Coming soon: the cathedral you wouldn’t be caught dead in

[avram]

Old Jewish joke:

Three Reform rabbis are bragging about how liberal their synagogues are. One starts off “Our temple is so liberal, we allow smoking on Yom Kippur.”

The second says “That’s nothing; on Yom Kipper we brought in a caterer and served ham sandwiches.”

The third says “Ah, you two are practically Orthodox. At Yom Kippur, our temple had a sign up: Closed for the Holidays.”

And now, the news: Many megachurches will be closed December 25th. (via GetReligion)

Well, that's meshugganah.

Perhaps the mega-churches have confused themselves with Macy's. No, that might be too upscale. Save-Mart.

Also (in the Old Business [your 10/8 entry] department): the Fulton Street J/M/Z station is closed from 1:00 am Saturdays to 5:00 am Mondays. Yeah, it's stupid. Given the lighting, though, I'm not surprised you didn't see signs.

Pincus was walking down the street one fine Yom Kippur when he passed a seafood restaurant, and lo and behold, there in the window sat his friend Hochshuler- eating oysters. Shocked, Pincus ran in to confront his friend. "Hochshuler!" he cried. "How could you? Oysters? On Yom Kippur?"

Hochshuler shrugged, blase'. "So?" he said. "'Yom Kippur' has an R in it, doesn't it?"
