The Six Degrees of Kosher Bacon
1) Smart Bacon: Made by Life Light, Smart Bacon is completely non-dairy, giving it the versatility to be used in both Meat and Dairy recipes. Though it is not bad, Smart Bacon is less like bacon and more like soy with bacon flavoring.
2) Organic Smoky Tempeh Strips: Also made by Life Light, Smokey Tempeh [...]

Things I have learned about Alcohol
Location, Location, Location: Just because it’s not kosher in the United States doesn’t mean it’s not kosher in Europe. This is true with several different brands most prominently Baileys Irish Cream which can be found with a B’datz hechsher abroad.
A rose by any other name: Tequila is tequila is tequila. No matter if it’s a [...]

Life Ain’t Easy for a Man Named “Country”
vs.
We all have those stories of people with funny names. I happen to know a Rabbi Jesus, a Mashiach Ben David and a lovable guy a year older than I whose legal first name is Doctor. I kid you not. We all also know people who have been given highly [...]

This Land Is My Land
The fact that there are disputes over land in Israel is not a statement that would shock anyone. Israelis and Palestinians have been quarreling over territory for years now. Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinians have all been fighting with Israel over land since the 1947 UN Petition Plan. Worse is that, in the attempt [...]

While trying to give gifts to my newest niece, I came to the realization that when giving gifts to a newborn/baby you aren’t really looking to give the [...]

Things I Have Learned about Comedy
Location, location, location. Memorize the names of cities like Intercourse PA, Metuchen NJ and most importantly Sheboygan WI and incorporate these cities into your act to help sell the jokes you know in your heart just aren’t that funny.
It’s all about how you word it. Use hard K’s and funny sounding words as much [...]

The Halachot of Festivus
Festivus is celebrated each year on December 23rd. For the uninitiated, Festivus comes from a Seinfeld episode in which George Costanza’s father creates a holiday because he is sick and tired of the commercialism of the “holiday season,” you can read more about it here.

Things I have learned in my 20’s
Just because this country is religiously free doesn’t mean it’s religiously unbiased. Mitt Romney’s blatant inadequacies as a candidate will not be the reason he doesn’t get the Republican nomination, but rather he will fail because of his beliefs about Jesus.
People would rather be entertained than educated. If every kid who could play [...]

Odd Jewy Link for Today.
This is not a plug, but I did think these “Shabbos Goy” t-shirts were funny and wanted to share.
Sometimes it is really hard to find a decent shabbos goy (A non-Jew who does work on the Sabbath that a Jew cannot do) when you need one. I was in Israel recently with my wife and [...]

Delicious for Chanukah!
Looking for the perfect holiday snack? Need something more substantial to go along with your latkes and sufganiot? Why not Ham? At least, that’s what this clueless butcher thought was a good idea. Isn’t the caption perfect?
