			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Just in time for it to go viral for the Holydaze, the cartoon Torah geniuses at <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2401">G-dcast</a> have teamed up with Savannah's own Jewish Southern hip-hop maestro, <a href="http://g-dcast.com/shofar-callin/prodezra-beats">Prodezra Beats</a>, to give us a kickin' new take on the story of Abraham and Isaac. Let the head-bobbing begin:

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vEOya0ZG0I0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vEOya0ZG0I0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Thank you to my favorite lunch lady and partner in hot sauce crime, Marcia Silverman, for the link!

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy. Or <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1259">cowgirl</a>, as it were.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list. May getting rained on be the worst thing that happens to any of us today, <b>comprare chantix</b>.  <b>Osta alennus chantix</b>, <em>*Francesco Hayez's depiction of the destruction of the Second Temple from <a href="http://www.essential-architecture.com">essential-architecture.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>

An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list. May getting rained on be the worst thing that happens to any of us today, <b>comprare chantix</b>.  <b>Osta alennus chantix</b>, <em>*Francesco Hayez's depiction of the destruction of the Second Temple from <a href="http://www.essential-architecture.com">essential-architecture.com</a>.</p>

An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1722.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1722-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="IMG_1722" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2691" /></a> <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, So, listen up, kidlets, here's my <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm">Purim</a> shpiel:</p>
<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy.

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

Let the head-bobbing begin:

Thank you to my favorite lunch lady and partner in hot sauce crime, Marcia Silverman, for the link!

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else.

<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list.

She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list. May getting rained on be the worst thing that happens to any of us today, <b>comprare chantix</b>.  <b>Osta alennus chantix</b>, <em>*Francesco Hayez's depiction of the destruction of the Second Temple from <a href="http://www.essential-architecture.com">essential-architecture.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1722.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1722-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="IMG_1722" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2691" /></a> <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, So, listen up, kidlets, here's my <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm">Purim</a> shpiel:</p>
<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Just in time for it to go viral for the Holydaze, the cartoon Torah geniuses at <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2401">G-dcast</a> have teamed up with Savannah's own Jewish Southern hip-hop maestro, <a href="http://g-dcast.com/shofar-callin/prodezra-beats">Prodezra Beats</a>, to give us a kickin' new take on the story of Abraham and Isaac. Let the head-bobbing begin:

Thank you to my favorite lunch lady and partner in hot sauce crime, Marcia Silverman, for the link!

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy. Or <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1259">cowgirl</a>, as it were.

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list. May getting rained on be the worst thing that happens to any of us today, <b>comprare chantix</b>.  <b>Osta alennus chantix</b>, <em>*Francesco Hayez's depiction of the destruction of the Second Temple from <a href="http://www.essential-architecture.com">essential-architecture.com</a>.</p>

An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Just in time for it to go viral for the Holydaze, the cartoon Torah geniuses at <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2401">G-dcast</a> have teamed up with Savannah's own Jewish Southern hip-hop maestro, <a href="http://g-dcast.com/shofar-callin/prodezra-beats">Prodezra Beats</a>, to give us a kickin' new take on the story of Abraham and Isaac. Let the head-bobbing begin:

Thank you to my favorite lunch lady and partner in hot sauce crime, Marcia Silverman, for the link!

I predict 5771 to be Prodezra Beats' breakout year: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/prodezra1">Check out more of his catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics</a> on the EP "Proud to Be." May his talents be known as far and wide as another international Jewish superstar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tS4OWiozmw&feature=related">SoCalled</a>, who reminds us that there's nothing so unusual about being a Jewish cowboy. Or <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1259">cowgirl</a>, as it were.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/webheader-2010b.gif" alt="" title="webheader-2010b" width="293" height="215" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3127" /></a>Yes, I know it's a little early for well-wishing for the <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/hh/e/48966581.html">Month of Elul</a>, which begins at sundown on August 10. 

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list. May getting rained on be the worst thing that happens to any of us today, <b>comprare chantix</b>.  <b>Osta alennus chantix</b>, <em>*Francesco Hayez's depiction of the destruction of the Second Temple from <a href="http://www.essential-architecture.com">essential-architecture.com</a>.</p>

An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>

<a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">Elul is last moon cycle</a> before Rosh Hashanah, and it's traditionally a time for reflection before the new year, a chance to inventory our sins so we can present ourselves in humble repentance on Yom Kippur. 

