I went to JSoc on Friday, it was pretty great. Post your experiences with Judaism here.

Re: Judaism
I've never been to any Jewish Society events but have mean to several Christian Society gigs. There's one coming up called 'Grill a Christian'. Sounds good huh?
Since this is about Judaism though I should comment on that. Judaism gave us that great Friends episode, 'The One with the Holiday Armadillo' and also I remember at primary school saying "shalom" and eating bread so I guess Judaism is good since I got free food.

This happens a lot
. There's a communal kiddush (Touch Jnr conundrum) after the morning service on the Sabbath and festivals with loads of biscuits, cakes, wine, whisky and other foody treats. There's sometimes a communal se'udah in the afternoon too. At my synagogue, these are normally sponsored by a family to mark a special occasion (in which case it's free food); otherwise they come out of donations / membership fees. There's also a festival (Purim) where one of the commandments is to send a goody bag of food to your friend(s). Sunday was Lag Ba'Omer, which is an excuse for a big barbecue / party, which is exactly what the JSocs (UJS) did. It was fun. I was even eating while fighting with inflatable gladiator paddles on an inflatable podium. Charlie, was the thing you went to a Friday night dinner? They're awesome too. (You may have realised by now that a lot of the routine and practice of Judaism revolves around food).

Yes, and booze! Really wish someone had told me this before. Also challah is probably the tastiest thing ever invented. I think you lot keep this stuff quiet on purpose.Adam Gillard wrote:You may have realised by now that a lot of the routine and practice of Judaism revolves around food.

San Francisco LGBT Pride, June 29th 1997 - me, about to take a second bite of a knish, filled with potato, spinach, garlic, onion and spices. It was well tasty as I recall.

Just the words "potato, spinach, garlic, onion and spices" together are tasty to me.Phil Reynolds wrote:a knish, filled with potato, spinach, garlic, onion and spices. It was well tasty as I recall.
