For a Hanukkah gift, I'm gonna assemble my son's birthday present from July.

My 12 y/o just gave me a Hanukkah card. “You’re not perfect, but nobody is.” Thank you…

I guess Jesus was the first kid that got to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas.

Happy Hanukkah, happy holidays, and have a great New Year!

Getting along with your co-workers can often prove to be a challenge, and that goes double when we work with people who are very different from ourselves – different experiences, different upbringings, different backgrounds, different faiths, different whatever. But given that none of us want to end up on the street without a paycheck, getting along is the best (and only) option.
That said, when Muslim man Umar started a Twitter thread about how his Jewish co-worker treats him on the job, people everywhere were holding their breath.
Spoiler alert: It turned out to be for naught.

Umar told Bored Panda that not only was his co-worker, Elliot, super knowledgable about Islam and its rules, but that he genuinely cared about others and looked out for their best interests.

We should all aim to be a bit more like these two, who quietly respect their’ differences and work to ensure everyone can live the life they choose without interfering with other people’s right to do the same.

In the meantime, everyone is reveling in the good and light cast from Umar and his friend.

Be kind, y’all. It’s worth it.
