The Abstinence Song, or Why Chrisitanity is a Religion, and Judaism is a Culture

I've had this in my "to-blog" queue for a while, and figured that this week would be an appropriate time to let it out. I give you: The Abstinence Song.

I'm forwarding this on to the folks at the OU (v'hamvin yavin).

This video comes from a site called GodTube, which is basically YouTube for Christians; it's full of videos all focused on Christianity, with titles like "The Reality of Hell" and "Little Girl and Psalm 23."

On a whim, I typed in JewTube.com, where the top videos are Borat and Lewis Black. Oy vey!

Actually, Judaism is a conversation. That was the theme of my drasha the first day of Rosh Hashanah. The text should be up at www.bethjacobnorwich.org pretty soon.

Catchy little niggun - looks like this fellow is set to be the very next Reverend Carlebethoveen.

Thanks for the laugh.

Keep it in your pants, Greg.

Charles: I didn't mean it definitionally; I guess I was trying to show how in America, Judaism is more of a culturally, less of a religious, thing; people associate it with comedy, Hollywood, bagels, etc., wheras Christianity, probably for some very obvious reasons, is more "serious" in how it is publicly presented.

Look forward to reading your drashos.
