  Memoirs of a Jewminicana: Aliza Hausman — Authority: 504
  What DOES a Jew do on Christmas Eve? There have been years after my conversion when I have been so ensconced in the Jewish world that I didnt even remember that December 24 and December 25 had any significance to anyone, much less to myself at one time and my family.

• What do you say when...?

  Memoirs of a Jewminicana: Aliza Hausman — Authority: 504
  The OU finally put up a piece that I sold to them about a year ago. It will probably piss off some potato kugel aficionados and for that, I apologize.
