Happy Rosh Hashana all you TF Jews!

kitryne		2007-09-12 01:28:19 PM

The guy that knocked up my sister is a non-practicing half-joo...can I come to the party?

SchlingFo		2007-09-12 01:29:30 PM

kitryne: non-practicing half-joo

Someone will be along to correct you on this shortly.

kitryne		2007-09-12 01:31:45 PM

SchlingFo: Someone will be along to correct you on this shortly.

But seriously, it's only his top half. His bottom half wouldn't pass a Jewish inspection, if you know what I mean.

01SSJay		2007-09-12 01:35:26 PM

My girl will be at her parents house tonight... its pork and shrimp night at the 01SSJay household.

01SSJay		2007-09-12 01:36:04 PM

kitryne: But seriously, it's only his top half. His bottom half wouldn't pass a Jewish inspection, if you know what I mean.

And you know this how?

kitryne		2007-09-12 01:37:15 PM

01SSJay: And you know this how?

Nothing exciting. His mother told us when we were all discussing the pros and cons of whether they should circumsize my nephew.

Jules_Winnfield		2007-09-12 01:39:21 PM

It's Rush-a-homa, I must be home from the office by 4 pm

OurManFlint1		2007-09-12 01:39:38 PM

Special Rosh Hashanah Greetings! (new window)

Diogenes		2007-09-12 01:41:25 PM

I'm baking up a few batches of rugelach as we speak. Apricot, cinnamon, chocolate, and raspberry.

kitryne can't have any.

tallguywithglasseson		2007-09-12 01:48:08 PM

Well if it doesn't involve drinking green beer I really can't be bothered.

But you guys enjoy.

Happy Rosh Hashanah Farkers!

OurManFlint1		2007-09-12 01:50:55 PM

Kitryn Still recovering from the earthquake?

DeadZone		2007-09-12 01:51:40 PM

The goyim are for practice. So, no.

kitryne		2007-09-12 01:58:05 PM

Sigh...and I was gonna bring cake and punch. Oh well.

Julieahni		2007-09-12 02:00:05 PM

We get sugar highs from an alleged wine made by Manishevitz.

To my Jewish friends and Farkers:

May your days be long, and full of happiness.
May your children be many, and full of health.
And may you live in peace, and freedom.

Ketiva ve-chatima tovah.

/I hope that was correct
//If not, then "May You Be Written and Sealed for a Good Year"

TiltedKilt		2007-09-12 02:46:58 PM

Give the shofar a toot for me.

DulceEtDecorumEst		2007-09-12 03:08:04 PM

+ 0.75 subby
(Okay, I'm Jewish and I need the extra 0.25)

Supercheeks		2007-09-12 03:08:19 PM

Pass me a schtickle of flouride.

GladGirl		2007-09-12 03:10:38 PM

I'm only half Jewish, so I'm up for the wild New Year's partying but none of the pesky Yom Kippur atonement that's just around the corner.

/Does this mean I can leave work early?

Lord_Dubu		2007-09-12 03:10:57 PM

I've seen several adds in the activities section of CL today where people are begging for dates and or locations that have free services... can a Jew 'splain to me what the deal is... why does being broke preclude these people from worship exactly?

tricycleracer		2007-09-12 03:11:42 PM

Shabbat shalom, motherfarkers.

please		2007-09-12 03:11:57 PM

Doesn't Ramadan start soon too? And who says those cultures are completely unrelated...

kirbeep		2007-09-12 03:12:03 PM

Are there flying cars in the Jewish future?

GungFu		2007-09-12 03:12:28 PM

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Jews!

/what?

This headline is really going to bug the Illinois Nazis.

unicron702		2007-09-12 03:13:46 PM

I'm not 100%, kind of just "Jew-ish".

In a Christian church they pass around the plate every week to pay for the staff, the upkeep, the fancy hymnals, etc. At Synagogue, you pay membership dues and you buy tickets for the big holiday events.

H31N0US		2007-09-12 03:15:46 PM

Is today Rush-a-Home-a?

Shut_up_and_fark_me		2007-09-12 03:16:26 PM

I'd dip my apples in her honey?

MCStymie		2007-09-12 03:16:44 PM

Where's the mighty Tatsuma with his "State of the Jewnion" address?

/That was God-awful. Terribly sorry about that.
//Happy New Year, tho!

Did you here the one about the rabbi and the farmer's daughter? Those aren't mahtzah balls.

tshetter		2007-09-12 03:19:22 PM

Remember to think about all those fine women serving:

Happy Ramadan, Muslim Farkers! Blow something up for me, ok!

New keyboard, etc. - take your time - I'll be celebrating

Basking_lizard		2007-09-12 03:20:59 PM

tricycleracer: Shabbat shalom, motherfarkers.

That. :D I couldn't believe it when I found a box of Manischewitz latke mix that had a $3 rebate coupon for that movie. I was like 'have they seen the movie, or are they just that awesome?'

But seriously, happy New Year all. ^_^

/sailorman_glh: yep, that's it!

jaxdahl		2007-09-12 03:21:19 PM

please: Doesn't Ramadan start soon too? And who says those cultures are completely unrelated...

They actually coincide on the same day this year - both start sundown on September 12, 2007. I did some calculations and I believe this is the first time this has occurred since September 12, 1942 -- correct me if I'm wrong.

The first day of Ramadan is not the first day of the year in the Islamic calendar, it is the first day of the 9th month (holiest month for them). Rosh Hashanah is the first day of Tishri, the first month of the year in the Jewish calendar.

The Jewish calendar is lunar based but self-correcting, there are extra months every now and then to keep it in sync with a solar based calendar. Rosh Hashanah is almost always in September on the Gregorian calendar, but sometimes happens in October. The Islamic calendar is lunar based with no self correction so the first of Ramadan shifts back by 11-12 days every year.
