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)

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.

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

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

quincie, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:09 (fourteen years ago) link

Crying made you feel like a real Jew?

Mordy, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:09 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Wrinkles, I'll see you on the other side (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

Jew even

Wrinkles, I'll see you on the other side (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

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

quincie, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:33 (fourteen years ago) link

WHY U SO HARD TO LEARN, HEBREW?

quincie, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 18:34 (fourteen years ago) link

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

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 16 February 2010 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Wrinkles, I'll see you on the other side (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 21:40 (fourteen years ago) link

one month passes...

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

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

curmudgeon, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 20:55 (fourteen years ago) link

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

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 23:51 (fourteen years ago) link

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

tokyo rosemary, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 23:55 (fourteen years ago) link

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).

quincie, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:45 (fourteen years ago) link

"haven't we suffered enough"

not to mention constipation

Zeno, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:50 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

curmudgeon, Friday, 26 March 2010 14:03 (fourteen years ago) link

Passover time Monday

curmudgeon, Monday, 29 March 2010 03:50 (fourteen years ago) link

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

by another name (amateurist), Monday, 29 March 2010 03:51 (fourteen years ago) link

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

by another name (amateurist), Monday, 29 March 2010 03:52 (fourteen years ago) link

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:

curmudgeon, Monday, 29 March 2010 12:13 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

quincie, Monday, 29 March 2010 15:00 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Mordy, Monday, 29 March 2010 15:03 (fourteen years ago) link

so psyched for SEDER!

shite new answers (cutty), Monday, 29 March 2010 15:27 (fourteen years ago) link

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

Alex in Montreal, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 05:29 (fourteen years ago) link

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.
