Again. 3rd time in 4 months!
… and he still rocked the house. Last night Matisyahu performed to a packed house at Just For Laughs and he verily kicked butt. Talk about a mixed crowd. There were the Ghetto Shul kids (Mamish Gevalt – yes, that WAS Rabbi Trugman of the Carlebach Moshav – Mevo Modiin, in the back), bopping along with the Hillel kids, some lapsed seminary girls (though not too many Yeshivah boys… wussup?) , a whole load of Jewish and non-Jewish hipsters, Rastas, French Canadians, McGill Students, a smattering of bubbies and zeydes… you get the point. What a trip to hear this diverse crowd roar in approval as Matisyahu sang about Jerusalem, the coming of the messiah, loss, redemption, faith and ahavat chinam. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere, but what the hell do I know. Check out Matisyahu’s Web site for a show coming near you. The guy tours like a mad man!
And Tiff? You’re now 0 for 2. Just sayin’ thasall …

What exactly is a “lapsed seminary girl,” and how can you recognize one?

Um, over 22 and not married?
How about over 22, not married, still doing the quasi tznius (long skirt but a peak of collarbone?) thing but hanging out at a place where boys and girls dance in close proximity to each other without benefit of a mechitzah?
I dunno Skylar. Frum chicks just have this look. And for some reason, it’s oddly compelling.
