Hanukkah – A Celebration of Lights

AO: middle-tooth
Q: sooner
PAX: Barney, Cowboy, DrRupp, Topanga, Young and Restless, Betty Ford, Esposa, Moped (DR – Athens GA)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
Active Warm up to the sounds of Jack Black and Adam Sandler

8 Crazy Nights

Each night, we play the dradel and light a candle. The dradel sets the rep count by 4 multiples of 4: ש (Shin) = 4, נ (Nun) = 8, ה (Hey) = 12, ג (Gimel) = 16. Eight squat buy in for the night. First part of the night is to run out on the field and do eight menorah Maccabees (aka plank jack burpee with a star jump). Each pax returns to the new exercise equipment that no one has used yet and picks something new completing the number of reps dictated by the dradel. Can’t do the same exercise twice.

After each nights game, plank for the pax. Gemini attempted to give us hebrew blessings. It worked about half of the time. The PAX was not impressed.

A very educational Hanukkah playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5kfbpR6ApGjEQYAHoyr0ci?si=ncW9H7FuSBGgyHMRgw2FAw&pi=ulG2ud86TwOLs
