Our New ‘Toon Mayor: Separated at Birth

Toronto has a new mayor… who looks EXACTLY, completely, like the ultra-obese human descendents in the kinda surreal Disney/Pixar kiddie sci-fi dysto-pic wall-e.

Here’s Captain McCrea, in charge of the ship ferrying the remnant of humanity to safety… alongside soon-to-be-celebrated Mayor Rob Ford.

What a buffoon this guy is – and, sadly, I don’t mean the animated one on the left.

Googling pictures of Rob Ford,  the first one that came up was attached to an article from 2008 announcing that he’d been “cleared of domestic abuse charges.”  Well, yay!  That’s a leadership quality I look for in a mayor!

Oh, wait, here’s another:  a 10-year-old Florida DUI charge under his belt.  His rebuttal:  “We've all made mistakes.”  Here’s his mugshot – maybe they should save money at City Hall and just this on the official City of Toronto Mayor’s page whenever the heck it is that he takes office.

Is he good for the Jews?  The consensus is yes.  I really couldn’t care less.

    That was the wrong rebuttal for the DUI charges. He *should* have pointed out that he got out of being charged with pot posession... in Florida. Don't you need a superpower to do that?

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused o...
