Guy Scores Trashy “JILF” With Super Dreidel
Hanukkah, 2009 – Major magazines have recently heralded this the era of the JILF, a Jew I’d Like to F***. For the 2009 holidays, all you need to meet a JILF is an iPhone and Super Dreidel.
A bachelor who prefers his privacy, let’s call him Martin Jewstein, was at a recent Trashy Lingerie event and could not think of a way to approach one of the beautiful models.
To pass the time, he pulled out his iPhone and began playing Super Dreidel, an app featuring originally recorded music and vibrant illustrations. It was then that a Trashy Lingere model, lets call her Rebekah Jewberg, approached him from behind and asked, “Is that a dreidel on your iPhone?” “Yes it is,” Jewstein replied. He entered her name and his name into the game and they began taking turns spinning the dreidel on the iPhone screen.
Jewstein and Jewberg were later seen leaving the party together, and the next day were spotted at Canter’s Deli playing Super Dreidel in the clothes that they had been wearing the night before.
After hearing of this tale, one John Notajew downloaded the app and took it on his iPod Touch to another Trashy Lingerie event. Like clockwork, model Rachel Jewman spotted the spinning dreidel on his iPod Touch and the two were seen three days later holding hands at The Grove while eating frozen yogurt.
Super Dreidel appeals to people of all ages. The game allows 2 to 8 players to spin a traditional Hanukkah dreidel on the touchscreen while the app does all the work. From now on, owners of the iPhone and iPod Touch will never again be at a party looking for a dreidel or gelt as Super Dreidel takes care of everything.
iPhone Debuts In Israel, Bringing Digital Dreidels
December 8, 2009 – This week, Israel’s three largest mobile carriers begin officially selling the iPhone. For the last two and a half years, Israelis had been forced to purchase iPhones abroad and unlock them for use at home. Beginning this Thursday, smartphone enthusiasts in Israel will be able to purchase an iPhone at home.
Hanukkah is just around the corner and Israelis will be getting their iPhones just in time for the holiday. In addition to preparing their homes for Hanukkah parties, many Jews get their iPhones and iPod Touches ready for Hanukkah with just the right apps. The most popular apps on the iTunes store are games, and the iTunes store is filled with Jewish puzzles and Menorah games. By far the most popular Hanukkah game is Dreidel, and the iTunes store offers a large number of Dreidel games for the iPhone and iPod touch.
The best selling Dreidel app for Hanukkah 2009 is “Super Dreidel.” Featuring originally recorded music and vibrant illustrations, Super Dreidel appeals to people of all ages. The game allows 2 to 8 players to spin a traditional Hanukkah dreidel on the touchscreen while the app does all the work. This innovative app offers three different versions of the game: Traditional Dreidel, the faster moving Vegas Dreidel, and the super-fast Turbo Dreidel. All three versions allow you to enter every player’s name, choose how much gelt each player begins with, and even limit the number of rounds to the game.
From now on, owners of the iPhone and iPod Touch in Israel will never again be at a party looking for a dreidel or gelt as Super Dreidel takes care of everything. It comes in handy with kids, too. As Super Dreidel co-creator Jeff Howard says, “The other night at a restaurant, my friend’s four year old took Super Dreidel, entered the name of everyone at the table and started spinning that dreidel. A few minutes later he shouted, ‘Mom, you just won!’ I didn’t get my iPhone back for an hour.”
The dreidel in Super Dreidel does use a Shin, not a Pei as is normally used in Israel, because the app was originally designed for the market outside the Jewish homeland. Now that iPhones are available in Israel, No Bars can begin work on an official version of Super Dreidel for Israel.
