Do you have a quick JewBarrassment story?

"I'm always confusing Sukkot with Simchat Torah and Purim and ... all of them really... after all the years of Sunday school? So embarrassing."

  • I absolutely refuse to share my actual age and weight.
  • I can cook a mean Key Lime pie.
  • The last time I forgot sunscreen was this morning.
  • My favorite TV show ever is obviously, "I Dream of Jeanie."
  • My dog/cat is great at 1 thing and 1 thing only.It's chewing books.
  • Bartender! Please make me a Tequila Gimlet.
  • If "Fame," (I do wanna live forever) is playing, I'll be on the dance floor.
  • Best musical? Cabaret? Fiddler? Evita? Hard to pick.
