How Do You Jew

  • Movie review: You Don’t Mess With the Zohan

    Hilarious. Chock full of Adam Sandler’s typical bathroom jokes and 80s-centric humor, this movie (Flash heavy site) won’t disappoint his enormous day-to-day fan base. But the movie is also packed with tons of audience-specific gags that are only truly funny if you a) speak decent colloquial Hebrew, b) spent time in Israel in the 80s…

  • HDYJ Podcast: Episode 1

    So this newest version of WordPress I’m now running, after that wacked-out update, has this handy “add media” gadget right in the interface instead of relying on a plugin, so I’m going to try it with the already-recorded episode 1. If this works, I’ll come back at ‘ya with another show this week… Here goes…

  • High time

    It’s high time I updated my theme anyway. It’s high time I went to bed for the night. It’s party time because I recovered my blog!!! Hooray! Coming up: Official posting of HDYJ podcast episode 1, to be followed shortly by episode 2; review of Beards of Our Forefathers; a new theme for the site;…

  • Kaiser Temperamental

    There’s that Kaiser joke I was looking for the other day… Anyway, I realized I forgot to post the proof of my daughter’s cuteness from that visit, so I needed to come back here, and I also got some more information about the reasoning behind her not getting the shot a day early. First, the…

  • Something…something…COMPLETE!

    I’ve been wearing a kippah full time now for three years, I think (somebody can check me on this; I’m pretty sure I have previously blogged about this), and that one little mitzvah definitely has me thinking more consciously about all the other mitzvot I observe and those I don’t. There are some mitzvot that…

  • HMO = Hellacious Medical Offerings

    OK, that was a stretch, but I couldn’t come up with a good Kaiser joke. I just need to vent my frustration at the situation I encountered yesterday when I took Hadarya for a physical and vaccination appointment. Now, I’ll begin by saying that we love Hadarya’s pediatrician. Dr. S is a sweet, caring professional…

  • D’var Torah: B’Chukotay

    Yeah, I know I’m posting it a week late, but I delivered it on time (Shabbat, 24 May 2008, 19 Iyar 5768) at Tifereth Israel. Among other things, B’Chukotay is notable for the inclusion of the tochecha, the section of punishments I refer to below, which, according to tradition, is to be read quickly and…

  • Earth Israeli Girls are Easy?

    I don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed “courtesy” of Reuters Oddly Enough, emphasis added: Wolf whistle works, woman strips WELLINGTON (Reuters) – Road workers in a small New Zealand town got their wish granted when a woman stripped saying she was fed up with their wolf-whistles. The Israeli tourist was about to use…

  • Punchline looking for a joke

    Yeah, yeah, so I’m a parent now, so that’s supposed to make me all “mature” and “grown up” and blahblahblah?! HA! We took our daughter to the doctor yesterday, as she’s had a rash on her torso for several days that turned out NOT to be heat rash; she also displayed a decreased appetite over…
