Mexicana marries into the jewish family, and fights for the right for the sacred meal to have ......beans. You cant make this stuff up.
And I imagine European Jewish people are very put off by things that produce gas.
They also brought wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils...2 Samuel 17:28
Then Maria could put ‘Whoopie cushions’ under her in-laws’ sofas and chairs.
Now, that’s entertainment.
This Latina seems to think that the Seder is somehow about her. If her inlays want to keep an 800 year old tradition of no legumes they’re certainly entitled to do so. She can eat her beloved beans the other 364 days in the year. Seems reasonable enough to me.
Only in America. Now how about some good unleavened tortillas?
Corn tortillas are unleavened. Maybe not Kosher, but they’re unleavened.
Ashkenazim tend to be more strict while Spharadim are more laid back.
Both traditions are fine.
As time passes and more Spharadim marry Ashkenaizm (or Latinas work within Jewish families) and visa versa, people care less and less about these strict aspects and blend them into something like a hybrid.
Israel today represents that hybrid.
There, the Jews mix everything into a culinary delight and a less restrictive atmosphere even though the Orthodoxy rules that state in terms of general observance. East meets West and the end result is a more resilient people.
“Why is this night different from all other nights?”
Well, for one thing, Maria: no beans and rice.
I still think that if the woman’s in-laws want to keep an 800 year old tradition, they’re entitled to do so. She has the entire rest of the year to eat beans. It sounds as if a day off to show a little deference to her husband’s family might do her some good.
You have a great tag line.
I pity her intestines.
I’m always amused by little people who jump on a thread for no other purpose than to announce they don’t care about the subject. That’s so silly!
Sounds as if she ditched Jesus Christ the incarnate Son of God and Savior of the world without a problem. But she has to remind her in-laws she’s a wise Latina every moment, every day, every meal, trampling on their traditions...
What is her problem?
That’s sort of the sense I’m getting, too.
From Orwell.
“I’m always amused by little people who jump on a thread for no other purpose than to announce they don’t care about the subject. That’s so silly!”
Oh, twerp... I do care about Pesach. If you read the “article” as I did, and have any common sense at all, you will agree it is a nothingburger.
