Jewish Therapy for Non-Jews and their Friends
"...and on the seventh day God rested"
The Sabbath is a weekly ritual conducted in millions of Jewish households each Friday evening to usher in the commanded day of rest. The Sabbath is a time when Jews gather with their loves ones, to rest, celebrate the weeks achievements and take time for spiritual reflection.
It’s about opening and exclusiveness. It’s ritualized and repetitive. There is nothing that happens without a reason. One is let into a secret. Fascination for the Shabbat situation touches even the unconscious.
Dress as your favorite over-Jewish character. Long fake fingernails, cheap jewelry, too much make-up.
Have strong opinions, have a fight, allow yourself to be too much, be inappropriate – in a Jewish way!!!
Famous examples include Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, Karl Marx, George Castanza, Mother and Father Castanza, a Chassidic or dancing Jew, an ultra-intellectual sadistic or masochistic Jew, a doctor or lawyer, psycho-analyst, philosopher even and/or lesbian feminist—a Marrano Jew, a Christian-Jew, a Muslin-Jew, a half-Jew, a non-Jew. Franz Kafka. Avital Ronell. Ludwig Wittgenstein. Martin Heidegger. Why not?
Come on get triggered! You don’t have to be Jewish. Be ambivalent and fascinated, belonging and not belonging.
We will serve cheap sweet wine in plastic cups and challah.
