Happy Passover!

Hi Friends!

Happy Passover to you and your families!

How to break matzah exactly in the middle (http://www.mantis.co.il/pesach2006/pesachTip.wmv)

Mmmmm...matzo (er...matzoh to some). My mother's grandmother was Jewish, so she grew up eating those little flat...cracker things (even though...her mother converted to Catholicism when she married her father). Used to have us kids eat them as well (but we cheated, put peanut butter on them, hahaha).

Oh, I miss those days.

[Ridley-X4]

Yeah, I'm a Jew. It's pretty neat; the Christians have dudes that think everything's evil, Islam's got extremists, but Jews? We don't got squat. And that's GOOD.

Oh and btw they're CRAWLING all over New York. It's pretty neat.

[Haro!]

I remember when I used to live in a Hasidic neighborhood right before Passover (and every friday when they would ask us to turn on their lights) they'd give away bread (which would otherwise be burned). That bread was soooooooooooo good.

Ridley, hate to ruin your flow but there are also extremist Jews, not many but they do exist.

.......shut up XD
Happy passover I guess^_^

Well, you will always have tacky jewelry, a deep desire to squeeze every penny to death, and Barbara.

And this wonderful representative of your people:

Thank you, Sheila. For being so...very, very Jewish.

You know how many Jewish people have ripped off my father business? So there You got thieves. No religion is 100% pure.

Anyway. What is passover celebrating? The Angel of Death that passed over Egypt and killed all the first born?

[Shiroiyuki]

What is passover celebrating? The Angel of Death that passed over Egypt and killed all the first born?

Actually, it is a Jewish holiday in commemoration of the exodus of the Hebrews in Egypt. Yes, according to legend, spreading blood across the threshold of their homes allowed the Hebrews to escape God's plan to wipe out the first born of every Egyptian family, but Passover...I thought...was supposed to be celebrated for other reasons.

It spans the seven or eight days that the Hebrews traveled from Egypt to where Moses received the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai.

Hi Friends!

Happy Passover to you and your families!

Doesn't that contradict your slavocentric worldview and that russian mathematician's "real history"?

Pfft. There's extremist Jews. Ever heard of the Hebrew Hammer? :O

HAPPY PASSOVER CHILDREN OF ISRAEL :D

[VSh]

Doesn't that contradict ... that russian mathematician's "real history"?

No, it doesn't. Think better.

[Soluzar]

Doesn't that contradict your slavocentric worldview and that russian mathematician's "real history"?
Gahhhh! If you manage to start him on all that crap again, so help me I am coming to Oregon, and I'm bringing ALL my favourite blunt instruments. :P

Think better.

How about "Shut the hell up better!" instead? Saying "think better" is about the most patronising thing you could possibly say to anyone. Unless you want to try and top your personal best...? Saying things like that just makes you sound like a collosal jerk. You failed to show the slightest hint of support for your precious theories, so if anyone needs to think better, it's clearly you.

If you want to get back into your thread and actually try convincing Bernard, who knows a fair bit(!) about history, that you actually have some kind of point go right ahead. CrossboneGundam will suffer for it, but that shouldn't be your worry. :naughty:

Please note: All of this is because of your rude and patronising attitude, not because we happen to disgaree about the application of higher mathematics to history, or anything of that nature. It's entirely because you're acting like a jackass. I'm capable of having a discussion or debate with someone without losing my cool, but generally that only applies when they maintain at least a pretense of civility.

All that having been said.... Happy Passover, VSh. I hope you're enjoying the holiday and doing whatever it is you do in observance of the Passover. I make no pretence at having the slightest notion what that might be, but I wanted to make sure that I wish you a happy holiday, since this is a holiday thread, and I don't want to be unnecessarily rude.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Enjoy your sweet and bitter herbs as Chinesus approves.

Think better.

The rebuttal to that is:

Don't post non-sense.

[Jabberwock]

Ummmm... did I miss something here?

For all those who are celebrating Passover, I hope you and your families are spending the time together well (The good Lord knows that family get-togethers can be stressful).

As for the rest of the off-topic nonsense, keep it short or keep it out. ^_^

[Woooh]

Gah, since when has Passover been happy. Sit around a table for hours smelling great food held in front of your noses yet no ability to eat it. I did have 5 glasses of wine though...

[Soluzar]

VSh's last topic was a rather contentious one. He is in agreement with a Russian mathematician who claims that he can prove that most of recorded history is falsified. The specifics of that theory are not worth debating here, but every time anyone criticised the methodology of the mathematician in question, VSh would reliably respond with no actual rebuttal, but simply the trolling comment "think better".

I'd offer you a link to the topic, but really I can't recommend it. If you insist, it should be easy to find in VSh's posting history.

[Haro!]

Passover is just a Jewish excuse to burn toast and have matzoh instead.

Haha, I must admit that the thread title kinda threw me off. Happy Passover?

