Sukkot is coming up and I just had this clear mental image about the rickety sukkah Holster gets Ransom to help him build out behind the Haus every year. The thing looks worse than the Haus, like a strong breeze will make it collapse in on itself. His freshman year, Dex takes one look at it and has a fit cause that's not how you build a sukkah. That year and every year after it's much more stable.

!! i love this also jewish!dex thank u for my life

@jewishomgcp

So I'm terrible about actually writing fic but in honor of the first night/day of Chanukah here's my headcanon of SMH playing dreidel.

It's a train wreck. The only reason it isn't banned in the Haus like most other games is bc they play it once a year and you can't have a Chanukah party without playing driedel.

Jack and Holster are super competitive and rub it in everyone's faces whenever they get gimmel.

Nursey is that one person who no matter how hard he tries can't seem to get a good spin on the dreidel.

Dex got bored five minutes into the game and started eating his gelt to the horror of Holster.

Bitty straight up abandoned the game to go check on his pie and has to get dragged back into the room every time it's his turn so he can spin.

He doesn't even wait to check what it is after spinning he's just gone. Jack is stuck having to collect his winnings or put one in. He'd prefer to quit and let his boyfriend have his gelt but Holster had a rules hissyfit and so he's stuck playing until he's out of gelt naturally. He keeps hoping for shin but keeps getting nun and hay.

Farmer is one of those people who can spin the dreidel on its head and she proceeds to do it every time it's her turn.

The first time she did it play stopped for a good ten minutes because everyone needed to be taught how to do it. Holster already could and Ransom learned freshman year, but the rest of them are useless at it. Jack tries so hard but he can only get it occasionally and he totally sulks about it.

It was during this interlude that Bitty first tried to leave and was forced to stay.

Chowder has spent the entire game wrapped around Farmer who is almost as competitive as Jack and Holster but keeps getting distracted by how comfy her boyfriend is.

He and Lardo are just watching since they don't want to get caught up in the drama and eventual fight between Holster and Jack.

Plus he doesn't like the way the chocolate tastes/feels in his braces so he's okay not winning any.

Chowder and Farmer are adorable and initially they kept getting fined which was okay since during the game a fine is just putting a coin in the middle. Farmer won it all back on her turn anyway.

They had to stop using that rule however when Bitty tried to exploit it to get out of playing. It was the most sickening and impressive two minutes anyone had ever experienced as Bitty called Jack every pet name in the book while sitting in his lap and staring Holster dead in the eyes and slowly putting coin after coin in the center.

Holster wouldn't let him get out of playing but he did finally relent and let him check on his pies in the kitchen when it wasn't his turn.

Tango spends the entire game asking what the different letters mean every time its his turn. The amount of times he has had it all explained to him is truly frightening. Holster can't tell if he's being trolled and at this point he doesn't want to find out.

Whiskey is doesn't talk throughout the game and spins quickly on his turn and is that person who always seems to get gimmel or hay no matter how badly he spins.

Shitty at some point decided to play strip dreidel without telling anyone he was doing it or letting anyone except Lardo know the rules.

According to her he's doing things correctly but the rest of them can't tell.

Ford is the one who bought everything and she's having fun playing but she's come to realize that she did not buy enough gelt or driedels.

Thank god Lardo showed up with a bag of two dozen plastic driedels and a bag of gelt bigger than both of her fists. Otherwise there would have been an issue when Whiskey got gimmel for the third time in a row and Holster chucked the dreidel across the room and proclaimed it a "bullshit dreidel."

This has happened around half a dozen times by the time they're halfway through the game. Holster is not the sole person responsible for needing a new driedel though. Jack has also thrown driedels and there was that one spin of Nursey's so bad that the driedel went off the table and they're still not sure where it went just that it's gone.

Thank god Lardo talked her into leaving the nice one she brought from home on the kitchen table with Jack's menorah and the leftovers of the obscene amount of latkas Bitty and Holster made for dinner. She rather likes it and it'd suck if it got broken in the scuffle.

@jewishomgcp Your most recent submission about the Zimmerman’s slowly stopping going to temple got me thinking about bb!jack going to religious school. I don’t know how it’d be different from my own experiences, but I started going to religious school for a couple hours Sunday morning in elementary school, added Hebrew classes Wednesday after school in third grade, and then sixth or seventh grade I added Monday nights spent at my temple as pre-bat mitzvah then pre-confirmation schooling. I dropped out after my bat mitzvah in eight grade, but my sister went on to get confirmed in tenth grade.

So just. Imagine Jack. His parents put him into Sunday school to get him in touch with his heritage and to get him out of the house for something other than hockey, not realizing just how much of a time commitment two hours every Sunday would grow to in a couple of years time. Yeah Hebrew classes conflict with hockey when they start but they make it work since it makes Jack happy and it’s important that he doesn’t spend all his time at the rink. By the time he graduates to bar mitzvah classes and is getting to the age where he can join the youth group it’s conflicting more and more with hockey.

At some point I see Jack having to decide whether he’s going to continue religious schooling or not. And if he is does he stop after his bar mitzvah? Does he go on to confirmation? Can he even continue if he gets drafted by a juniors team and goes to live with a billet family?

And part of me wants to say that he does religious school up until his bar mitzvah and then cuts it out in favor of hockey, cause that’s what I did (sorta). But a larger part of me feels like he just gives it up at like ten or eleven cause he thinks he can’t have both. By that point his parents are pretty forgetful for anything that isn’t Hanukkah or Passover which are hard to miss and pretty mainstream anyway. It’s hard for him to give it up but at least he still has hockey.

Part of me wants him getting back in touch with his studies and his religion post-overdose but I feel like even if he does he comes to Samwell still thinking that he can’t have both. It isn’t until one of the seniors on the team drags everyone to the Shabbat dinner that Hillel is putting on early in the year that he gets to talking to the faculty and realizes maybe he can have both. It’s as he’s talking to the Rabbi about that week’s d'var (genesis, how appropriate) that he gets talked into taking a course with her in the spring and winds up rediscovering his love of his religion and also falling in love with history. That class is what ends up convincing Jack to become a history major. Of course Jack ends up taking Hebrew as his language requirement for Samwell. The first time he’s able to read from the Torah and give the d'var with the help of the Rabbi is a memory Jack will treasure forever.
