If you've ever spent a Shabbos dinner listening to a couple of orthodox Jews argue whether a pint of Haagen Dazs sorbet was a sufficiently kosher dessert, given that it was made in the same factory as the Haagen Dazs ice-cream and, god forbid, possibly some tiny particle of the ice cream made its way into the sorbet vat, then you would know Jews can be as meshuggah as anyone.

That sounds like heaven....sigh...

The sorbet can't possibly be kosher. Separate dishes, people, separate dishes! Also, like baseball, processed food ain't nuthin' 'til a rabbi calls it. If it was kosher it would be certified kashrut. But then you'd have to argue about which certification to use -- there are lots: OU, OK, Star-K, etc. Just a plain K doesn't mean diddly. Oh, so complicated.

I wish I was Jewish, too. But I'm having trouble seeing how a billboard can make me sick.

Fnarf are you superhuman or something? What *DON'T* you know?? I mean that in the best way possible, but it's weird, you know? I'm hoping you have at least tried to get on Jeopardy before.

the kabbalah is not normal judaism. if this guy is a kabbalah scholar, he is the equivalent of one of those crazy goyim that speak in tongues.

sometimes i feel like the resident seattle jew, there are so few of us here. one time, i was talking to someone (who shall remain nameless) and it came up that i was jewish. He said, "Oh, THAT'S why you're so funny!" Positive stereotypes.

like how "ari" is as jewish a name as "max"?

Just kidding!
