  1. That guy who runs Kehillaton and posts ads for it all over the net must be very happy to have his website on that show.

  3. You mean me? I was serious. A bit cynical, maybe?

  4. I don't think there is a blogger out there who wrote about Birkat HaChama that doesn't wish Colbert had used one of his posts....

  5. No, no no, Mom in Israel--not you, but Colbert. I didn't like this video; he was laughing at our Birkat HaChama ceremony. Making fun of it.
    I'm sorry my comment was misconstrued...

    True.

    However, Colbert was running in Apikorsut mode in this one - didn't like it so much. Agree with Lady-light here.

  9. There you go, yaak. I would also add, am ha'aretz mode, and maybe a touch of rasha, of the arba'ah banim variety ("lachem ve-lo lo?")... Or am I being too hard on him?
