God’s JIB Picks.
Dramatization of Michael talking to God if God were a Samoan attorney driving a beardless Michael to Las Vegas. (cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) I’ve tried to studiously ignore the Jewish-Israeli Blog Awards. They…
Amy, Amy, Amy…
Dear Amy, I heard you’re getting married. I must admit, Amy, I’m a little dismayed at the news – I know this is normally the time for a chorus of “Mazal tovs” and…
Inside the mind of a seminary girl.
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) Sometimes I wonder if the increasingly debilitating pain of having to venture out in public during the daytime might be somewhat alleviated if I could amuse myself with telepathy….
Plautin’ the dozens.
Steven Plaut is concerned. Steven Plaut knows that lurking out there in the fuzzy reaches of your Chevy’s radio dial is a dark and insidious threat ready to topple the temple of enlightened…
הצעה צנועה
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) Something is rotten in the state of Israel. An old enemy stalks the streets and synagogues of the country, the country whose very purpose was to provide one place…
The blogosphere’s saving grace.
The Jews, the perennial fly in history’s ointment, have never been able to resist the impulse to sabotage a good thing. We ruined a rich Egyptian tradition of public works projects by letting…
The Pesach Post.
(crossposted from Kosher Eucharist) It’s that time of year again, when Jews all over the world come together to celebrate their liberation from the clutches of the Egyptians, the day the Lord fulfilled…
Is everyone batshit?
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) I was browsing through the sites that link to Jewlicious today, and I stumbled upon a most curious post on Israpundit. Now, I was fuzzily aware that Israpundit was…
Israel expresses ‘profound regret’ for Canaanite expulsion.
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) JERUSALEM (AP) — Meeting on the grounds of the Ophel, former site of the Jebusite city of Jerusalem, the Israeli Knesset voted unanimously Saturday to express “profound regret” for…
כשאין עוד מקום בגיהנום, המתים יהלכו על פני האדמה
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) Being something of a writerly-minded person, I suffer from a tendency to view everything in terms of comparison – my mind rarely bothers to process what something is, settling…
Hebrew Time with Michael!
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) One of the most thoroughly enjoyable (yes, I said it, enjoyable) facets of moving to a foreign country is learning its language, stumbling along the irregular, heavily-inflected path, tripping…
Mixed signals.
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) I tend to take a historian’s view of my twenty-one years of existence, which I imagine is fairly common since an air of cool detachment is often the only…
Israel’s most Jewlicious baby!
Full disclosure: I hate most things. I hate Arabs, I hate Jews, I hate Sephardim, I hate Ashkenazim, I hate blacks, I hate whites, I hate unrequested condiments, I hate Napoleon Dynamite, I…
Discoveries and rants.
I’m going to attempt to tie together several fairly disparate threads in this post, so bear with me. After a most enjoyable weekend spent drinking cocktails in somebody else’s apartment, I decided that…
Michael is jonesin’.
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) My Internet at home went out a few days ago. This has forced me to undergo the difficult process of Internet withdrawal without preparing the necessary supplies (Soothing music….
Lenny Bruce is spinning in his grave.
(cross-posted from Kosher Eucharist) Aish ha-Torah has visited a great deal of torment and suffering upon the Jewish people. Their brooding, medieval, property-value-destroying monstrosity of a headquarters casts an oppressive shadow over the…
Among the Indians I am called Walks with Toasty Feet.
(crossposted from Kosher Eucharist) I have weathered many accusations over the course of my 21 years. Despite my fastidious efforts to avoid most non-essential contact with them, other people have seen fit to…
This post is for the ladies in the house…
I thought that I should make the latest development in the gripping saga of Michael vs. the Israeli Defense Forces known to the Jewlicious readership, particularly its young and female contingent. After almost…
B’Tzahal, mekablim et kol ha-zayin.
I’m not supposed to be here right now. Right now, I’m supposed to be at Bakum, undergoing chiyul, swapping my threads for an entire new wardrobe in olive, getting shots, getting screamed at…
Rehovot Geulah.
UPDATE: Y-Love has clarified his position in comments here and here, saying, among other things, “First of all it is an axiom that G-d does not condone actions like this. That goes almost…
No need for Black Maria, goodbye to the East End sun!
You may remember our chums from Jewdas – that’s cute London slang for “Heeb Magazine” – from our little spat with them sometime around last Purim. If you’re not familiar with Jewdas’ oeuvre,…
A Day in the Life.
Shalom, my jiggaz! (Get it? Like, “niggaz,” but Jewish, because as a young urban Jew, I find the best way to make a strong statement about my Jewish identity is to lift and…
Oh stronghold of Rock…
Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, besides being number two on the list of “Ten Proofs That Heavy Heroin Use Works Better Than Facelifts, Botox and Clinique” (number one Keith Richards, number three bandmate Joe Perry),…

If I was one of those people who allowed introspection to disturb my preferred state of placidity, which I’m not, because I have better things to do, like eating cereal three meals a…
Gee willikers, I hate you.
I’ve been feeling a bit introspective lately. Maybe it’s because of the war. War has a way of carpet-bombing entrenched strongholds of frivolity with a few tons of deep thought, which is disconcerting…
Interesting what they find in bogs these days…
War turns every Israeli into an insatiable news junkie and professional political analyst and strategist. Especially if they happen to be older Mizrachi gentlemen in our nation’s many fine hummus establishments, who tend…
