The Spanish drove out their Jews back in 1492, and now Jordan wants to join in.

the tango is from argentina, where there's actually a sizeable jewish population!

i'm having a piece of honey cake, the jewish version of christmas fruit cake! no one likes it, but there it is.

WTF, man? Last year you were hating on gefilte fish, and this year you're hating on HONEY CAKE? What will it be next year? Etrogs? Challah? Walks in the park?

HJY!!!!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 03:19 (twenty years ago)

i've never had an etrog. it's just an ugly lemon innit?

― 100% WJE (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 03:27 (twenty years ago)

i don't think i'm a real jew. i must be a roman catholic; i like their holiday desserts so much better.

― 100% WJE (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

I've never had an etrog either, but the point is this: who would hate an etrog? What has an etrog ever done to deserve hatorade?

We have hamantashen, honey cake, and get to fry up anything under the sun for Chanukah. The dessert situation isn't all bad.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

Fuck all y'all, I'm making hamantashen for breakfast.

(people don't eat etrogs, do they?)

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 03:57 (twenty years ago)

if you guys wanna laugh check out these sites

www.bangitout.com, onlysimchas.com and frumster.com. have fun

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

there are jews in my neighborhood handing out flyers to white people inviting them to all the high holiday stuff at the jewish center. there's free food and it says that "Everyone is Welcome". not sure if that means me though. i'd like some free food and also cute jewish boys

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

if you guys wanna laugh check out these sites

that bangitout site is horrible! i bet it was started by the ku klux klan to make us look bad.

phil, they probably just figure asians would have no interest. i think asian culture (even the assimilated asian-american culture) is completely alien to orthodox jews, and they probably believe asians look at them like aliens as well.

― 100% WJE (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 07:38 (twenty years ago)

but there are millions of jewish boys out there with non-jewish asian girlfriends.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 07:42 (twenty years ago)

they're not hasidic though! they're heathen reformed jews like me!

― 100% WJE (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 07:53 (twenty years ago)

hot heathen reformed jews. mmmm

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 07:54 (twenty years ago)

I have a pattern to knit an etrog.

The local paper's article on the High Holy Days quoted my high school Spanish teacher! He is "old school" and doesn't think email is an appropriate way to ask for forgiveness.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

My supervisor, manager and director are all Jewish (2 Orthodox, 1 Hassidic) so I'm slacking off big time! Woo! Until our company got bought out just over a year ago we all used to get all the Jewish holidays off as extra holiday but bastard Centr1ca stopped that.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 11:32 (twenty years ago)

my kids are going to temple today with their mother and grandmother, what is the over/under on "number of times sammy gets told to shush during a really quiet part of the service" or "bathroom breaks taken by emma"? (answers to follow later on)

s. has decided he's the most jewish boy in the world, his fantasy football team is "fiddlers on the roof" and he's really psyched that ron stoppable had a bar mitzvah, his (considerably more secular) mother and I are like "wha' happ'nd?"

Jody, when you started here did you post as "Jody Aleph" and then later increment, in Custosian fashion?

― k/l (Ken L), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

no. no i didn't.

― 100% WJE (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 4 October 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

what is the over/under on "number of times sammy gets told to shush during a really quiet part of the service"
4.5

or "bathroom breaks taken by emma"? (answers to follow later on)
3.5

for comparisons' sake:

number of times this morning that people turned to look at my mother and I yapping during a really (not necessarily quiet part of the service):

number of bathroom breaks I took:

(I have a cold though)

(I am like twice as old at Matt's kids' ages combined)

How can no one like honey cake?! It sounds so good!

― youn, Tuesday, 4 October 2005 23:01 (twenty years ago)

We made hamantaschen today, but my fiance wanted to try a new dough recipe and it turned out much more bread/challah-like than pastry-like. Still good, though.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 13 October 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone have off work? I sure as hell don't. Jaymc does though, because he looks Jewish.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 13 October 2005 16:19 (twenty years ago)

Not me.

i don't have to go in today. i'm not fasting though.

At least they didn't drop the Torah this year.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 13 October 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

i should listen to the electric prunes' release of an oath: the kol nidre.

― glasgow coma score (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 13 October 2005 16:51 (twenty years ago)

they dropped the torah?! what shul?