Considering my personal alphabet of arrogance, blasphemy, crabbiness, doubt, egregious sarcasm, flagrant self-pity, gross ineptitude, haughtiness, ingratitude, jealousy, know-it-allness, laziness, mouthiness, nagging, obnoxious, prude when I should be pervy and vice versa, quick to judge, rude, shallow, too loud, unkind, verbose to the point of indulgence, yellow-bellied cowardice with zero-tolerance for these qualities in others, I should have started repenting LAST month. (I know switched from nouns to adjectives in there, so let's add grammatically inconsistent to the list.)

While there are <a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/elul.htm">plenty of traditions</a> associated with Elul, my favorite way to remind myself to pay better attention to my behavior is signing up for <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">
Jewels of Elul</a>, a short, thought-provoking nugget of wisdom sent to your inbox every day of this month written by someone smart, famous or both. Even if you've kept your sinning to a minimum this year of 5770, the Jewels are always good entertainment: <a href="http://www.jewelsofelul.com/">Sign yourself up here</a>.

The reason for these early Elul tidings is that the Yenta will be offline for a couple of weeks. It's finally time to collect Yenta Boy from summer camp, and the family will be heading to the mountains for some non-electric navel-gazing. I look forward to a whole necklace of jewels to contemplate when I return!]]></content:encoded>

