L'Shana Tovah....

Everybody settle down, I have friends who don't live in California, NY, New England, Chicago, or the eastern midwest who have never met a jew in their lives. Syd, it's true, you guys are dying out (all that intermarriage has watered down the gene pool and remnants, not to mention the atrocity of losing 6 million in a few years to a disgusting ideaology), that's why Jewish females who sell their eggs can score a much higher price. Either way, trust me, Jews aren't everywhere and behind everything as Hitler would have us believe, so aside from your personal beef with Baka, cut him and anyone else who doesn't know the beauty of Hebrew some slack (my wife was the best Hebrew youth cantor in Ohio!). After all, Yom Kippur is not far away and that is all about forgiveness.

Oh, and the transliteration is Rosh Hashanah.

I tend to agree with Sean here. I didn't read anything hateful or sarcastic in Baka's post. I hope there was no malice or sarcasm intended, and I will give the benefit of the doubt that has been raised by Sid. But just as you apologize when you sneeze on someone's neck in a movie theater or step on someone's heels, I think an apology for an unintentional faux pas is in order.

CNB, it's your move.

Well put Shelby, an apology wouldn't hurt either way.

I would have had no idea what you were talking about either.....? Does that make me an insensative prick...no. Means I do not have every other religious holiday, not of my religion, memorized. He had no clue what you were saying and was simply inquiring as to its meaning and what language it was. That'd be like someone from another country asking the meaning of our 4th of July and jumping all over them. They did not grow up in this country or in this case, he did not grow up in a Jewish family or have Jewish friends. What I'm trying to say here is, he honestly did not know, and you can't go around jumping on people cause they dont know something.

I don't owe an apology. It's not insenitive not to know things about the Jewish religion. And for the record, I have two people who are Jewish working for me and I hired both of them, so I am not insensitive. It just seems like there is such a rash of bitterness out there that I could say "Have a nice day" and you folks would say I'm being hateful. Have a nice day!!
