Meaning of bubbe meise | Babel Free
Examples
“If you look⟳ ahead to the second book of the Maccabees, you will see⟳ that Judah did not embrace the life of the tzaddik […] No, Judah discovered […] that war, not holiness, is good business. He spent the years after the Maccabean victory pillaging whatever small settlements happened to strike⟳ his fancy. So if some Hebrew school teacher feeds you full of bubbemeises about the Jews only having enough sacred oil to light⟳ the eternal flame for one day […] don't believe⟳ it for a minute.”
