My Hebrew birthday is tonight and that has always been problematic for me, you see when your brithday falls out on chanukah people forget to give you a gift because they just gave you one. In my case no one ever really gave me any gifts, the last gifts I got en masse seemed to be my bar mitzvah and since then no one has really cared to acknowledge me, my grandaprents and all dead and I have no rich relatives, but I figured maybe one of you wants to send me a gift, a card, anything to make me feel nice, you can even donate money for my trip out west.
I don’t really expect anything but I figured what the hey? It can’t hurt…
My paypal address is frumsatire@gmail
If you really want to send me anything – I love mail – you can send it to my fathers house at

I don’t think that’s a chanukah thing, i think that’s a getting older thing…no one gets me a birthday present except my husband.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday Hesh! Have a great day and a great year.
happy birthday heshy! many more healthy wealthy ones!
is it too early to say you don’t look a day over 21?!
I have the same birthday as my mother and so when I was small they decided to celebrate her birthday on the secular date, 1st December and mine on the Hebrew date 26th Kislev. This was never a problem. We got small presents on 25th Kislev and then I got bigger ones on 26th Kislev. And having my birthday on Hannukah made it better not worse. So it’s just you
I really enjoy reading your material.
Happy B – Day!
asking others for money??
Why not? I figure if everyone reading gives me a buck I would have loads of dough
Happy Birthday
Enjoy what’s left of the decade!
Happy birthday and many, many more. when are you going to settle down and stay in one place? Sorry that is the Jewish mother in me?
It looks like that may happen next September
Happy Birthday! No one celebrates my birthday for me, either. A lady I work for gave me $20. Last year, actually, my phone rang off the hook with birthday calls and someone bought me a book for my birthday/conversion. My dad used to send me a card but, he’s dead now.
I have facebook and every posts happy birthday on my wall. That makes me feel important and loved.
Looks like some people have the same spawning habits. 3 of my six kids have birthdays this week, 2 are on Chanuka.

Happy birthday heshy, don’t feel bad about getting gifts, really once you grow up only a spouse ever gets you anything for your b day, and since you don’t have one, your pretty much up the creek until you get married
I wish I’d have known this when I was sending out CRAPTONS of gifts to my blogger/Twitter friends. Lamesauce.
HAPPY BELATED!
Happy Birthday Heshy!
I feel for ya because my earthday is Dec 24. Not that my family ever cared about Dec 25 for anything but secular reasons, I cant count the number of times I heard “here’s your birthday & christmas present” as a kid.
BTW, what’s a “hebrew birthday”?
