Dear Jewlicious Readers,

How are you? I am fine. Long Beach is swell. There’s a yuge conference here, with Jews and t-shirts and bands and stuff. The food is plentiful and good, and we have been eating meals every two hours. (Small, three-point meals, don’t you worry, Weight Watchers! Cholent has zero points per 1-pound serving, right?)

My roommate is a woman named Laya and she lives in Jerusalem! We have a lot in common and get along well. We actually discovered that we have the same birthday, which totally rocks. CK’s here too, but he’s not my roommate (LOL)!

Lots of cool students from area universities and Hillels are here, and right now, after Shabbat, there are bands beginning to play including The Hip Hop Hoodios, the Makkabees and the world- and Long Beach Hillel-renowned Rabbi Yonah and the Flying Shih-Tzus! (Totally stylin’?? I know!)

Shabbat was great, more info to come. I hear a band beginning to play, so I’d better go.

Jewliciously yours,

Esther

  • I’m as sad as you are, but the facts speak: since this post neither has pictures nor is about sex, it doesn’t stand a chance….

  • That’s right TM….

    Praise Rachel Corrie. That’ll boost the comment section.

  • Hey CK…

    Were you the ‘ol one at Hillel with the law degree…praying on the younger female students? Or am I thinking of someone else?

  • Yeah. That was me. I didn’t realize I preyed on younger, or any students for that matter. Am I missing something here?

  • Maybe he meant “praying with” and not “preying on.” Because I saw no illicit behavior…

    [But PS, hooray for my post having comments now…]

  • “Maybe he meant “praying with” and not “preying on.” Because I saw no illicit behavior…”

    Uh praying…yeah, that’s it. Actually, if I remember correctly, the “preying” was done by another Hillel staff member, but that’s another story altogether.

    So G-damn, I’m hanging with the same crew that I hung with so many years ago. Well that’s pretty cool.

    Wish EN was here to join in. He was one cool Modern Ortho dude. And funny as hell. Perverse 2.

  • Jesus shtreimel, it tok you THIS long to figure that out??

    EN got a gig at a large Jewish organization in NYC. But he was never cool… not like his brother MN. That guy was whacked!

    I don’t recall any Hillel staff people preying on students, per se.

    There ya go Esther. Just add completely unrelated sexual inuendo …

  • This EN who was so cool, perverse and funny and who lives in NYC? Is he single? My interest is purely professional, of course…
