For Everyone's Education

Today my brother came home and told me two Holocaust jokes his friends have told him: the ashtray joke and the pizza joke. (Yes, I have heard both before.) I will not print them here unless someone is dying to know. (Leave me a comment. I'll respond.) Suffice to say, they are offensive.

Holocaust jokes hurt. They really hurt. I had relatives who died in the Holocaust. I know some of their names. These were real people, shot or gassed and burned. They should not be the subject of such jokes.

Even sadder, I have heard Jews tell these jokes. Come on, people! Please think before you try out your sense of "humor".

Rosh Chodesh Kislev

I can't believe I missed the actual date of Rosh Chodesh--the month of Kislev has just begun! Hannukah falls this month. Honestly, I have not really been in a spiritual kind of mood recently, so I'm not sure I have much worthwhile to say. However, Hannukah is a time of dedication and holiness to God. I am trying to think of that, not my Hannukah gift.

Sorry folks--not my usual caliber of post on this blog.

About Me

My photo
I am a bipolar, Jewish young adult (had my Hebrew birthday, the one I count, and turned 23 this past January) who also suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. I love life and I live for my best friends: they are my purpose and my reason for trying so hard. I remain passionately devoted to those I love; I will not let my disorders make me totally self-centered. I like to read, write, and sew. My Rabbinical school plans did not work out, and I am now hoping to go into the field of Early Childhood Education. Please note: I am currently maintaining only Carried in His Hands. Enjoy!
