I have come in contact with many folks who read this blog and google the words or concepts they don’t understand, I have always thought of Jewish Geography to be self explanatory, but the way that frummies play it is one of a kind. Frummies love Jewish Geography so much that even at concerts, the lead singer will play it from the stage – hence the following video I took at a Miami Boys Choir concert in which this happens.

JG isn’t much of a game.
Completely off topic, and I’m going out on a limb here, but I was wondering if anyone would mind translating this for me into Hebrew (phonetically so I can read it). Thanks!!
” Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
shall come to thee, Oh Israel”
very cute video. kind of sounds like he is playing jewish geograpy comedy club style. i was waiting for him to heckle the people in the front row!
Yeah, go to any comedy show, they do that. Typically, the Comedy Cellar starts out with all 5 boros. Then they ask if anyone’s from Jersey, then he branches out a bit.
A little background first: I was invited to the club by a Saudi, who was rooming with me at the time. Everyone there was from his ESL class. We had people from Korea, Nepal, China, and others. I happened to have been chilling with the Saudi group. So the MC was going around asking everyone else where they were from. When he got to the Nepalese, for example, he asked “shouldn’t you be up in some mountain meditating?” So one of the Saudis raised his hand; when the MC called on him, he got cold feet, so I volunteered that he was from Saudi Arabia. The MC gave a very typical response: “Oh no, everyone look out for this guy! If you see him dropping his bag here, everyone get out of the club and RUN FOR IT!” Then he asked if there were any Jews in the room, and I naturally gave a shout-out. The MC, noting that I was clearly friends with the Saudis exclaimed “whoa, what have we here, a Jew and a Saudi sitting together?” We both nodded. “Wow! I guess world peace is possible after all!”
Yeah, Yerachmiel Begun stand-up comedy? I’d heckle him!
Bo-ee Bo-ee, Emmanuel

Thank you so much Lakewood Observer!!
pls make more posts about sephardim, especially sys from brooklyn and deal. i relish the oppurtunity to rip them a new asshole.
i just read your old post about them and the reaction from ppl who call themselves sephardim instantly turned me into a self hating sephardi.
sephardim need to learn how to take the stick out of their collective asses. they just look pathetic to ashkenazim and to many fellow sephardim for the way they react.
so eat this you uptight sephardim:
sephardi girls are hairier and hornier than ashkenazim (thats not neccesarily a bad thing).
morrocans , especially, in israel have violent tempers and are more disposed to violence and crime.
sephardim on average have a lower iq than ashk .
sephardim tend to be very selfish and clannish (all these chesed orgs for instance are ashki founded and run).
sephardi girls usually are submissive and not equal to men
there are more wifebeaters in the seph. community than there are in the ashki community.
most “sephardim” are not real sephardim; they have no connection to spain and portugal.
that being said, hook me up with kibbe any day over kugel and hook me up with sephardi chicks any day over ashki girls.
geez tomer, easy on the ignorance…
Shut your bigoted pie hole. And yes, I am Ashkenazi.
Right, because there are only five regions in the world–the NY/NJ area, Toronto, Miami, London, and everything else is S’dom.