Tisha B'Av</a> is basically the Jewish Anniversary of Awful: <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/9av/oal/48944076.html">On this day</a> in 586 BCE, Nebuchadnezzar and his army of mad Babylonians destroyed the First Temple in Jerusalem, <b>discount chantix</b>, <b>Køb billige chantix</b>, murdering 100,000 Jews and exiling a million, <b>acheter chantix</b>.  <b>Order chantix online</b>, In 70AD, the Romans did the same to the Second Temple, <b>cheap generic chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix</b>, only they killed two million and exiled everyone else. The anti-Semitic Spanish monarchs expelled all their Jews on this day in 1492 (yes, <b>købe chantix</b>, <b>Köpa chantix online</b>, the same year their bitch Columbus <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2326">was handing out syphilis to the indigenous people of the Americas</a>.)</p>
<p>There are even more ugly coincidences on the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av: officially being kicked out of England in 1290, the deportation of Warsaw's Jews to the Ghetto in 1942, <b>order chantix without prescription</b>, <b>Online chantix</b>, the bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 (technically, it was the day after the ninth, <b>αγοράζουν online chantix</b>, <b>Order chantix no rx</b>, but it was still Tisha B'Av on the West Coast) and in 2005, the beginning of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza the forced expulsion of the residents of Gush Katif (no matter whose side you're on, <b>buy chantix online without prescription</b>, <b>Texas TX Tex. </b>, that was not a good day for anyone involved.) And yet, impossibly, <b>South Dakota SD </b>, <b>Acheter chantix bon marché</b>, there are even more calamities listed <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/a/Tisha-B-Av-Calamities.htm">here</a>.</p>
<p>Observant Jews commemorate this day with a fast and restriction on anything that smacks of work, <b>New Hampshire NH N.H. </b>, <b>Ordering chantix online without prescription</b>, play or sex.  Portions of "Lamentations" are recited at synagogue along with special elegies--sometimes there's crying as our people bemoan all the really heavy sh*t that's come down on us and pray for better times, <b>buy chantix</b>.</p>
<p>Jews like me--that is to say, <b>Maine ME Me. </b>, <b>Chantix no prescription</b>, those who do not take the time out of our lives to participate in this communal mourning--might be at work, clicking around the 'net, <b>Missouri MO Mo. </b>, <b>Delaware DE Del. </b>, feeling a vague blue moodiness and promising ourselves that we will light a <em>yartzeit</em> (memorial) candle when we get home tonight for all of those who endured horror on past ninths of Av.</p>
<p>While there's still time for Ahmedinejad to push the button or Hamas to throw another PR flotilla party, <b>billiga chantix apotek</b>, <b>Cheap chantix no prescription</b>, I'm thinking 2010 won't appear on the Tisha B'Av list.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg"><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/Jonas-Regina.jpg" alt="" title="Jonas-Regina" width="225" height="351" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2738" /></a> <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Raised as a Reform Jew by an ardent feminist, it was drilled into me that I could grow up to be anything I wanted. An astronaut, a doctor, <b>augmentin 750</b>, the President — whatever (though I'm sure an underemployed freelance writer slacker mom wasn't what <a href="http://marciafine.com/">my highly accomplished mother</a> had in mind.)</p>
<p>Schooled as I was in the sections of the <a href="http://www.equalrightsamendment.org/">Equal Rights Amendment</a>, <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, I didn't study a lot of Torah; Reform Jews in the 70s read Marlo Thomas' <em><a href="http://www.freetobefoundation.org/">Free to Be You And Me</a></em> to their daughters instead of the <em><a href="http://www.torah.org/learning/pirkei-avos/">Pirkei Avot</a></em>. I didn't yet know the marked differences in the assimilated American lifestyle of my family and the daily rituals observance performed by Orthodox Jews or the separation between men and women in all facets of home, prayer and work, <b>augmentin for tooth abscess</b>.</p>
<p>I met my first female rabbi back in 80s (She was young.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, She played guitar. She didn't have hair growing out of her ears!) and I figured any Jewish woman could become a rabbi as long as she stayed in Hebrew school and liked to wear robes, but that's not true for the stern patriarchy of the Orthodox: While women are revered, most of the men in charge don't believe women should study Torah, let alone teach it, <b>augmentin 500mg</b>. I never really considered becoming a rabbi (it's a calling, and the phone's never rung) but I like to think if my family had been more religious, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, as contentious as I am, <b>Augmentin for ear infection</b>, it would have been my first career choice.</p>
<p>While women <a href="http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/femalerabbi.html">have been ordained in the Reform and Conservative Movements for decades</a> (the photo is of the first ordained female rabbi, <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/jonas-regina">Regina Jonas</a>), <b>augmentin 750 mg</b>, Orthodox women have continued to be rejected by the religious governing body.  <b>Augmentin 825</b>, However, some have pushed firmly through the objections of the fathers and studied at yeshiva with the aim of serving as spiritual leaders in their communities. The <a href="http://www.jofa.org/">Jewish Feminist Orthodox Alliance</a>, <b>generic augmentin 875</b>, led by the completely awesome <a href="http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/greenberg-blu">Blu Greenberg</a>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, maintains this issue as its focus.  <b>Augmentin 500mg</b>, Greenberg is the first Orthodox woman to reconcile tradition and feminism, sits on the boards of <a href="http://">Hadassah</a> and <em><a href="http://www.lilith.org/">Lilith</a></em> magazine and probably knows more about Jewish law than any guy rabbi I've ever known.</p>
<p>Last week,<a href="http://forward.com/articles/126558/"> JOFA was shot down again, <b>augmentin 600 mg</b>,</a> this time over the term "rabba." Perhaps JOFA's supporters thought this new, <b>Augmentin 800</b>, feminine form of "rabbi" would soften minds; it's a title already used to delineate women ordained in the "more flexible" faiths. But the president of the Rabbi Council of America insists that to "confer ordination on women is a breach of ... our tradition, <b>augmentin 375 mg</b>, and it is unacceptable."</p>
<p>Greenberg is undeterred, <b>Augmentin gram negative</b>, spinning the RCA's ruling into something positive: “On the one hand, I do feel the disappointment [of] women who have worked for a title and a certain certification ... but I also feel, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, in the context of this entire enterprise, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, it’s going to work in their favor. Ultimately we have to keep our eye down the road, as well as on today.”</p>
<p>Keep on', <b>augmentin 375</b>, Blu and the rest of y'all — with your clear knowledge of <em>halacha</em> and determination, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, you'll wear 'em down eventually.</p>
<p>However, as much as I support JOFA, <b>augmentin 750</b>, my feminist ear actually does not love the gender-specifying quality of "rabba." It's been years since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_job_title">the debate over gender neutral job titles</a> has evolved into socially accepted, <b>Augmentin 375 mg</b>, politically correct language that describes the job without pointing out gender — we don't say "waiter" and "waitress" anymore; it's "server." Don't you call the person who brings you a can of Coke on a plane a "stewardess" — it's been "flight attendant" forever. "Rabba" sounds cutesy, a pet name, and I think these educated, pious, women have worked too hard for respect and equality to have to feminize their title.</p>
<p>But I'm not Orthodox, and I don't know jack about what it's like to be told I can't be something because I'm a woman.</p>

