He's a good advertisement for Jewry.  Mind you, some of the extreme Jews worry me......  I think I was lucky as a child because the family had very close Jewish friends and I grew up knowing about them and their religious practices.  At one time I had a regular job each Saturday when I went down the Gertie Cohen's on Moorside Road Heaton Moor to light the coal fire for them and one ring on the gas stove.  Evidently it was OK for them to boil a kettle or feed the fire but they weren't allowed to kindle a flame on the Sabbath.  I just accepted it and I have no doubt it was a good experience for me.  They were funny generous people and she made wonderful Jewish cakes and savouries......

Moderation in all things surely is as good a tenet as you'll get?

By the way, it is my humble opinion that Rabbi Blue is a better comedian (or at least funnier) than Woody Allen.

Imindoors wouldn't be here today if his parents hadn't chosen him over their religion. Yes they were and no they are not now. Kicked out I believe.

I think I may be a closet Jew.  Kaddish stones on graves reduce me to tears.

I have just been given a book "Joys of Jewish Humour".  It's very comprehensive, and some of the gags are difficult for a non Jew to understand, but this one made me chuckle...

A Jewish couple was dining out one evening  At the neighborhood kosher delicatessen, when they were amazed to have a Chinese waiter approach to take their order. To their astonishment, the suave Oriental addressed them in perfect Yiddish.

As soon as he had disappeared to the kitchen, they motioned to the proprietor “A Chinese water in a Jewish delicatessen!” exclaimed the man. “And not only that, but he talks Yiddish, how come?”  The proprietor looked round, and put his fingers to his lips. “Shhhh!” he whispered. “He thinks I’m teaching him English!”

keep smiling........
