Fabrangen thanks DCist for top billing, but there is a small misperception. The dinner at Bertucci's is not just for leadership, but for everyone. Please feel free to join us Clare Feinson Logistics Coordinator

I found out recently that I am Jewish. Where is my wand!!! Damnit, I want a broom that I can fly on and a cloak that makes me invisible.

Most Mexican Jews are descendants of Conversos (converts during the Inquisition), most of whom have no idea that they come from Jewish blood. Though some have done lineage traces and found out about their heritage. It's sort of like Harry Potter finding out he's a wizard, but with matzah balls and guacamole.

What do you think Mexican Jews eat? It sure isn't pastrami on rye, little fella.

And if you worship a porcelain deity, Nando's Extra Hot Peri-Peri sauce ensures a memorable day of one on one atonement.

For most Jews, this time of year is about as Jewish as anyone gets. Is it too much to ask for Jewish cuisine instead of, you know, Mexican Food? Unfortunately, I live in Virginia which seems to be bereft of any Jewish deli's, kosher groceries, or Bubbe's that would make you a nice kugel. In fact, I suggest an airlift that would transport Jewish Grandmother's over the Potomac from Bethesda and Rockville to needy Jews in Arlington and Falls Church in need of a good brisket.
