Eminematzah

( humor )

Hilarious holiday wishes keep coming, this time from Smooth-E, the Jewish Eminem-esque alter ego of comedian (aka Eric Schwartz) via jibjab. This one is called, quite plainly, Matzah. Tug at the tiztizs by Ben.

NEW! Matzo Brei in a Box

( Food and humor )

Happy Passover!

CTA Shuts Down Red Line

( News )

Its not that bad yet, but its closer than the birthbangs of the moshiach, to be sure. This summer, CTA service cuts will leave a third of Red Line and Brown Line El rush hour riders without a way to get to work. Oh, and they’re raising fares to $2. And you [...]

Chagall’s Windows @ Art Institute Removed

During an upcoming construction project at the Art Institute of Chicago, Marc Chagall’s “American Windows” will be removed temporarily on May 2, 2005. If you want to see the Jewish artist’s 1976 commission in the next four years, visit the museum before 5/2. Construction will be completed in 2009! Tug of the tzitzis [...]

Searching for crumbs

Does it strike anyone else as funny that at Pesach, we scour our homes and lives for chametz crumbs of which to rid ourselves, then by Rosh Hashana our pockets are full enough of them again for Tashlich…

Habemus Papam

A several years back, I performed in the world debut of Chris Moore’s musical Pope Joan, the apocryphal (?) story of the only female Pope. It was an interesting romp to say the least, and not controversial. As the token Yid in the cast, it was an interesting romp through a foreign world. [...]
