(no subject)

We've all heard of The Great Schlep, Sarah Silverman's suggestion that we be certain our grandparents are informed accurately about the upcoming US PResidential election. Particularly for the Jewish grandparents, I recommend watching the following video (via) with them:

As Jill says:

[N]o matter how lapsed you are, how assimilated, how little respect you have for Judaism as a religion or skepticism you have about Israel, when push comes to shove, if you ever had the slightest bit of Jewish identity, there is something in your gut that makes you Jewish forever. You can be a practicing Buddhist. You can be a Wiccan. You can believe that Israel does itself no good when it elects right-wing warmongers and practices atrocities against the Palestinians. But at the end of the day, your gut knows you are Jewish.

Most of the folks who read here and identify even somewhat as Jewish are not remotely in those categories. But I, who am, can tell you that I was weeping by the end of the video.

Go, show it!
