Welcome to 5770, fuckers!
For the unacquainted, this evening at sundown kicked off the 48 hour Jewish New year celebration, known in Hebrew as "Rosh Hashanah"
So, whether you're a Jew, just a little Jew-ish, or part of the other 99.75% of the global population, please allow me to wish you a year full of happiness and good health.

but he introduced it like, "Hi! Are you Jewish?"
and, figuring he was inquiring about my ethnicity, I replied,
"oh, no. I'm German," and walked away
it was only a few minutes later I realized my folly
it's not like there's even a lot of jews any more
because we don't get other holidays
instead of arbor day we have "Tu B'shvat"
instead of Halloween we have "Purim"
instead of Christmas we have April 15th
*rimshot*
now let's bitch about how much Yom Kippur fucking sucks
Halloween isn't a Christian holiday and neither is Arbor Day.
Were those supposed to be jokes?
take that Jews
Tumblr blargh
I don't believe I ever said that either of them were, did I?
so what was your point?
There is no "instead of Halloween" or "instead of arbor day"
You're not iskander.

well, 9it was a silly throw away joke
and also, there are more types of holidays in the world than just "jewish" and "christian"
my "point", if I had one, though, was that Tu B'shvat is the Jewish holiday about trees, and Purim is the Jewish holiday where you dress up in costumes and get drunk.
immensely so. He's a dick.
Who the hell is iskander?
absolutely.
just like Succot is a Jewish holiday, but it clearly ripped off something pagan when it comes to the ritual of shaking tree branches and fruits in the air.
*gasp*

Who the hell are you, for that matter?
ask 10 people
7 or so will say that jesus was christian
and as a history major it is my job to pointedly correct them and then look at them smugly
Your pants, your hands, your good work shirt.

this raises an interesting question, though
are we talking about the most famous person who is jewish, or the person who is most famous FOR BEING Jewish?
I mean Albert Einstein and William Shatner are ALSO a couple of really famous Jews.
And hell, Woody Allen and Larry David (and Jerry Seinfeld) are all pretty famous for being Jewish, as well.
also you'd never really guess seinfeld as being jewish, he's just seinfeld
I knew about Woody Allen and Seinfeld though, so that means they are the most famous Jews. I am the arbiter, see
what are you talking about?
yep
I always thought the whole 'jews killed jesus' thing was pretty much like saying 'americans killed lincoln'
he was a jewish guy living in jewish society, chances were if someone was going to kill him they would be jewish.
Yeah I didn't know Sandler was jewish until recently, either. Seinfeld though, I mean come on. 'Seinfeld'. That's nearly as Jewish sounding as Goldstein or something.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
if someone asked me what religion seinfeld was, I'd guess jewish
but it just never really occurs when I watch his stuff, he's just seinfeld to me
yeah
rane
you're not making a lot of sense
or, well, any
but many people know nothing about him other than the movies he's been in
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
8 crazy nights was all ABOUT how jewish he was
give it a couple days for people to cool down and/or realize that the mods can see who said what, so it's not actually anonymous
