I love the Jewish people, and I love cats. However, putting them together....

[Gefn]

Israeli national anthem?

[Bobalu]

I really like that tune.

I must have half a dozen different versions of it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Why not? The Jews and the cats are good with it.

[Gefn]

So... Is kitty modeling the Tallis and yalmulke for D’s bar mitzvah?

And where did you find the Nyan Katz?

[Slings and Arrows]

Yep.

[Slings and Arrows]

It really is time that he started studying, isn’t it?

WRT Nyan Katz (LOL!), did a Google image search on “Israel” and “cats” and got lucky.

[Slings and Arrows]

One of my favs too.

[Gefn]

Yes, he needs to study but he’s a smart kitty and he can learn his Torah portion in a day.

Cats get very small Torah portions to memorize. Like a sentence.

Will Noshville Katz deli do the catering? I would also recommend Lundy’s seafood or Wolfies if it was a perfect world.

[jjotto]

But the LOLcats could no longer haz a cheezburger.

[CatherineofAragon]

Don’t know why, but this song always makes me tear up. I really, really like your version, Slings.

[Slings and Arrows]

I didn’t even know he could read Hebrew.

[Gefn]

I don’t know if he can read English.

[Gefn]

You are right! Cheezeburgers and fries!

Purrfect!

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you very much! (IMO, the song really expresses the sense of loss resulting from the Diaspora, and the longing to return home.)

[Slings and Arrows]

Wouldn’t put it past him.

[CatherineofAragon]

That has to be it. It really comes through.

[Red Badger]

Synth-bagpipes?.......like the real ones aren’t bad enough?............
