Let's start off with some Singles Adds from Israel

Though my New Orleans Post will have to wait, I thought I would update today’s post in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Before you get your TzitTzit in a twist, we will be giving St. Patty’s day a Jewish spin. I saw you on Purim…I saw you on Simcha Torah… Stop rolling your eyes and give in to all that’s green and alcoholic. Don’t even start with the “I do not celebrate St. Patrick’s Day” and the “ Oh it’s not Jewish- I’m not celebrating a Saint” . If you like to drink, you love it. If you love beer you love it. If you love the Irish accent you love it. Don’t even lie that you do not like the Irish accent.

What’s a Jew to Do’s Guide to St. Patrick’s Day:
·         Let’s start this off my mentioning the Jewish Community in Ireland. Yes Jews do live in Ireland.
·         Irish + Jews have made babies and unfortunately this may or may not have been one of these babies
·         No matter what this tune will stay in your head. PS I want this guy’s hat. See you tree of Tursday.
·         Celebrate St. Patty’s Day with a drink of two at your local Kiddush club. Don’t prefer that road? Go home and blame it on the Irish.
·         After Shabbat (Motzi Shabbat) go crazy. I mean it. Buy some green coloring. Make green pizza. Green cake. Green drinks. Green Bagels. Green cookies. Let your imagination go wild.

I think this will conclude my list for now. If you ever get the chance you should totally visit Ireland. It's beautiful. Everything is lush and green and there is so much to do! The food is fine ( the fish is really good!) The music is fun and the pubs are nice. Dublin has a lot going on ...What are you doing to celebrate?
