    The closest dialect to the times of the Beis Hamikdash is probably the Teimani.

    squeak – I’ll need to check it out, if you need more details than what I provided in my comment on the previous page, which I thought was rather comprehensive with mekors.

    As far as the birthday, as a historical matter it is a joke, and the Christians know it. No one seriously believes its on 12/25. That date was chosen for kratsmich because it was previously a Roman pagan holiday by the sun worshippers, and when the Christians were trying to convert the Romans to Christianity, they conveniently chose that day since the Romans already had a holiday that date. In fact, there are over 200 different ‘shittos’ amongst various Christian sects as to when the mamzers birthday is.

    Whoever said there is a halachic prohibition to see kratsmich lights or to say Yushke’s YM’S name? There is no halachic prohibition to enjoy the wonderful cozy feelings of watching a toilet in action either.

    brooklyn19:

    Its a minhug (Mekor Chaim of the Chavas Yair OH:155, Chidushei HaRim in the name of Rav Yonason Eyebushitz ZT”L, quoted in Siach Sarfei Kodesh I:522, and Rav Yaakov Emden ZT”L in Sefer Hisavkus) many Yidden have not to learn Torah on kratsmich (either Dec. 25, or the Orthodox Jan. 6).

    It is brought down in the Otzar Minhagei Chasidim that the reason is the xtians would start lynch mobs against the Yidden. Another reasons given (by from Rav Nosson Adler ZT”L quoted by Chasam Sofer, Kovetz Michtavim [Chasam Sofer] bsheim Rav Nosson Adler ZT”L.) is that Nitel Nacht is aveilus (same as Tisha Bav) for when Yoshka was born.

    Mitzvos can be done, chesed, as well as mundane chores. There are those who used to simply go to sleep early and waking up earlier to learn the next day. This, says the Chasam Sofer (likutim 31) was the custom of the Yeshivos in Hungary.

    The Chasam Sofer (likutim 32) writes that they only permitted card playing and other such useless behaviors for those whom card playing is an improvement over what they would be invariably doing otherwise – but Bnei Torah may not waste their time with such things on nitel.

    A little old Jewish lady is flying out of New York City on her way to Miami Beach. She looks at the businessman sitting next to her and asks him, “Excuse me sir, but are you Jewish?”

    The man responds politely, “No, ma’am, I’m not Jewish.”

    After a little while she again queries him, “You’re really Jewish, aren’t you?”

    Again he responds, “No ma’am, I am not Jewish.”

    Barely 10 minutes later, the little old lady asks him once more, “Are you sure you’re not Jewish?”

    To which in exasperation, and in a final effort to shut her up, he replies, “Okay. Yes, ma’am, I am Jewish.”

    “Funny,” she says, looking puzzled, “you don’t look Jewish!”

    Man says to G-d: “G-d, why did you make woman so beautiful?”

    G-d says: “So you would love her.”

    “But G-d, the man says, “Why did you make her so dumb?”

    G-d says, “So she would love you”.

    A Jewish man went to eat at a Chinese restaurant and started to wonder if there were any Chinese Jews. So, when the waiter came over to take his order, he asked, “Pardon me, but I’d like to know if there are any Chinese Jews?”

    The waiter said, “I no know. I go to kitchen and ask manager.”

    After taking his order, the waiter went to the kitchen and returned in a few minutes. He explained to the man, “No. No Chinese Jews. We have orange Jews, tomato Jews, grape Jews, and pineapple Jews, but no Chinese Jews.”

    Yoshka Pundrik was not born on kratsmich, although that is what is claimed. No one actually knows when the mamzer was born, and there are over 200 different dates that different sects claim.

    In the Beis Hamikdash long ago

    The beautiful Menorah lights would glow

    With olive oil they burned throughout the night

    To show to all the Torah way of life.

    Then once the wicked Yevanim came

    They broke through walls, they put out the flame

    And when the Kohanim (priests) finally returned

    They found no real pure oil left to burn.

    Just then someone cried out “I found a flask!”

    For one whole night this little jug will last

    Then came a miracle, oh so great

    Instead of just one night, it lasted eight.

    Just then someone cried out “I found a flask!”

    For one whole night this little jug will last

    Then came a ness (miracle) so great

    We light the candles, come let’s celebrate.

    If someone is unfortunate enough to encounter these kratsmich lights, they should recall all the Jewish blood spilled in its name and be sickened by its sight.

    Call it kratsmich.

    Its perhaps the bloodiest day in Jewish history, when the galochim would incite the masses to lynch the Jews, and Yidden would be hiding in their basements with the lights out to hide from the murderous masses.
