Of course Orthodox Jews have different bath towels for meat and dairy!

Another thing I wrote

An essay for Tikkun magazine. (Be careful, the photo they used of me is ENORMOUS and may come out of the screen and eat your face off.)

My quest to learn more about kosher certification for whiskey led me to the Orthodox Union Job Board, where I found this dynamic and exciting position:

Giant Ocean Tank Intern

The internship lasts 12 weeks or until the intern can't swim anymore.

From Jeffrey Goldberg's blog at The Atlantic.

I just want to go back in time and tell little "Ikey" Dreyfus to STAY HOME.

Next time, send a Gourmet Sympathy Cheese Cake

My sister wanted me to help her find a place in Manhattan with kosher gift baskets. So I googled it and stumbled upon www.koshergiftbaskets.com. The gift baskets are separated into categories based on occasion. Under "shiva/condolences," you'll find the best-named baskets, including the "Sympathy Chest of Snacks," the "Kosher Sympathy Cheese Board," "Sympathy Basket Delux," "Premium Condolence," and of course, the "Tower of Sympathy."

But when you really care, send "Our Deepest Sympathy Basket." The depth of the basket reflects the depth of your grief.

I like this a little too much

Watch the whole thing...the end is the best part

I miss "Dr.Katz" but I think this makes up for it.

Maybe next year

I seem to have missed the boat on this one (I also missed out on the "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" video until like a week ago...oops!). It's a Nice Jewish Guys 2009 calendar. I like the description of Daniel (May?) as "the guy you grow to love."

Sent it to my friend Deb, who responded, "Hey, that's my friend Andrew on the left! I'm gonna have to make fun of him for this." So Jewish geography even works with calendars you find on the internet?
