Two Jewish guys and a Catholic church

Two Jewish guys and a Catholic church 04/24/2004 08:56 AM

Two Jewish guys pass a Catholic church. A sign out front says "Convert to Catholicism and we'll pay you $250."

"I don't know," says one of the Jews to the other. "That's mighty tempting."

A few days later the sign offers a bounty of $500 to convert. "That's hard to pass up," he says.

When they pass the church the next day the price is up to $1000. "That's it. I'm going in." The other guy waits, a few hours pass, his friend comes out and he asks "Is it true, did they pay you $1000 to convert?" The other guy asks "Is that all you people ever think about?"

The lucky Jewish Asian boy with two
mommies

The lucky Jewish Asian boy with two
mommies 04/21/2004 06:21 AM
So we were hanging out with our kids at a local playground. On the other side of the sandbox, my wife recognized a woman she used to work. Her friend was in a group of two women, two men, and two very cute Asian two-year-olds. It wasn't what you might expect. The other woman was her lesbian partner, the guys were a gay couple, and they had each adopted one of the little boys from Vietnam.

How great it is, I thought, that we live in a time and place where we could just be three families enjoying quality time with their kids. There is a banality in good, too. I can't help but feel that as my life goes on, the scene I described will be less and less a source of shock and raised eyebrows. Whatever comes of the current political debate over gay marriage, this is the real story.

It gets better. The two women are Jewish. Their little boy, they explained, is the hit of their synagogue. Several other families in the congregation have adopted kids from Asia, but almost all girls. A huge percentage of Asian babies up for adoption, especially Chinese, are girls unwanted by families hewing to the traditional preference for boys.

So this little guy has the best of all worlds -- an Asian Jewish boy! After all, who else would the parents of a nice Asian Jewish girl want for their little princess?

Here is the epitome of our post-modern society: ancient ethno-religious preferences combined with a non-traditional family structure that could scarcely exist until recently. That's OK. Traditions do have meaning, but we need freedom to remix them. As far as I'm concerned, it's all good. Just watch the kids laugh as they play with each other in the sand.

B'Tselem's Map of Jewish Settlements in the West Bank is an incredible graphic. It'sa 612 KB jpeg but the PDF, which is 1,609 KB has even more amazing detail. Here is the directory for all their images and maps. As you can see, it is quite comprehensive. Here is the Full Fence Mag in English, for instance. Again, the PDF is even more detailed. Here is the summary of B'Tselem's May 2002 report Land Grab: Israel's Settlement Policy in the West Bank. The report is to the summary as the PDF is to the jpeg.
B'Tselem is The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. Warning: While the pages linked are in English, the site itself is bi-lingual, so expect many a prompt for a Hebrew text download.

Jewish Life in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Jewish Life in Buenos Aires, Argentina 01/07/2004 04:16 PM

My two Argentine friends in Boston generated a collection of invitations in Buenos Aires that could keep me occupied here in this massive city for two weeks.  One invitation was to attend services at a Reform-ish temple on Friday night.  The service itself was highly unusual from an American Jewish perspective.  Almost the entire time was taken up with lively singing by experts within the community and the congregation as a whole.  Everyone seemed to know each other.  Security was very tight.  I almost didn't make it into the temple because my escort was unknown to the guard.  Fortunately she had her national ID card with a last name of "Cohen" to present.  Why the paranoia?

At first glance you'd think that Argentina's Jews would be happy and complacent.  There has never been any violence directed at the Jewish community here from their mostly Italian- and Spanish-descended fellow citizens.  They escaped Europe's war against her Jewish citizens.  You'd think that being on the other side of the globe from the Middle East would preserve Argentina's Jews from the Muslim war against the Jews.  The 1993 bombing of the Jewish community center here in Buenos Aires, however, left a deep scar.  85 people were killed and 230 wounded in a car bombing that was never completely resolved.  Supposedly the money came from Iran and support from the local Iranian embassy but the actual killers were never identified.

It's a tough situation when you're already at the End of the Earth.  There is literally nowhere to run.
