Lob a Chunk o' Feedback at Blog d'Elisson
This was a fantastic post!! I loved it, and I think it's wonderful (albeit, a bissel fakoct) that you would like a mezuzah for your home.
Girl, you are one in a mil. Really.
And to me, you should know, Jews and the Japanese go hand in hand.
A zisen Pesach to you, Bou...and SWMBO, Erisson-san, ED, and the MOS.
Bou
I do not partake in religion but that is how I educated my daughters, by finding the best Yewish or Catholic school in my area. In Africa that sometimes meant Boarding schools.
They are serius good neighbours.
.... beautiful post, Bou...... I am sure that Elisson is doing just fine.... he is King of making his own way!......
My brother Roy tells about a home repair job (remediating termite damage) he did at a home in north Dallas. When he and his coworker made the first visit (to inspect for termite damage), his colleague reached up and pushed on the Mezuzah -- mistaking it for the doorbell. Quick-thinking Roy made a buzzer noise.
After three or four tries at the buzzer, Roy finally told his coworker, "Try the other doorbell."
That other doorbell had a much more pleasant chime and actually succeeded in summoning the owner. Later Roy told the homeowner about his Mezezah/doorbell.
The home owner asked, "So, just out of curiosity, what sound does a Mezuzah make?"
Roy smiled and said in a nasal buzzing voice, "Shemaaaaaa!
The home owner shrugged and said, "Of course, what else would a Mezuzah sound like?"
In the hot springs resort of Beppu, down on the southern island of Kyushu, Elder Daughter and I had a most unusual Seder in our traditional Japanese hotel room. I got out the box of matzah and the bottle of Manischewitz wine that I had carefully transported halfway around the globe, and we proceeded to consume both (with the appropriate blessings). Wasabi was on hand to serve as the bitter herb.
Strange, but, well, how many Jews get to spend Pesach in Beppu?
