[soc.culture.jewish] A True Story!

This year, the Conservative Erev Rosh Hashanah service on campus was located
in the Auditorium, a large multi-purpose building toward the center of campus.
After the service had ended and I had exchanged various New Year's greetings,
I was making my way out of the building alone.  I started down the steps
leading from the Auditorium's entrance, and noticed three people sitting on
the steps, apparently waiting for the building to clear out, so that they
could do whatever they were going to do in there.  I did a double take.
They were attired, shall we say, as if they were participating in Animal
House's most famous party scene.  Well, for a serious punster, such
opportunities only come along maybe once a year, and being full of the
holiday spirit, I wasn't about to let this one pass me by.  As I walked past
them, I murmurred, "Shanah Toga!"

Happy New Year,
