~ ~ We the Pymies of the United Hates, in order to form a more perfect Fashunn, shall overlook, hereby, Coco Chanel's deeds most abhorrent* , in bestowing upon her the Honorary Seal of Pymproval : * In 1923, Vera Bate Lombardi, (born Sarah Gertrude Arkwright), reputedly the illegitimate daughter of the Marquess of Cambridge, afforded Chanel entry into the highest levels of British aristocracy. It was an elite group of associations revolving around such personages as Winston Churchill, aristocrats such as the Duke of Westminster, and royals such as Edward, Prince of Wales. It was in Monte Carlo in 1923, at age forty that Chanel was introduced by Lombardi to the vastly wealthy Duke of Westminster, Hugh Richard Arthur Grosvenor, known to his intimates as "Bendor". The Duke of Westminster lavished Chanel with extravagant jewels, costly art, and a home in London's prestigious Mayfair distric

Most Uncommon Frum Baby Names

Angiepymytu is lurking on a three-year-old forum topic called "Most Uncommon Frum Names" , on a website called Yeshiva World News. Not sure what more there is to say here... A600KiloBear Inactive, per member request BS"D But are the Bahiyas named Batya for kodesh the way an American Batya might be known as Beth on paper, or has Bahiya become a kodesh name the way the French names have in Morocco? Annette is Chana, but there are granddaughters of Annettes who was born at the time the Alliance started in Morocco is called Annette and only Annette even if her parents are very haredi. Especially in EY, people do not even know that the name was French but think it is an authentic Moroccan Jewish first name - which I guess it is once the name is given in memory of someone. My friend's mother by now probably has (great)grandchildren named Annette for their (great)grandmother as per Sefardi custom. If you saw Rabbanit Annette shopping in Boro Park, the only wa

Oh, how I wish that I could attend ADL's annual summit this Sunday in DC.  To chill with DVF and Elie Wiesel.  And, you know, Madeline Albright.  And Condi.  Always Condi. Practically my whole department will be there.  But I'm not invited to this exodus.   (ு८ு_ .:) a sample exodus

Ásatrúarfélag (do the RandomFactoidDance)

Perhaps unique to Iceland is the fast growing Ásatrúarfélag, a legally recognized revival of the pre-Christian Nordic religion of the original settlers. According to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Reykjavík, there were only approximately 30 Jews in Iceland as of 2001. [32] The First Lady of Iceland Dorrit Moussaieff is an Israeli-born Bukharian Jew.

Book by David Marnet (father of Zosia/Shoshana Shapiro)

It's called The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-hatred, and the Jews . Mamet addresses the book "To the Jews…whose favorite Jew is Anne Frank…who bow the head reverently at a baptism and have never attended a bris – to you, who find your religion and race repulsive, your ignorance of your history a satisfaction, here is a book from your brother." Mamet confronts his readers: "The world hates Jews. ... The world hates you." Mamet goes on to analyze what happens when Jews abandon loyalty to their religion and tradition in order, as he sees it, to find acceptance in Israel-bashing liberal society. "It is the sin of the spies, a ‘coward generation’ with a ‘lack of belief in God.’ People have a drive to worship something, and will fill the void left by rejecting God by worshipping sports, celebrities, ‘wealth, fame, status, sex, physical fitness, good works, human perfectibility.” In the lavish bar mitzvah, Mamet sees the sin of the golden calf: "

"YES, I want to help change the lives of Israel's children in need - and ensure a brighter future for the State of Israel. Enclosed is my tax deductible contribution to the Israel Tennis Centers Foundation." Jeez, you give money to one Jewish organization and you get on the mailing list for all of them. Also...tennis. Really?

  The pidyon haben , ( Hebrew : פדיון הבן ‎) or redemption of the first born son , is a mitzvah in Judaism whereby a Jewish firstborn son is redeemed by use of silver coins from his birth-state of sanctity. The redemption is attained by giving five silver coins to a Kohen (a patrilineal descendant of the priestly family of Aaron ).             It says in Numbers: And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites ... And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the L ORD , as the L ORD commanded Moses. The Shulkhan Arukh states that when a Jewish woman gives birth to a firstborn male by natural means, then the child must be "redeemed". The father of the child must "redeem" the child from a known Kohen representing the original Temple priesthood, for the sum of five silver Shekels , or equivalent in country's currency (if it h
