HEY JEWS

Oy. I know some of the people involved with this, but I wasn't sure what it was till now.

Why should I care about this? Christians adopted a "fresher" take on their religion and gave the world Stryper, Evanescence, and Creed. Screw religion.

OTM

"judaism 2.0"

somehow i feel like we've been though more than just one version in the last several thousand years. more like judaism 1,769.0.

I wish there was some kind of reasonable middle ground between being a hidebound traditionalist and a tattooed idiot blogger

it's called indifference. been working for me.

Purim, bitchez!

drunkenness!

And, according to the above image, vaginas!

Ha. Not till February 28th, right?

Correct. But it never to early for hamantachen (sp?) vaginas, really.

I have hamantaschen earrings.

Awesome.

So rapper/singer/tv actor Drake's Mom is Jewish and he had a Bar Mitzvah though he didn't go to Hebrew School. He is interviewed here by an annoying interviewer (some ugly Youtube comments included)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJJrvgYPXSo

Or do we have a separate "Wow, He's Jewish" thread where us Jews express joy or shame!

how do you have a bar mitzvah without going to Hebrew school...? did he just "wing it" through the torah portion or what?

Might've had a party but didn't read from the Torah.

My son says he just skipped class alot but that he worked with a tutor so as to read from the Torah.

Oh, yeah. I didn't learn to lein from school. I learnt from one of the torah readers from my shul

I cried in Hebrew class the other week. Felt like a real Jew!

Crying made you feel like a real Jew?

I watched A Serious Man and man did that make me feel like a real jew

Jew even

Having a Hebrew school meltdown seemed like a Jewish rite of passage, is all.

WHY U SO HARD TO LEARN, HEBREW?

Wait till you try to read it without the vowels. You might need a straight jacket then.

God... 6 years of hebrew school and all I got was an ability to kind of read - but not understand - hebrew, which I'll never have a use for*

*Actually, when I worked at a library archive last year, I was able to match transliterated titles to the original ones instead of checking the book's call number, but that's it.

yeah it is weird that I was basically taught how to read (ie pronounce) a written language but have absolutely no clue what any given words mean or how the language is even structured

Hey Jews! I'm going to the Kosher Mart later today--what sorts of Pesach-y stuff should I get?

Also, I would like to repost this:

Hey Jews I wrote a little passover ditty, sung to the chorus of "Eye of the Tiger":

It's the
Bread of affliction
It's the bread of the Jews
Risen bread--it's not kosher during Pe-sach
And my boss--says "be careful! It is con-sti-pa-ting"
I-don't-care-I-just-ate-sev-en sheeeeeeeeeets
Of the mat-zah

haven't we suffered enough

gluttons for suffering

i love quincie's jew fetish

srsly I am like 110% more into jews than I am into anything else, including bacon

omg I just learned from the WS thread that rashida jones is jewish! This is exciting news!

get into the jews
girl you got to prove
you're a first rate heeeeeeeb, yeah

^^^^^ <3 this man, even though he isn't jewish.

Awwww, how sweet. Is he gonna make matzaball soup for you?

Hey, quincie, I heard on the radio this morning that some lipsticks might not be kosher for Passover.

For Passover candy, I like the Joyva Marshmallow Twists. Or the fruit slices.

I am going to make matzah ball soup next week, though in a kitchen full of chametz.

I have THREE types of matzah at the ready. Need ideas for what to eat it with.

Not gonna worry about the lipstick given that not even my matzah ball soup is gonna be kosher (planning to use real butter instead of margarine/schmaltz/oil).

"haven't we suffered enough"

not to mention constipation

Look at these pyramid-shaped matzah-balls that some architect cooked (in today's Washington Post Food section)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/23/AR2010032300722.html

I second the marshmallow twists and the fruit slices.

Vegetarian seder at historic 6th & I synagogue in DC sold out.

Passover time Monday

i wish i had a seder to attend. no way am i going to the fucking hillel. always HATED those places.

hillel zombies: hey, what USY chapter did you go to? when did you go to israel? isn't it amazing?
me: fuck off.

I never went to the Hillel ones (was close enough to go home). I am guessing the White House seder that was the subject of a NY Times article yesterday does not resemble the Hillel ones:

Am going to a conservadox seder tonight! Excited! But then I am switching teams to Reform and not doing a second night seder. I'm ready with the matzoh, though.

Chag sameach jewbros! I'm going to my parents charedi seder

so psyched for SEDER!
