Albeit a tad late, Jewz finally get the LOL treatment, sans cheesburgers. Bubbe had enough trouble trying to play the Sarah Silverman video. Comprehending Internetspeak might just send her straight to the nursing home.
Two Jewish newspapers photoshopped the female ministers out of Israel's new cabinet photo. It's considered a violation of modesty to publish pictures of women by ultra-orthodox Jews, so this is one way to deal with it.

She rose from The O.C.'s ashes like the tough little starlet she is, and has showed no signs of stopping (being hot, that is). Guys just can't seem to get enough of Rachel Bilson, even if they're not quite sure where to find her.
Business Buzz The SEC has a special name for getting screwed with your pants on by someone you trust: affinity fraud! The Madoff scandal is a textbook example of affinity fraud, as Bernie exploited a huge number of religious ties in order to build his giant Ponzi scheme. Madoff scammed the Jewish community big-time, and many Jewish charities and universities suffered big losses as a result. The good news is that the Torah reserves “a special circle in Hell” for people who steal from charities. I assume most religious texts do, actually, so that's probably a lesson for future affinity fraudsters.
Tech Buzz The site - a parody of online religion giant Beliefnet - is a clever marketing tool for Bill Maher’s documentary Religulous. The truly religious, of course, don’t need the Internet to stay true to their beliefs - they’re dialed-in to the big guy upstairs 24/7, thank you very much.
Sarah Silverman beseeches Jewish grandchildren to visit their grandparents in Florida and tell them to vote for Barack Obama. The Great Schelp hopes to prevent Florida from repeating the mistakes of 2000.
Culture Buzz Not all rabbis agree, but more and more Jews are shrugging off the taboos around tattoos. The Torah may or may not prohibit tattoos, but the urban myth about not being able to be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you’re tattooed is just that. Like most things, there’s a growing community online of Jews who tattoo.
Style Buzz So much for nuns and Mexican ladies having all the fun! One jewelry designer is making the Catholic prayer beads available to all the nice Jewish girls and boys. Who would’ve thought a simple accessory might finally bring an end to the war that brews in Williamsburg?
Food Buzz The Jewish community is torn over whether a kosher cheeseburger being served at a NYC restaurant should be considered sacrilegious. We can think of more sacrilegious ways to consume cheeseburgers, both gastronomically and spiritually. (See cheeseburger in a can and the McDonald’s cheeseburger pizza.)
