    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Mensch" is a German noun meaning a "human". In Yiddish, "mensch" roughly means "a good person." It means a particularly good person, like a stand-up guy. (Sandy: That's 'cause, Ryan Atwood ... you're a mensch. And after tonight, I'm gonna tell you what that means.)
    • Goofs
      Sandy realizes and mentions to Kirsten that it is the first holiday since her dad died. Though this is the first holiday shown, Thanksgiving would have been the first major holiday since Caleb died in May.

      However, considering the date and the box with ornaments, it is obvious that Sandy is referring to Christmas, not to any holiday.
    • Quotes

      Seth: No wait, listen to me. This wouldn't be just an ordinary bar mitzvah, you know what this would be? Wait for it... wait... A Chrismuckkah Bar mitzvahkkah. Spell that dude!

      Ryan: That's crazy.

      Seth: Yeah? So crazy that it just might work.

      Marissa: So we throw a big party...

      Summer: And Ryan gets the money from the bar mitzvah?

      Marissa: And then we can spend the money for Johnny's surgery.

      Ryan: How's this going to work? Am I just gonna stand in front of Newport and sing in Hebrew?

      Seth: You chant, and hell yes.
