My 8 yr old son wants this singing rabi from Bed Bath and Beyond so badly! Every time we enter the store he wants to have it! An older man witnessed the comedy act the other night ...me trying to explain to him that we are not Jewish and that he had enough of crap! But my son's argument was that I was Jewish because his daddy calls me a Jew! I told him Daddy was getting coal for Christmas for being fresh!! LOL!!
I think I might get it for him for Christmas since he wanted it so badly! LOL!! (He sings: Hava nagila, hava nagila Hava nagila ve-nis'mecha) LOL!!

[gkaps]

totally harmless I think, if he wants it he should have it.........how old is your son by the way?

[countrygirl12]

So why does your husband call you a Jew if you are not Jewish?  Maybe I am missing something? lol

ROTFLMFAO!!!  That's a riot!  I don't think your son is looking at it from the point of being Jewish or not, he just likes the thing!  Go ahead, get it for him!

Well better that before he figures out what he can get with a bar mitzvah.

[vickysue]

Oh get it for him.  My kids were always interested in different things and toys it didn't hurt them, As they go a little older it was all tools and bikes then.

I say get it for him.

I am Jewish and as I grew up I had things associated with Christmas. Didn't make a difference to me. Maybe as your son gets older he will have a Jewish friend and be asked to attend the Bar Mitzvah party. He will already know the song so he won't ask what it is. Just explain to him now just like the states have a national song so does Isreal.

I would probably get it for him.  He seems to like it so much.  What would be the harm?

[Nancy5]

I would get it for him.  I am not Jewish, but I have friends who are.  When they had little kids they put up a Christmas Tree for the kids and took them to see Santa.  They followed the Jewish customs and the kids knew they were Jewish, but they also wanted them to experience other customs.  I see no harm in getting him that toy if that's what he wants.  It won't turn him Jewish, I promise! 

[dwggs]

That is a funny story .. I don't see the harm in exposing to to different ways of life.

LOL!! Thanks everyone, I think I am going to get it for him from "Santa", at least he still believes in him! And my husband calls me a Jew because of his ignorance thinking every Jewish person in the world is 'cheap'. Little does he know, I just found out from his mother today that he is quarter Jewish because his alcoholic grandmother cheated on her husband back in the 40's, her husband dies and out comes baby #3 which was my husbands father. She had an affair with a Jewish gentleman. So our name sake would be totally different! Wow, I have to check this out on Ancestry.com now! Interesting stuff folks!! lol
