This year will not involve the annual AG versus AGboy fight over why AG cannot have pad Thai or Trader Joe pancakes for breakfast instead of that nasty matzoh that is useful for Orthies and when you need to be constipated for two plus weeks. (AG can already do that on her own -- WASP DNA rules!) I will miss the annual shoving of the chocolate matzoh down the gullet in childish protest so as to not leave him anything for Days 6, 7, and 8. (Not really!)
His parents will be in Paris and he makes a valid point: when I can trace kashrut to religion, he'll follow it. Until then, fuck cultural Judaism, the Torah, and oral Jewish Law. (Maybe not, AG will take the oral Jewish.) Seder One and Seder Two will do. La. La.
Don't you just want to attack him the moment the plane touches down in Philadelphia?
Did AG mention -- JD and PhD?

happy passover! sounds like it's going really well?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to it. I will be back on the 8-day observance next year.
This year though: good times await!
I'm so confused. I like Matzoh, though. I have mixed feelings about the oral tradition where it--and this is my humble opinion--would appear to conflict with the written law or at the very least distort its intent. But I'm not a doctor or a lawyer...
ReplyDeleteAnd when people tell my that sourdough is a crime against nature I remember that the alternative is known as the bread of affliction.
Tell my... no wonder I can't get any respect.
ReplyDeleteJack, we give you the respect. We totally do.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that you like the matzoh.
Oral law has been written down. That does not change that some are cultural Jews and some are religious Jews. Some are both and some are neither.
Only you have to answer for yourself.
But typos at the empire open you up for mockery.
ReplyDeleteCapitalization, also.
I love matzoh, but probably because I have to actively seek it out if I want it and was never forced to shove it anywhere.
