Celebrating Passover
Everybody seems to be celebrating Passover this year of 5769. Will it help us? Certainly has merit if true. Seems everyone is getting into the Act.
The Red sox home opener, this year will be postponed for Passover.
Red Sox general manager – The Epstein announced that the Boston Red Sox home opener will be postponed to April 14th …to avoid the 8 days of the Passover holiday…
He noted, because 3 of his starters were Jewish as were his box seat holders, he was forced to make his change in scheduling.
There have been several complaints from fans, who were enraged at Epstein’s Decision.
In fact, protests are being tendered to the commissioner of baseball’s office. However, Bud Selig – Commissioner of baseball will not be able to address these protests; mainly due to a scheduling problem. This has been caused by the family Seders he and Mrs. Selig will be attending.
Also, unable to attend the opener:
Al Gore & Tipper, his wife, will be unavailable as they will attend Seder at their son-in-law’s home.
Bill & Hillary Clinton will be attending the Seder at the home of their daughter Chelsea’s ‘steady.’
In addition, ex mayor of NYC, Rudy Giuliani…whose wife will be busy preparing their Seder.
And finally the Obama’s will be out of town enjoying a Seder at Michele’s cousin’s house, the Rabbi Capers Funnye.
Capers C. Funnye Jr. (pronounced fun-AY; born c. 1952) is a Jewish African-American who is the head rabbi of his mostly African-American 200 membership
Yes this is an amazing country (you just gotta love it)
Who are we to decide weather or nor it helps our merit. The fact is the “Seders” these non-Jews attend are meals where all that is kosher are matza balls
Ahh, but mostly this isn’t true.
Sox play every day during Pesach this year except the 16th.
I know of only one current Jewish player on Sox, Kevin Youkilis. (There have been others in the past.)
Epstein is Jewish, but bordering on goy. Probably wouldn’t know a seder if it bit him in the tush.
Gores’ son-in-law Drew Schiff is 1/4 Jewish ( Descends from Jacob Schiff) but is probably Episcopalian.
Guiliani’s wife, Judith Nathan, was formerly married to Bruce Nathan. Bruce is Jewish, but Judith is not.
Chelsea Clinton did have a steady boyfriend several years ago who was Jewish. Don’t know if they ‘re still together.
Funnye is a cousin of Michelle Obama and is a rabbi.
And the schedules are set by Major League Baseball not by any team. This is not a Hank Greenberg or Sandy Koufax moment. Nor is it another Jewish conspiracy.
Yet this is ultimately anti-semitic propaganda. Shocks me to see how many Jewish blogs etc buy into the illogic of the whole thing, and then propagate it. Received this as an email from some Jewish friends with some “aren’t we great attitude” attached — amazing really. Idiocy.
