Ok, as of recently I have been receiving complaints from people who have criticized Jewneric as being a shill for the Obama campaign. And so it is with that criticism in mind that I write this. I dislike Barak Obama. I do. I feel that he lacks the experience necessary to bring this country out of the terrible rescission we are seeing now. I find myself worried about his ten year support and connection to a ...

I was walking home for shul this Shabbos when a Lexus came to a stop about twenty feet away from me. Two kids, no more than seventeen, sat in the front of the car. As I walked by they rolled down their window and began to yell a series of anti-Semitic things at me. I assessed the situation and promptly decided on a course of action. I reached down deep for the meanest, scariest voice I posses and in a New York accent that would make Bobby D proud I shouted, "The @#&! did you just say?" I then began a slow, menacing walk towards the Lexus, staring the kid in the driver's seat in the face. The reaction was priceless. The faces of the kids in the car went from amused to scared and by the time I had taken six steps the Lexus peeled away. There were several reasons that I chose to deal with the situation this way. Firstly, the reaction I received was exactly the reaction I expected to get. I knew that these kids thought that what they were doing was very funny and so I chose to react in a way that shifted their paradigm. I made their actions change from amusing to frightening. In much the same way, people I have told this story to say, "Are you nuts? Those kids could have been armed!" Those kids thought, "Oh crap! He probably has a weapon or kung fu training or he's a terminator or whatever." The point is that I knew they were just two punk kids in a car and they only knew that I was crazy enough to think about assaulting an automobile. Because this experience became scary for them, I am fairly certain that they will not be doing it again. They weren't really anti-Semitic; they were just hobbyists. ...

A lot of people are not big wine drinkers, and I don't blame them. Wine (especially good wine) is an acquired taste. That's why Rashi and Bartenura have done so well making Moscato which, with its very low alcohol content and overly sweet taste, might actually be more of a wine cooler than an actual wine. What's unfortunate, though, is ...
