There are some organizations that have grant money for people who do things outside of traditional synagogues to get young Jewish people involved in Jewish life, and I'm going to guess that they got one of those grants -- I can't imagine how they'd pay for all this food otherwise.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Naw, Jessica, you can hang out with Greg. I think I'm going to see if I can find a copy of the movie in the discount bin.
Hil, that sounds really nice. I'm glad you were able to go, and comfortable sneaking out a little early.

Also, the host made a big point of telling everyone, "We're all at different points on our Jewish journey, and we all came to Judaism differently, and everyone is accepted and welcome here, so we don't check your Jew Card at the door, and we don't ask each other, 'Is that a Jewish name?' or 'You don't look Jewish' or anything like that." The guy sitting in front of me -- the only black person there -- stifled a laugh. Less than an hour later, I heard someone asking him, "So, I didn't get your story. I assume you weren't born Jewish, right?"
Really. People. Is it that difficult to not be that person?

Same. Much to the amazement of my children.

Seriously. It sounds like a wonderful gathering with terrific hosts. Hopefully most people will listen to their sage advice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Why would you deprive yourself of so much amusement and Sam Elliott? And Philip Seymour Hoffman!
There's bowling, Nihilism and production numbers. Sometimes all at the same time.