Maybe it's not a truly ecstatic celebration in the same way the Fourth of July is, but it certainly doesn't have to be as dour and morose as the ones I've remembered celebrating...

It is, however, a very important day to observe if you share that faith, so small recognition here isn't out of bounds, either. :)

I'm sorry to have missed the announcement that you'd been appointed a moderator. :P
We'd need less "moderators" if we first learned to moderate ourselves. ;)

[Haro!]

Jabber, you are Jewish? I thought you were Chinese (though I've met Chinese Jews and honorary Chinese Jews)

[Jabberwock]

Jabber, you are Jewish? I thought you were Chinese (though I've met Chinese Jews and honorary Chinese Jews)

Haha, no, I'm not Jewish, Haro, but as you know from living in the tri-state area, we're fortunate enough to live in a corner of the world highly populated with Jews. As such, I've been given a number of opportunities to share in their observance of holidays (though my memory is foggy on most of the details ^^;;).

[Midoriko87]

Happy Passover. Yeah, that's it. :|

[sailornyanko]

Half of my classmates are jews haha.

And yes, there are rotten apples. I've met a lot of stuck up little princesses in the mexican figure ice skating community. One such dear is apparently the current Junior national champion. I hate her skating and her attitude. *shudders*

But I can. If you have something to say about it, do it there (http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=200525). And even I'd like to, but that wasn't my thread.

Interesting, you've got offended by "think better". Actually, I thought that I was too polite there. In my opinion, it is more like an award - you can achieve something, if you think. Otherwise, I'd use "learn more", that would be more appropriate in discussion with people who merely know the basics.

I did have 5 glasses of wine though...

5 glasses are good. You are supposed to have 4 at least. And the food was delicious.

[Woooh]

5 glasses are good. You are supposed to have 4 at least. And the food was delicious.

Our neighbors, which is where we go to for Passover, are horrible cooks. So I left after I got a hold of some matzah ball soup.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... let's all go to Katz's and order some matzoh ball soup and their $30 pastrami sandwich.

[Haro!]

I'll just have the pastrami sandwich as that alone will fill me up. Though that'd be having leavened bread, a no no for Passover.

[Caster13]

Happy Passover! Im Christian, but i have nothing against it. and people, DO NOT go bashing Jews. theyve taken too much crap from the world throughout history. hell theres parts that most people dont even know about. its more than just the Holocaust. they dont need anything else.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... wow. this renders me speechless and entertained at the same time.

....uhm.....who was bashing Jewish people? Did I miss something? O_o

[Nano]

and people, DO NOT go bashing Jews.
Sorry, but the way the Internet works isif you tell someone NOT to do something they'll do it.
You'll be held responsible if some people take this litreruary (spelling mistake) and go attacking jews in the street.

[Evil_Koala]

Lmfao. QUICK CHILDREN! CRUSH THAT EGG BEFORE THE JEW CHICK HATCHES! XD

Borat ftw

[Caster13]

um, i dont think that thats gonna happen Nano. seriously, if that were to affect someone theyd be completely retarded. but with some of the anime fans out there.........

[HSaabedra]

What do anime fans have to do with attacks on Jewish people?

Seriously, get over yourself.

[Caster13]

......omg, nano said that if someone took that literally then id be held responsible, but the only people here are anime fans, so they would be the ones that would take that literally!!!!!!

BACK TO TOPIC!!!

Like you'd need an excuse. :P What's a matzoh?

Happy Passover! Im Christian, but i have nothing against it. and people, DO NOT go bashing Jews. theyve taken too much crap from the world throughout history. hell theres parts that most people dont even know about. its more than just the Holocaust. they dont need anything else.

Not bashing Jews but bashing individuals, which is quite alright. Especially when they're not here.

Think Better
Shan’t :P

Happy Passover to those who observe it.

[Haro!]

Kenpachi is right though Jews historically have gone through a lot. i mean check this out:
"I was sitting in a temple, I was minding my own business, I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass, Then these papist persons plunge in, And they throw me in the dungeon, And they shove a red hot poker up my ***, Is that considerate? Is that polite? And not a tube of preparation H in sight!"
Mel Brooks is awesome!

[superplough]

Best passover thing ever was an episode of Rugrats where all the babies managed to get trapped in the attic and Tommy's Jewish grandpa told them all the passover story (Tommy was Moses and Angelica was the evil Pharoah :lol:)

[Shiroiyuki]

What's a matzoh?


Unleavened bread traditionally eaten during Passover. Tastes pretty good (with peanut butter, as we used to eat it) ^_^.

[Bernard_Monsha]

The only Jewish food I dislike is gefilte fish, noodles kugel however is the bomb.

[VSh]

The only Jewish food I dislike is gefilte fish...

You simply haven't had good one.

What's a matzoh?

It's the thing they tried to break exactly in the middle in the movie in my first post.

Now the other one. Not so for Passover, but very good anyway.
