Thanks for the plug 🙂
funny cause it’s not a kosher restaurant and there probably won’t be a sukkah…and it starts 23 mintues after havdallah time (for those who keep two days of yom tov). sounds totally awesomely secular to me!
Lesson One: In which shamir learns that the majority of Jews out there aren’t Orthodox and therefore have no need to kowtow to their every demand. You frummies may be able to do that in Bnai Brak, but not in NYC.
Lesson Two: In which badchen learns that Miss Shamir grew up Reform and has a masters from JTS, wears a kippa, and layns Torah from the bimah.
Damn frummies.
Yeah, I posted this to JDaters Anonymous last week, and my readers had some interesting comments. But most of us agree that there’s very little chance an event like this would be worth that kind of kesef. For what? For the kavod of maybe being on a VH1 show? If you’re that anxious to be on VH1, just wait. My brother’s already been on six of their shows or so, and I’m convinced they’ll get around to bloggers as talking heads pretty soon, so just wait…
