HEY JEWS

these egg matzos taste exactly like the plain ones wtf

Weird, cuz usually they don't. What's the brand?

Manischewitz passover egg "crackers" (i.e., mini matzo)

tam tams?!

This thread could use some of this:

^^^not actually Jews, but inspiring nonetheless.

Y'all eating "matzah bri" (scrambled eggs with matzah) and gefilte fish and left-over chicken soup still...I am

I've finished the egg matzah crackers (lol at "according to ashkenazic practice, all egg matzo may be eaten only by the young, infirm or aged. If you are of sephardic ancestry, consult your rabbi.") and am moving on to the Rakusen's Tea Matzos and the Yehuda regular matzah. Have not yet attempted matzah brei, but intend to this weekend.

And I'm having pizza tonight. Not matzah pizza, real pizza. Sorry to let you down, Jews.

Obama and oil drilling and now this.

To what extent can you justify a tortilla as not-fully- of semi-leavened bread?

hmmm if you are Sephardic and it is a corn tortilla, I think maybe you can get away with it? But no way if you are Askenazic.

Ring jells are addictive. I need to moisten the matzah less on my matzah brei.

my matzo balls came out. . . too light and fluffy? Like they actually could do with being heavier? I suppose I could have followed a recipe, but what's the fun in that?

Each year, the Forward names the Forward 50, recognizing the most influential American Jews today. Join us for a panel discussion with recent Forward 50 honorees, including: Ruth Messinger, president of the American Jewish World Service; Dmitriy Salita, a world championship contender in boxing's junior welterweight division; and Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard

I should go to this 6th & I DC synagogue panel event and harass Bill Kristol. Ugh. Ask him about both his mistakes small (his well-know factual errors in columns) and big (his role in pushing imaginary weapons of mass destruction as an argument for the Iraq war)

Or maybe I can get the boxer to take care of him!

Corn and corn products are not kosher for Passover b/c corn swells when it absorbs moisture and that's considered too similar to "rising" even though it has no relation to yeast action or leavening or anything remotely addressed by the proscription against not waiting for your bread to rise.

On the other hand, the total ridiculousness of it all gives us Passover coke with real sugar.

Question: is Heeb magazine always so terrible? Flipped through the Heep 100 issue and was all wtf hipsters.

why would a magazine called Heeb never be terrible?

Can't remember the name right now but I always liked way back when a NY fanzine about Jewish stuff and Jews in rock, penned by a gal into Unrest and Teenbeat Records and stuff. Much better than Heeb.

Heeb is an abomination - Sarah Silverman's cover shot for it was funny tho

curmudgeon - Plotz?

whole wheat matza: indistinguishable from carpet sample

x-post, yes I think it was Plotz

happy obscure yet still historically important holiday fellow jews!

On Thursday May 27th, Sire / Warner Bros. Recording artist Regina Spektor will perform at The White House for the first ever White House reception in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month.

Spektor is thrilled to join President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to celebrate the range and depth of the Jewish American heritage and contributions to American culture.

"Having moved to America from Soviet Russia as a child with my family, we dreamed of reconnecting with our religious traditions and of making America our home" says Spektor. "Having lived here for over twenty years, it is an unimaginable honor to be invited to the White House by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, to an event celebrating Jewish Americans, and to be counted among them. Nothing in the world could make us feel more accepted and at home!"

The celebration will take place in The White House with guests representing the many walks of life that have helped weave the fabric of American history. Invitees include a range of community leaders and prominent Jewish Americans from Olympians and professional athletes to members of Congress, business leaders, authors and military veterans.

Jewish American Heritage Month? Never heard of it. I'm kind of meh re Regina Spektor.

me meh too but she is pretty cute

I saw! Do you think anyone has contacted the guy who started a Yiddish library? It's in Amherst, allied with one of the colleges. He wrote that book, I think it was called Words on Fire, about trying to rescue Yiddish books all over the East Coast and have a place to put them, it was an awesome read.

It wouldn't take the place of a living bookstore but maybe their publishing program wouldn't go to waste or whatever??

There's a few Yiddish libraries in NY (at least one associated with YIVO and a famous archive in Crown Heights), so there are def places it could go. But it's a shame for the last store to close.

I wonder what exhibit programs the Jewish Museum has done on Yiddish works. I don't keep up w their schedule, just went to a couple of particular exhibits (the history of comics one and the Maurice Sendak one, both a few years ago).

From a press release sent to me:

On Monday, August 30th, bandleader Arturo O'Farrill will bring Mazeltov, Mis Amigos back to life at Yoshi's- an album of "Yiddish Favorites in Latin Tempo". The incredible line-up includes Larry Harlow, Wil-Dog of Ozomatli, and the Burton Sisters, performing together for the first time in 55 years. This show is ONE NIGHT ONLY!

Yoshi's in San Francisco. Harlow is Jewish

lol, i went to school with these guys

Happy Purim, Yiddin!

I'm going to wear my hamantaschen earrings tomorrow.

I'm suprised I havent noticed much hullaballoo around here today, usually there's some dude driving rounnd playing hip hop and rapping in hebrew.

I had this idea recently that we should turn Purim into a grotesque caricature of itself and make it a general American drinking holiday like St. Paddy's day. Hooligans roaming the streets with groggers, haman masks, eating hamentashen and drinking maneschevitz. Whaddya say?