<p>Once upon a time in a borough called Shushan, there was this pervy king named Ahasuerus who wanted his queen, Vashti, to dance naked for him and all his gross friends.  <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, Vashti did right by her momma, and was all, <b>augmentin 825 mg</b>, <b>Generic augmentin 875</b>, "I don't <em>think</em> so — I was not raised on the pole, thank you" so King Ass "deposed" her, <b>augmentin 750</b>.  <b>Augmentin 375</b>, Maybe that means he killed her, maybe he sent her back to her mom, <b>augmentin gram negative</b>, <b>Augmentin 750 mg</b>, we don't know. But we do know that he went looking for a new queen, <b>augmentin for ear infections</b>, <b>Augmentin 825 mg</b>, and found a lady so pretty he didn't even care that she was from the other side of the camel's tracks.</p>
<p>This lady, <b>buy cheap generic augmentin online</b>, <b>Augmentin xr 1000 mg</b>, Esther, was a nice Jewish girl and didn't just have smokin' looks, <b>augmentin 800</b>, <b>Augmentin 800 mg</b>, she had smarts, too, <b>augmentin for ear infection</b>. She got her uncle Mordecai are good job at the palace after he foiled an attempt to kill the king, but Mordecai pissed off one of the kingdom's most important advisors, a very bad man named Haman who had silly taste in hatwear, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875-125 mg</b>, Haman decided to punish Mordecai by devising a plan to wipe all the Jews off the map of Persia, which totally freaked everyone out — except Esther, <b>augmentin for tooth infection</b>.  <b>Augmentin 875 mg price</b>, She stayed calm and informed her husband that if he listened to this douchebag, she'd have to hang at the gallows, <b>augmentin 825</b>, <b>Augmentin 625 duo</b>, too. The king rightly deduced that evil politicians are far easier to replace than wives who will put up with his bullsh*t, <b>augmentin and birth control pills</b>, so he ordered Haman to be hanged in the very noose meant for Mordecai.</p>
<p>And then all the Jews lived happily ever after, or until the next pogrom.  <b>Augmentin 875mg</b>, (What, you're looking for something a little more educational. Then go <a href="http://judaism.about.com/od/purim/a/purimstory.htm?once=true&">here</a>. Or <a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/b/48969186.html">here</a>. But <a href="http://www.heebmagazine.com/store/view/60">not here</a>.)</p>
<p>Now we party. 'Cause even though this megillah isn't in the Torah and doesn't mention any Divine influences, we are <a href="http://www.chabad.org/holidays/purim/article_cdo/aid/2814/jewish/The-Purim-Drunk.htm">obligated by the rabbis</a> as good (I mean, bad, BAD!) Jews to "drink until we do not know the difference between 'cursed be Haman' and 'blessed be Mordechai.'" There you have it — a Talmudic edict to get sh*tfaced.  (I know my friend <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=2544">Uber Shiksa Chick</a> is gonna go hogwild on this.)</p>
<p>Anyone who's witnessed El Yenta Man and I dressed as Queen Vashti and Bad Haman (respectively) handing a flask back and forth over the synagogue pews know that the Yenta household takes Purim very seriously, <b>augmentin 875mg</b>. The Wild Turkey has already been poured to bring to Sunday morning services, but I assure the parents of my Shalom Schoolers that I will not be breaking it out until I safely return your children to you. After that, I take no responsibility for my actions and may have to be peeled off the bima while performing a blistering rap that combines the lyrics of Lady Gaga and "Shalom Aleichem."</p>
<p>Other Purim traditions involve delivering <em><a href="http://www.aish.com/h/pur/m/48968806.html">mishloach manot</a></em> (bags of treats similar to Easter baskets except Jews hate pastels) and performing practical jokes. Do you think egging my in-laws' house could count as both.</p>
<p>Oh, and you know I can't let a Purim pass without reposting <a href="http://www.shabot6000.com">Shabot6000</a>'s perfectly brilliant Purim parody:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hope y'all had an easy fast - s'sorry I've been MIA, but El Yenta Man and I celebrated our 10th anniversary of marriage by NOT putting up a sukkah and jetting off to Puerto Rico. 

Don't ask where my tan is - it rained the whole time. But we had some close encounters of the Jewish kind, which I promise to fill you in on after I've caught up at work and uploaded photos.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ahref ='http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg'><img src="http://www.yoyenta.com/wp-content/uploads/hot_tub_chickens.jpg" alt="" title="hot_tub_chickens" width="216" height="162" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1901" />Some Jews' <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1894">hideous treatment of animals</a> is receiving yet more negative attention, this time surrounding the mysterious ritual of <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm"><em>kapores</em></a>, the custom of swinging a live chicken 'round one's head the day before Yom Kippur. <a href="http://www.jta.org/cgi-bin/iowa/news/article/20080825kapporosPETA08252008.html">JTA reports</a> that dumpsters full of rotting chickens were discovered after the High Holy Days in Brooklyn last year - the trash bags numbering into the hundreds. 

