Title: Chanukah gelt/x-mas bonuses for JTF
Post by: The One and Only Mo on December 01, 2009, 11:47:24 PM

Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite for not donating yet, but it's kind of hard with no credit card and a fixed income, but bli neder a shtickel kesef will be going to JTF. Having said that, it IS the holiday season, and whichever holiday you observe/celebrate there is always an added incentive to give tzedakah/charity. I'm not sure if JTF accepts money as an X-mas bonus, so let's just call it chanuka gelt ,lol. Every dollar helps, folks.

For those whose Hebrew is a little facacta I will translate:

"bli neder a shtickle kesef"

"No promise a little money"

I still haven't found a good source about "facacta" which sound like "verkackter" in German, with the actual meaning of "[censored], lousy, miserable"...

Yes, facacta in yiddish has the same meaning...

* farkatk(e)  -  lousy, ridiculous    - That's a facacta idea.

I knew facacta meant not so good. Is shtickle another yiddish work that works in hebrew as well?
