So the NJOP (National Jewish Outreach Program) is running a contest. First prize is 2 free roundtrip tickets to Israel.
The contest is called “Judaica across America”. You have to write about a Jewish Family Heirloom or make a video which I did.
I know what your thinking, I never win those contests and therefore I don’t want to waste my time with that crap, but you know what, since its a Jewish contest and its on the net, right away you have nixed half of the Jewish population from entering based on their anti-internet stances. On top of this, they asked me to enter. That must tell you something, that either my videos are so damned hilarious that they felt I could whip something up- which I did, or they are getting desperate- you decide. Click This Link for entry details.

I still want to see the video from Thursday night. Are you biased against “out-of-towners?”

Dude, first of all I live in a city 3 hours away from NYC with only about 10,000 Jews.
I just uploaded it into Google videos and for some reason it is not working, I think it may need time.
Go into google videos and search for frum satire.

Where the hell do u get the cash needed to visit 49 states? Did u aply for a backpacker scholarship?
6 Hesh // Nov 14, 2007 at 7:05 pm
You really dont need much cash, for instance last year I took 5 weeks and drove to Alaska with 2 friends. We visited the Northwest Territories, Yukon and wandered around a bunch of Alberta and British Columbia- also spent a week at at my brothers house in Colorado and it came to a grand total including all food, gas, donations to chabad, and lodging(slept outside every night even in 15 degrees)
Total was: $856 a person.
Maybe I’ll do a post on how to go on cheap trips.

Ok First of all Flatbush- what the heck is SKEWL???
Dude I love the foreskin comment and what I great idea, except I don’t have a foreskin anymore so it may not work.
And Jacob I wanted to go but for 30 bucks I could have done way more. I also dont drink, I did go to Kosher fest about 10 years ago though, when it was held on a pier.

sorry hesh, as you can tell i have some terrible typing habits which make it hard to believe that im not completely unintelligent (a visit to my blog would help you decide for yourself). i blame it on the explosion of texting as the number one source of communication for my age group. im sorry that it bothers you, im still a fan!

i heard (”it through the grapeviiiiiiine”) that hesh had better things he was doing last sunday than being at kosher-food-fest-2k7…

How do you know my tzitzit are worn out? the ends of the strings start unwinding and the fringes begin to look messy.
15 heshman // Nov 18, 2007 at 9:58 pm
How about losing half of your strings to your fly, such problems.

I totally think you should win Hesh Man- One because you are honest, but I don’t understand how that is an heirloom, instead of ranting about toilet stained tzitzis, you need to explain why THOSE are important to you…. YOU ROCK man–!!!!
love from here man!
Kentucky was the best state ever eh?
or Idaho? you should have said 50 states, cuz you’ve ventured to Canada–
