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.

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

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.
― 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

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.
― quincie, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:44 (fourteen years ago) link
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).

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

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:

just finished my crazy wonderful seder at which i was somehow one of the only two jews present.
my mom's family didn't host a seder this yr, so i hosted one at my apartment for 15 or so friends for the second yr running. cooked a pot roast and matzoh ball soup from scratch and many other delicious things and they all turned out pretty well (although the soup itself could have been a bit stronger).
i now have mad respect for my bubbes and anyone who does yearly seders because this shit is DIFFICULT - especially when limited to 72 hours of prep time or less.
chag sameach, MoTs

reallly missing the seder this year :( last year was fun at my old apartment, and i think this might be the first year i didn't celebrate at all. meant to grab some matzoh ball soup @ the jewish deli on 1st ave but didn't.
