The last two Jews in Kabul fight like cat and dog

I once met and went into the home of the last Jew in Oswiecim, the Polish town the Germans called Auschwitz. (How this happened is a long story.) He seemed, unsurprisingly, totally daft, although my guide said (and others in the town agreed) that he was harmless.

It was one of the most forlornly extraordinary experiences of my life, and I will remember his little room as long as I live. I read that he died sometime in the last two years.

Don't think for a moment that Jews have cornered the market on this sort of thing. I can tell you with certainty that Greeks and other Mediterranean types have elevated such to an art form. Perhaps it's something in the olives, which, I understand, Afghanis like to eat as well......

But now that the survivor can claim unchallnaged authority over which synagoguge is the right one, isn't he free to move? Wasn't the whole point of the 2 staying to not be the one to budge?

Didn't they already do one? These guys are the real-life "Sunshine Boys".

Muslims would respect the Torah but not a Buddah. The buddah would be considered an idol. Muslim men can marry Jews and Christians but NOT buddists or hindus. Remember the muslims recognize the the first 5 books of the bible and view Jesus as a prophet..

If so, Jerry Stiller ('George Costanza’s' father 'Frank' on Seinfeld) should be tapped to play Levy.

For the sake of their religion and all, the old farts ought to split the difference, shake hands and sit down to a nice Festivus meal, followed of course by feats of strength. They've already done the "airing of grievances" portion of the Festivus rituals.

There are probably no aluminum poles left in Trashcanistan at this point, so they're excused from that.

LOL!

"I've got a lot of PROBLEMS with you people!"

Being 'Orthodox' myself, I'm unwilling to excuse them from the requirement that they put up their aluminum poles.

In fact, it may be that their lack of proper Festivus poles may actually be the root cause of this endless rehashing of grievances.

'FESTIVUS'

The Holiday for the rest of us.

I find your belief system fascinating.

Reminds me of an old joke I heard...

A jewish guy gets stranded on a deserted desert island. Ten years later, a landing party discovers his little settlement, and finds that he has built not one but two synagogues.

"Why did you build two synagogues?," they asked.

The old guy replies, "That one I attend, and that one I would never set foot in!"
