Hammer Time

Being away working on the holidays is never fun, but sure that Jake and Natalie made the best of it and did Hanukkah Southwest style. How? Maybe Jake used his penchant for cooking and made some homemade latkes with a some chili and seasonings. Maybe a little sweet potato, chili, spring onion latkes to mix it up a bit. With a little sour cream and applesauce - delish. Okay, so he had someone act as his sous chef and shredded all those potatoes, hey PA's can be sous chefs can't they?

Light the candles, Natalie can take care of the blessing, sure Jake's Hebrew is not as good as Natalie's. While not home with family, friends can be the next best thing. Maybe Toby, Jennifer and Ruby Sweetheart joined them.

A little spin of the dreidel for some candy gelt - seriously who doesn't want to play for chocolate?

And for entertainment? All sit down and watch a new modern Hanukkah classic - the Hebrew Hammer. Maybe not a movie for everyone but bet your latkes Jake finds it hysterical.

Just who is the Hebrew Hammer? He's Mordechai Jefferson Carver(Adam Goldberg), a Certified Circumcised Dick who has dedicated his life to defending Jews. After Santa's evil son takes over Christmas he is out to get rid of Hanukkah, and make everyone celebrate Christmas the Hebrew Hammer comes to the rescue.

Hebrew Hammer creates a character rarely seen in Hollywood or off-Hollywood films: a sexy and powerful Jewish action hero. In the tradition of blackexplotation movies of the 70's, "The Hebrew Hammer" pitches stereotypes like flaming fastballs at a knowing audience. Director Jonathan Kesselman has jokingly dubbed it the first "Jewsploitation", or the first Jewish exploitation film ever."

One of the many in -jokes in the movie - "The name of the Hebrew Hammer is a reference to the story of Hanukkah, in which Judas Maccabeus helped retake the Temple in Jerusalem. "Judas Maccabeus" literally means "Judah the Hammer".
