The first case of mad cow disease has been discovered in Israel. Gee, I hope this doesn’t make any people in the Middle East go crazy!

Wait a minute ………. what if some extremists within the Jewish faith are offended by this (below) ?? Shouldn’t they take to the streets and demand the beheading of the organizers ?? Isn’t that the proper response ???

A menorah made entirely of Lego pieces will rise 8 feet high as part of this year’s Hanukkah celebration in the Twin Cities.
Organizers are saying it will be the largest menorah that the state has every seen. It will be on display starting Tuesday at the Byerly’s grocery store in St. Louis Park. It will remain there all through the holiday, which begins Tuesday at sundown and lasts eight days.
Children are also being invited to enter a Lego menorah competition and enter their most creative Lego menorahs. Then, the public can vote on the entries at the store or online.
See www.livinglegacymn.com for details.
The Lego menorah events are sponsored by the Minneapolis Chabad Lubavitch worship house in Minnetonka.
Hanukkah, known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day celebration of the Jews’ victory over the Syrian-Greek oppressors nearly 2,200 years ago. When the victors arrived in Jerusalem, only a smidgen of oil remained to light the Temple’s menorah. Somehow, the tiny flame burned for eight days, until messengers showed up with more oil. Jews light candles for eight days to commemorate the miracle.
