New review of Talk Dirty Yiddish
A short review of Talk Dirty Yiddish in a blog. She wrote: “Written clearly and with plenty of very useful explanation, Talk Dirty: Yiddish was one of the most educational and truly beguiling gag gifts I’ve ever received and I would definitely recommend it to anyone wishing to learn about their roots or merely to swear in public and not get reprimanded.”

Another Guest Blog Entry
Another guest blog entry, this one on Pesach, including parve Kosher-for-Pesach chocolate dessert recipes, on Janet Randolph’s blog Dying for Chocolate, at: http://dyingforchocolate.blogspot.com/2010/03/rabbi-ilene-schneider-guest-blogs.html
MY THANKS . . .
. . . to whoever bought Chanukah Guilt from Amazon two nights ago. Within a period of four hours, my rating went from 1.1 million (yuck) to 100,000.
Don’t think I check Amazon (or titlez.com) every few hours. Usually it’s every few days. Or weeks, depending on how depressing the rating is. I happened to have checked around 8:00 PM, and my husband happened to have checked around midnight. (I don’t know how often he checks – he only tells me when the ratings have improved.)
Does anyone have any idea of how those ratings are calculated? I’m guessing that one person bought a book during an hour when no one else in the world ordered any other book. Unless the ratings are determined by a dice toss. Either explanation is equally plausible.
HERE IT IS . . .
