Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Shofar (but not so good)
Monday, January 07, 2008
Rejected again. This time by the Temple Sinai in South Burlington. I had an interview Monday to be their administrative assistant. I guess I screwed it up like I always do. Tell me if this qualifies as a Larry David moment:
I'm sitting there talking to the rabbi- one thing leads to another and I end up mentioning that my father was in a Nazi concentration camp in World War II. "The Nazis were evil people." said the rabbi. After a thoughtful pause I responded "...Well, they didn't have the right idea."
Poopsie thinks I blew it right there. "You're talking to a RABBI!" She said later, exasperated. "You're supposed to say "Yes! They were totally evil." You're supposed to talk about how evil they were!"
But I just can't do that. I'm with Anne Frank in believing that deep down people are really good. Yes, their deeds were evil. Yes, their ideas were evil. But to say a person himself is evil is ultimately to write off his soul forever, and I don't think that's the right thing. Things are not so simple. Most Nazi's were normal Germans swept up in a horrible circumstance. I'm sure that under similar pressures, a LOT of Americans would behave like the "good Germans," but through the good fortune of being born in a different time and place, they will never be considered evil by anyone. Also, there was definitely a German soldier or two that slipped my dad food when he was their prisoner, and later when he was their slave. They kept him alive when they could have killed him. I don't think it's ever as simple as "they were evil."
Anyway, the guy at the temp agency that sent me there said they hired someone "with previous synagogue experience." So I'm probably just projecting the reasons for my failure to get hired. But shit. If an Armenian son of a Holocaust survivor with two college degrees and lots of clerical experience can't get hired as an temporary administrative assistant at a synagogue for $10/hr, then I pray Rita Markley saves a cot for me and my family in the homeless shelter. Unemployment benefits only last six months and I'm three months into it.
You should do a bit of digging on the Ward Churchill story. Or, at least on the "little Eichmanns" comment. The proverbial straw on the back of a very questionable camel, but an interesting comment nonetheless.
Echoes your point: not all WWII-era Germans shared Hitler's et al's vision of the world. However, Churchill's point about comparing 2001's Americans to 1940's Germans is that despite the fact the so many Germans didn't want Jews dead nor do Americans really want to kill Muslims (or whatever crap excuse is used), not enough good people did enough good things to stop bad things from happening. And more specifically, being a "good American" has come to be equated with buying SUVs, consuming gross amounts of everything, etc. The fallout of that has come a the expense of those we don't see nor think about (people in developing nations, for instance). You can't possibly believe that giant jars of pickles and cheap jeans available at Walmart somehow benefit those without such "luxuries." Yes, those are broad strokes, but that's the kind of thing Churchill was referencing.
Hey man, sorry about the shootdown. It will pick up. about the remark, I would say it probably had a factor. everything in every interview has a factor.
except for fast food. they take illegal immigrant corpses.
Anyway. Even if it did or didnt, it wasnt the right job for you at the right time. and thats what its about.
Besides... I cant see you slaving clerical for too long any way. not yer style.
BTW UI goes until benes are out. admin contact every 3 months. but its cake. I know of which I speak.
Hi Haik, I really enjoyed this post and your shofar pun. It reminds me of a situation, my first Rosh Hashanah, when Josh told me in a synogogue really excitedly, Oh, they're going to blow the chauffeur. I recoiled in horror. Only later to learn that I misheard.
It would have been interesting if you had engaged the good Rabbi in more of a conversation about this.
Yeah, well...Shoulda coulda woulda. He went on to tell me some rabbis lost their jobs because they didn't want to call 1915 a genocide due to Israel's strategic relationship with Turkey.
I should have said the Ottomans were "evil people" just to see if he'd agree.
I'd say I'm neither schlemiel or schlimazel in this story. But in writing this post, I've become a schmendrick. Oy vey.
