So at the reform Rosh Hashanah service I went to they blew the shofar (actually they had 4 people blowing them) even though it was Shabbat/the Sabbath (they do not blow the shofar on Shabbat in Conservative and Orthodox synagogues), and the Rabbi had his sermon on his Mac (not handwritten notes). Wow.

OK and I thought "What a Wonderful World" sing-along was bad.
Hey Jews FYI last night in Jew School I learned that according to the Talmud, pickle liquor does not count as food/drink on Yom Kippur. So I will be taking a flask of pickle juice to services.

A "fresher" take Jorgen101? Yes, how could we forget "Christian freshness" spawned Hitler, the KKK, Southern Baptist lynchings, African American Slave trade, and an entirely beautiful re-versioning that Jesus himself wasn't really Jewish but somehow a blonde-haired, blue eyed Aryan. Thank you for "freshening" up Religion Jorgen101, I'm sure everyone's money donations in the collection bins on Sunday would be greatly appreciated and everyone needs to convert to the "fresher" religion, because we all know through history what happens to those who choose not to convert ;) you're quite the intellect here on this CNN discussion. less5 minutes ago | Like | Report abuse

"When I'm on stage screaming, hitting my face with a microphone and pouring beer on my head, at least I'm singing about the Torah," said the 26-year-old founder of PunkTorah, an outreach effort to inspire Jewish spirituality.

"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.

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)

Or do we have a separate "Wow, He's Jewish" thread where us Jews express joy or shame!
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 17:12 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh, yeah. I didn't learn to lein from school. I learnt from one of the torah readers from my shul

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.
― EDB, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 21:38 (fourteen years ago) link
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
