#hebrew fails

[Video ID: A Jewish woman (Rabbi Yael Buechler, @midrashmanicures on Instagram) speaks to the camera: We have reached a new low in holiday product fails. This treat box is for Sukkot. It's featured on Amazon and Sukkot is a holiday that doesn't get a lot of love so kudos for having a product for Sukkot. It says Happy Sukkot and in the Hebrew it says--wait for it--tuchus! Happy tuchus! Tuchus is Sukkot spelled backwards. The product clearly wasn't vetted in the Hebrew. This other treat box just says Tuchus. I'm thinking we should create some sort of governing body that "certifies" Jewish holiday products as being "kosher" because this is a new low. Anyway I want to wish you all a very happy Tuchus." The first box she shows is pale green decorated with images of apples, pomegranates, and branches and the words "happy sukkot" and תוכוס. The second treat box is pale orange with a similar motif and the word תוכוס. End ID]

[Video ID: A Jewish woman (Rabbi Yael Buechler, @midrashmanicures on Instagram) speaks to the camera sitting inside a pop-up tent decorated like a sukkah: "I just got this super cute pop-up Sukkah on Amazon. It was really easy to assemble, and it even comes with these pre-cut paper slips for making paper chains for your Sukkah. Adorable. The Sukkah is perfect. Except for one slight issue. It read Sameach Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah. It actually says Hanukkah Happy! Are we celebrating Hanukkah in the Sukkah? I doubt the makers of this product know this, but according to the Book of Maccabees Hanukkah is actually based off of the holiday of Sukkot. You see, when we rededicated the temple in Jerusalem we celebrated we had most recently missed. So sort of like Christmas in July, Hanukkah is like Sukkot in the winter. In any event I want to wish you a Sameach Hanukkah and continued Happy Tuchus." At the end of the video, she pulls out a pale orange treat box that reads תוכוס. End ID]
