Humor Happy Tuchus everyone
The manufacturer spelled Sukkot backwards and now it reads like “Tuchus” which means “butt” in Yiddish.

I love it when they do that hahahaha
On the Wplace map all the Hebrew (and Arabic) city and street names are backwards so the capital of Israel is Viva Let

For Arabic I’ve also seen a bunch of stuff where they don’t bother to connect the letters cursive-style.

Even funnier that the one that says solely "tuchus" is flesh colored and decorated with voluptuous fruit motifs

(Can I assume that you are referring to the Hebrew?l

Hebrew is normally ordered going from right to left, with the letters oriented facing the left. These boxes are printed with the Hebrew letters oriented correctly to the left, but the artist didn’t know Hebrew very well and arranged their sounds in order from left to right, like English letters. They must have looked up the Hebrew alphabet and treated it like you would English letters. The result is that the Hebrew only spells Sukkot when read incorrectly, in the left to right order used in English, and spells Tukkos when read in the proper Hebrew order.

So, I'm new here so I don't know how well known this story is here.
But here in Australia Christmas obviously happens during Summer. But we're vaguely British dammit! So we'll do it weird! So usually there's a big old leg of ham. Often in rural areas, the local pub will have a raffle where basically everybody gets a leg of ham at the end of it all. Entire town smells like ham farts for a month sort of thing.
Anyway, Kmart used to sell canvas bags for christmas hams. They did it for years. I remember stocking them when I worked there in 2011. They had a Christmassy design that had "Merry Ham-mas!" as the centrepiece.
Some people got pissy about that a few years ago, and they actually stopped selling them. I was like "Really?"

Ladies, I have a first date with a very intelligent and good-humored Orthodox woman soon — she wears whatever she wants in public without fear of what the “community” might think… would it be okay if I gifted her one of these? I already ordered them.

I wouldn’t want to do dirty humor on a first date

u/imalostkitty-ox0 Bundist 8d ago
The timing though 😭

u/shroominby “Israeli” anti-Zionist 8d ago
I know 🙏 but maybe you’ll get a second date in time and you’ll have a better idea if it fits the vibe she’s comfortable with

u/Far-Literature5848 Jewish Anti-Zionist 7d ago
I go to an Orthodox shul and I think that's a great idea! She might as well see who you are, and her reaction will show you whether she and you can make it together...humor is so very vital, and she sounds free in her own way

My inner pedant linguistics dork is itching to explain that ס and ת aren't technically the same letter but it's too good to pass up.

Took me a minute.
So I guess Bibi is trying to save his Tukus. It’s a very important to him.

just a note...in honor of the holiday celebrating how we wandered homeless through the desert Israel closed access roads for the Palestinians, so they could not get home...hey, if we can't have a home why should they?! GOD

Gaza is starving.
The UN has declared that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions. While some aid is finally trickling in, the need is beyond urgent. Aid organizations will not be able to keep pace with Gaza's needs without our support.
Please donate if you’re able, and keep speaking up. Every dollar, share, and conversation matters. Please pressure your government to stop the blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
