Apparently it’s a Thanksgiving tradition that the President of the United States pardon Turkey. What did they ever do to him?!

 

 

Just Kidding! Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a list of terms that were used to find JewNews. Now, I know why they found it using this term – but why on earth would someone be looking this up? Billy Joe in Nebraska who talks about “the day I met a Jew” – I’m talkin’ to you!

We didn’t create your crop-circles, Billy Joe – we don’t do manual labor!

So mine and Becky’s dog used to bark with the Shabbat horn in Jerusalem (since we lived on a high-up sort of roof apartment in Nachlaot.) Sharon Feder was nice enough to point me to this video From shmais.com which is sooooo cute! Check it out!

Water Matzos – What do you Think? http://jewnews.net/2009/09/08/blood-matzos-vs-water-matzos-what-do-you-think/ http://jewnews.net/2009/09/08/blood-matzos-vs-water-matzos-what-do-you-think/#comments Wed, 09 Sep 2009 02:48:56 +0000 Itamar Kestenbaum http://jewnews.net/?p=270

Jews of the world:

We have been accused several times over the past millennium of using the blood of Christian babies to bake our traditional Passover matzos. I don’t want to confirm or deny these allegations. However, considering our obligation to uphold our reputations as cheap – I think it’s only appropriate that we discuss the economic pros and cons of using the blood of Christian babies as opposed to plain water.

Now, from a pure economic standpoint, the blood of a christian baby can only make approximately 50 matzahs. Whereas water can make an indefinite amount. And since no death is involved in the making of a water-matzoh – it would increase the chances of us staying in the same town for more than a year!

But what about tradition?

In an interview with Yosse the “Barber,” I had the opportunity to pick his brain about the differences between an official blood-matzah and your common water-matzah. “Vel, de blood-matzah helps you fulfill your Passover obligation een de most strictest of senses – veras ze water-matzeh only fulfills it half-tuchessed” he said, adding: “plus, you just can’t beat zat home-made pure blood-matzah taste!”

Clearly water is a possible alternative – but should we sacrifice our tradition for it? What do you think?
