This Could Be Our Skyline, In a Couple of Decades
In honor of Jewish Christmas -- which is today, right? or ended yesterday? or maybe in a couple of weeks? who's to say?! -- we feel pressed to remind you that February 2, 2009, is Official Hug a Jew Day.
This could be the single most awesome holiday ever invented. And the rules are so simple:
- Every Jew that you see you must address with a hug
- This is an event for everybody around the world, Jews and non-Jews to hug Jews
- Some religious Jewish people, it seems, can not touch the other sex, so be careful: If you have the slightest doubt, you may want to ask them before you hug them
- Jew, in this event, "includes any sect or part of Jewishness" (i.e., half, quarter, traditional, conservative, reform, orthodox, chareide, chabad, executive producer, agent, general practitioner -- ALL JEWS INCLUDED)
So start chipping away at your goy iciness, and get ready to wrap you arms around the warmest, fuzziest, cuddliest Jew you know. Hell, even George W. Bush is getting in on the action.

[updates iCal]OK!
are hugs by gentiles allowed in the torah?
Bear in mind that many of us (yehudim) don't want to be touched. Keep your arms to yourself. If you really want to do something to benefit Jewish people, donate to the Falashmura settlement fund, which helps Ethiopian Jews get their feet firmly on the ground & assists with language classes, housing & household expenses.
I hope puxatawney (sp?) phil isn't Jewish otherwise this could turn into a culture clash for the ages.
Meh. I'm calling in Jewish.
Um, thanks, but don't touch me.
But I will accept gifts.
check your wallets when the hug is over
I hug the same Jewish guy everyday. I want more.
If you hug a Jew, he'll fart Hannukah gelt. I swear, it's true!
Will Ed Jew be in the clink that day?
