Jewish Comedy

For many in the frum community- Pesach is a time of family, friends and getting close to secular Jews- that they otherwise would rarely have in their homes. In fact Pesach seems to be the only Jewish holiday in which secular Jews celebrate with their religious counterparts at the same meal. On Rosh Hashanah, you […]

I have mentioned previously that I am not fond of the seder. Waiting hours for food while telling and retelling the same timeless tales of frogs and Pharaohs has never been my forte. On top of this, I just get completely maddened by the tradition of having every kid say the Ma Nishtana in three […]

Non-Gebrokts- is the minhag or tradition that some people have not to combine wet substances with matzo for fear that it will become leavened.
You really don’t truly experience a non-gebrokts Pesach (Passover) until you stay somewhere that holds of Chassidic minhagim. Hotels feature masterful chefs which can manipulate those egg noodles and make it […]

When the comments take on the full swing of bickering a post must be made. This is in reference to last weeks pizza post. Yes this is a serious post, no I will not make this blog into a serious one. Ok so basically our dear friend Headbanger used the K-word and after our dear […]

I don’t say that very often by the way, the jews just don’t put out good stuff- but this had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. It makes fun of Sphardim by the way- and its done by the fine folks at TIUNY- the high school I went to.

To me seltzer is a Jewish drink, so Jewish in fact that some people have even taken Seltzer as a last name in many different forms, I know several folks with the last name of Zelcer which is pronounced Zeltzer which must have come from some deriviative of seltzer, maybe when the family was being […]

The only vacations that my family ever took together in my teenage and adult years were on Pesach (Passover). My father would usually start bitching to us in February about finding a cheap hotel that was as far away from Florida as possible, so we could go away for the whole pesach and not have […]

The drive was only 30 minutes but it felt like eternity- I had not eaten anything substantial since last night and my stomach had been grumbling in earnest all day long- as I tried to fend off its anger with a few nibbles on stale Swiss chocolate here and there followed up with one banana […]

For the first time in my life I stayed up for both seders in their entirety. I spent the first days of Pesach in Saratoga Springs with my father and the Rubin family. I am so proud of myself considering that last year I fell asleep at both sidurim and my ex-fiancée used it as […]
