Official Hug a Jew Day 2/2/09



In honor of Jewish Christmas -- which is today, right? or ended yesterday? or maybe in a couple of
weeks? who's to say?! -- we feel pressed to remind you that February 2, 2009, is Official Hug a Jew Day.

This could be the single most awesome holiday ever invented. And the rules are so simple:

Every Jew that you see you must address with a hug

This is an event for everybody around the world, Jews and non-Jews to hug Jews
Some religious Jewish people, it seems, can not touch the other sex, so be careful: If you have the
slightest doubt, you may want to ask them before you hug them

Jew, in this event, "includes any sect or part of Jewishness" (i.e., half, quarter, traditional,
conservative, reform, orthodox, chareide, chabad, executive producer, agent, general
practitioner -- ALL JEWS INCLUDED)

1. People might find it odd if I were to walk around saying: Excuse me are you a Jew?

and then hugging them if they say yes.......

Although I think the smart ones would not reply either way and run away from me as fast as possible.

2. Just Hug Everybody

8. OMG I love that picture.........

You do know that bear probably ate that wolf in the next shot right?

9. No the bear and the husky played

This was one of many cases of bears (mostly singles) being
buddies w/ Huskies ..... everybody needs friends.

10. wow....very odd

Polar Bears are not known for being social animals, except mothers with young cubs.

3. I'm thinking that I'll hug this one...

4. Hug? I'll Take Random Acts Of Kindness...

Checks and bills of any denomination...ya see I'm "non-denomiational". :rofl:

At least things are better than in my parents day when kicking a Jew as considered "good sport".

5. Is it National Brotherhood Week already?

National Brotherhood Week
Tom Lehrer

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics,
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Muslims,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!