This constitutes consumer fraud, according to a complaint that PETA has lodged against one <em>kapporot</em> center in Crown Heights. Since those who participate in the custom expect that the chickens will be donated to charity, and "the center knew it was selling and killing more chickens than it could process, its actions constituted deceptive advertising and consumer fraud, as well as a violation of the principle of 'ba’al tashchit,' or wasteful, wanton destruction."

The idea is that one's sins are transferred to the fowl while it's dizzily squawking. But even <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Maimonides criticized</a> this voodoo-esque ritual as "superstitious" back in the 11th century, and <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/407513/jewish/Kapparot-The-Chicken-Thing.htm">Chabad's explanation</a> doesn't seem too complimentary:
<blockquote>The reality is that there is no magic in <em>kapores</em> which transfers a person's sins to the chicken. Even in the days of the Temple, sins were not magically transferred to an animal. The entire purpose of <em>kapores</em> is to create an experience that inspires a person to <em>teshuvah</em>, that is to return to G-d and to repent. All the sacrifices — and chickens — in the world will not result in forgiveness, unless <em>teshuvah</em> takes place.</blockquote>

The whole business seems pretty freakin' nasty. I had never even heard of <em>kapores</em> until I started this blog and fell into the giant Jewish portal of the many Torah education sites - there just wasn't too much chicken-swinging happening in Arizona suburbs in the 80s. But even as I inch my way ever-so-slowly towards a more halachic life, I can guarantee the Yenta Family will always sit this one out. 

The good news is that according to some, you can fulfill the terms of <em>kapores</em> by waving money, reciting a few pslams and sticking the cash in the <em>tzedakeh</em> box. Way more humane and smells better.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.myjewishlearning.com/daily_life/Shabbat/Overview_Shabbat_at_Home/Havdalah_files/image002.gif" alt="havdalah" />Here at Yenta headquarters, religious traditions tend to devolve into <em><a href="http://www.proz.com/kudoz/yiddish_to_english/art_literary/495295-momzer.html">momzer </a></em>moments. In spite of our best intentions, someone's always eating off the seder plate or playing "Taps" on the shofar. 

Look, we try. But y'know, dancing, davening, whatever. Here's the Yenta's recommendations for a groovin', Shavua Tov:
<strong>
1. "L'Cha" by <a href="http://www.thechevra.com/">The Chevra.</a></strong>
Get the party started with the tune that made frum fashionable - check out <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1173072980962281458">David Lavon's famous inspirational moves</a>.

<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGIWOrsPgbU&feature=related">2. "Water" by Mastiyahu</a>.</strong>
Could this be complete without a track from Judaism's reggae rock star?

<strong>3. "Chiribim" by <a href="http://www.golemrocks.com/">Golem</a></strong>
Old Country meets hot hipsters. Nothing like a little post-punk accordion to get heads bobbing!

<strong>4. "Hava Nagila" by the <a href="http://www.hoodios.com/">Hip Hop Hoodios</a></strong>
Plenty of beat flava for the whole family, except for the masturbation reference. And surely they're saying "I'm a Jew for Cheeses"...right?

<a href="http://www.hiphopshabbat.com/music.html"><strong>5. "Bar'chu/Sh'mama" by the Original Jewish Gangsters</strong></a>
The album Hip Hop Shabbat has been on heavy rotation here for years - there IS such a thing as sacred rhyme, yo.

<strong>6. "L'Cha Dodi" by <a href="http://www.craignco.com/index.php">Craig Taubman</a></strong>
The Yenta's favorite <a href="http://www.yoyenta.com/?p=1688">silver fox</a> delivers Shabbat's #1 tune in loopy Dixieland jazz format. 

<strong>7. "Not By Might, Not By Power" by <a href="http://www.debbiefriedman.com/">Debbie Friedman</a></strong>
The kids dig this one, plus it comes with built-in choreography.

<strong>8. "Hamavdil" by <a href="http://www.pharaohsdaughter.com/music.html">Pharoah's Daughter</a></strong>
There may be some Grateful Dead-esque Sufi spinning happening about now in your livingroom...

<strong>9. "Eyes of a Child" by <a href="http://www.hamsalila.com">Hamsa Lila</a></strong>
Continuing on the psychedelic trance train, an elevated perspective is inevitable.

<strong>10. "T'Shuatam" by <a href="http://www.neshamacarlebach.com/home.htm">Neshama Carlbach</a></strong>
Kick off the week with screaming guitars and infectious drums - this lady's always good for the <em>neshamah,</em> 'aight?

There it is - a rhythmic recipe for a fabulous week!

Anyone have any suggestions for Version 2.0?]]></content:encoded>
