re: #139 Vicious Babushka
My son married an Alabama girl! Theirs was the very first Hasidic wedding in Birmingham.
An Irish Catholic friend of ours married an Orthodox doctor, and tried very, very, hard to convert correctly. They had a rabbi from Birmingham commute down here for lessons. At one point, after the hospital delivered each doctor’s home an Easter basket with a ham, she called my wife:
“Come get this fucking pig out of my refrigerator before my husband gets home.”
