I'm so excited about this!!! No, I'm not Jewish, but this is the one night where I can see Yenta dance the hora with Akiva.

Good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Shabbat across America on a Friday night?

What kind of Shabbat would it be if it was on a Thursday night?

An early one.

It's this Friday. Now get out those orthopedic dancing shoes and have a ball!

I just light my candles and bless the wine and challah and call it a night. I get up early to go to synagogue on a SAturday morning.

But this is a special Shabbat. It's for singles. You might get to meet a nice Jewish fella--who happens to be straight.

My Rabbi is a single woman and she can't even get a date here!

Are you implying that BroadwayWorld.Com has become another "Fags R Us"?

Not in the least! I know for a fact there are no queers or lesbos on BWW.com.

Craig will be glad to hear that.

Did you really expect me to post on a message board where queers and lesbos post? Anyway, getting back to Shabbat...........shall I do something different this Friday night?

You're not planning to get drunk, are you?

Remember the Perils of Alcohol!

No, I haven't had a drink since Passover. Perhaps I will cook a ham.

[Dollypop]

Very appropriate for a theater-based message board! (This place is loaded with hams? Ever see Eddie Varley on stage?)

[The Grovers Corners Yenta]

Posted: 4/15/07 at 10:56pm

No I haven't been blessed with experience.

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/15/07 at 10:57pm

When you see Eddie perform you realize that he's the ham that can't be cured.

Good one DollyPop. Now go to bed. People your age need their sleep.

what is shabbat across america>?

(and please do not tell me what shabbat is...i know. i am an officer in hillel at my college).

Since we can't get Yenta interested in Shabbat Across America, then perhaps we should celebrate Bris Across America.

That's the long and the short of it.

can someone please explain to this Gentile what a shabbat is?

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/16/07 at 9:09pm

From one goy to another:

A Shabbat is the Sabbath. Friday evening through Saturday at sundown.

You mean I got something right?

It is not that I am not interested in Shabbat Across America.........but every Shabbat is Shabbat Across America to me. It's always been a special thing for me. The earliest memories I have of my Mom are of her lighting candles on a Froday night.
