This may explain my increased secularism that started around the time I became vegetarian.

6. Noodle kugel

7. Tikkun olam as commandment

7. anything heimische...

8. Lady rabbis (in non-Orthodox movements)

9. All our base

Tikkun olam is my favorite part of Judaism ever. Concept and metaphor equally awesome.

The Golders Green and St. Louis Park eruvs.

10. sense of humor

what's the deal with "rabbi jose" btw

11. Woody Allen movies

vicky cristina barcelona?

12. Tongue (not explicitly Jewish I know)

13. Philip Roth
14. Having an entire holiday dedicated to alcohol (Purim)
15. Klezmer

14. Having an entire holiday dedicated to alcohol (Purim)

^^^this

13. Philip David Lee Roth

fixed

Today there's a blessing you can make on the sun that can only be made like once every 25 years. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, klezmer wildly OTM but I find Roth totally 100% repellent.

according to the brooklyn paper this is only the 3rd time in history that the sun is in the same position during passover that it was when it was first created

^^^^ awesome

going to an orthodox seder as a favor to moms, not looking forward to it (mostly because it goes well past midnight, is an hour and a half away, and i have to work in the morning)

One sucky thing about being Jewish: Often (like this Passover), the two days of Chag run into Shabbat, which means that observant Jews (including my family) will be keeping three days straight of no electricity and such. Almost everyone always secretly cheats around the second day to take showers.

You can take a shower, I thought, you just can't dry off? What if you stood with your arms out until you air dried?

Or put on a big fluffy bathrobe?

my dad is currently trying to make me feel guilty for not going to a sedar

you and i both know that there is no significance whatsoever to this, though. i read it in the paper.

what did the paper say?

14. Tallits look comfy. Not so different from a snuggy.

xxpost the significance is awesomeness

So kosher for pesach is stricter than regular kosher, right? That would explain why the jewish bagel store down the shops had a big sign saying "NONE OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE KOSHER FOR PASSOVER PLEASE NOTE" which I didn't quite understand til now.

I've said this before, but I'm fascinated by all these traditions and rituals in Judaism. It is very odd, now I think on it, but I grew up knowing absolute zero about Jewish culture. There just werent any orthodox jews in the city I grew up in. Where I live now OTOH is an area concentrated with mainly Hassids and Lubavicts (I think thats right?).

having just finished six months of judaism class i'm ready to drop science at my gf's family's passover

hahaha... make sure you explain the whole "all the days of our lives" thing

HEY JEWS just wanted to say "sup"

hey ice cr?m how about changing your name to c?rvel for passover

done and done - hav a nice holiday!

Haha. I won't keep kosher this year, but we'll have some sort of seder meal. So it's time to break-out the He'Brew Beer, from the Shmaltz Brewing Company.

HEY JEWS tell me your favorite things to do with matzah, also CHAROSET RECIPES PLEASE PLEASE

wife is making some kind of matzah brickle this year

fellow traveller was telling me about some sort of matzah and egg fry-up, topped with maple syrup--might try it.

hey jews im goin to seder tonite

tell em sup

happy Pesach, jews. I would be rocking this if my ancestors hadn't been forced to convert to Catholicism by damn Spaniards.

hey jews lamp says "sup"

Once every 28 years, and it was today! (was in the news since the Antwerp Jewish community assembled in a park to bless teh Sun)

quincie, that would matzoh brei

I saw a matzoh toffee recipe in Martha Stewart!

Gonna take off from work and go see the Orioles play the Yankees Thursday afternoon in Baltimore w/ my boy and then go to the second night seder at my folks. A quiet one at home tonight

mmmmm, matzoh brei

I need better matzoh brei instructions.

My Trademark, Most Requested, Absolutely Magnificent Caramel Matzoh Crunch*

*Note: I've never made this.

mmmmm, matzoh brei

So many people jumping to conclusions. Right-wing american Jew Bob Lefsetz (who gets mocked on ILM for his music industry comments) is blaming the American left and college student protestors and Countries saying Palestine should be recognized as a nation for Australia, while I see on Haaretz that the Israeli government is busy investigating what they are calling an Iranian involvement.

TBQH it seems very clear that it was antisemitic Muslim extremists, that's not really a hard conclusion to jump to. Anything else is more evidence needed. Iran backing attacks on Jews is not exactly unprecedented. If you want to talk about jumping to conclusions, you might also highlight Iranian state media pushing the narrative that this was a false flag.
