but his pandering to Jews will not win him many Jewish votes...at least not from any Jews that I know.

I do appreciate Hillary making her message (5.00 / 1) (#47)

discretely personal and universally human without setting apart the Jewish people as a separate group like what Obama did in his message.

Obama's message (none / 0) (#99)

reads like a lesson on Passover in particular and the Jewish people in particular. How surprising (not).

Heading out to Passover supper (5.00 / 3) (#8)
by Cream City on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 05:56:08 PM EST
with my Jewish spouse and friends now, and we thank you.  I have so enjoyed learning the rituals, making them laugh when it's my turn to attempt prayers in Hebrew.  But it's well worth it for the kosher yummies waiting for us (after some of the unyummy stuff that's part of the rituals so feeding the mind and heart and soul while the stomach awaits. . . .).

Happy Shabbas!

Wishing you a sweet Pesach (5.00 / 4) (#13)

I'm a mongrel (half-Jewish) but I always enjoy going over to our friends' house when they break the fast on Yom Kippur.

I'm not even a mutt (5.00 / 1) (#105)

and just a hanger-on, but we did have us a good Pesach 'til all hours, probably because of your good wishes!

Now I get to look forward to the Day of Atonement -- I've been waiting a year.  Every healthy marriage ought to have such a great tradition . . as then it's required of us to just STFU and be tolerant of our human frailties for the next 364 days. :-)

A shout-out to the Tribe from the Top Cats (5.00 / 1) (#49)
by Ellie on Sat Apr 19, 2008 at 07:49:53 PM EST
Will email all requests in this thread, observant or not, an MP3 of the ska-band Top Cats kicking serious tookus with their tune, Let Them Go.* ("Oh, great Pharaoh, let them go let them go let them go go go ...")

Smokin' on it's own merits, but also a hands down winner of the Smallest Micro-Genre Evah: Ska Klezmer.

And WTF, you can dance to it to. (Also, I'm hard-wired to respect artists' copyrights, so if you like this tune, please look into Top Cats' rekkid, Mr. Donkey Paradise and consider buying it.)
