HUMORIST
YO JORDO
© 2004 Jordan Margolis
My husband and I saw your out-of-this-world Purim Play and we think JRC is the place to be. We've heard that inter-married couples are welcome but you see my husband just isn't Jewish,- he isn't even human. He's an alien. So far we've avoided the Men in Black, no not the movie actors, the Lubbavitches, who chase him mercilessly. (You can imagine the Mitzvah potential to put several pair of Tefillin on a single convert!) Can you help us?

Dear Juanita:
Not to worry. JRC is proud of our reputation as an inclusive congregation. Tradition supports our policy. The Passover Haggadah invites "all who are needy" so why not "all who are ET"? Your membership could expand "Jewish geography" beyond our galaxy. You could even start an extra terrestrial Havurah.
However, we may need to form a "Task Force for Really, Really Mixed Marriages", since it sounds like your husband could carry the JRC Chupah poles all by himself. But be assured that we won't pressure him to convert, especially if it requires multiple circumcisions. Ouch.
JRC - ya,
Jordan L. Margolis Membership
