Go to a few of the places he’s been and win a prize: A Pee-Wee badge.  

According to Mashable, Pee-Wee seems to be painting the town red; checking in at Jewcy places like Katz’s Deli, and Jacob the Jewler (what’s more Jewish than a jewler to the stars?), and showing the world a new way to market through social media.

All across the country, people are taking advantage of the holiday, and finding new and creative ways of expressing themselves.  First there was Sukkot City in New York; which brought together designers from all different walks of life, cultures, and religions; now the folks at the JCC of San Francisco have unveiled "Gimme Shelter: The Sonic Sukkah Experience".

What’s the next inovation for the holiday?  Sukkah iPhone apps, MoMA Sukkah instillation?   It would seem the sky (or the Sukkah ceiling) is the limit.

You might want to consider skipping the Ukrainian honey-pepper vodka; at least according to the A.V. Club taste test: “This stuff tastes like it was dragged through a Ukrainian forest by a traveling circus, only to be hand-filtered by my Ukrainian landlord, Eugene.”

That sounds truly horrible, but do people from Ukraine even drink that stuff? I don’t recall seeing it in the homes of any of my Kiev-born friends, who, thankfully, all have gotten jobs working on/around computers all day, so they were available to lend me a few thoughts on the matter.

One said that it was something that their American friends bought them presuming that it was something of a luxury [it retails at around fifteen dollars a bottle], while another told me that the first time vodka ever made him vomit, it was from drinking the golden honey-pepper kind.  The last one told me his philosophy that “anything that looks like painful piss will probably cause you to have painful piss.”

So there you have it: never, under any circumstances, drink a bottle of honey-pepper vodka.  It will probably burn when you pee it out.

The film, !Women Art Revolution, "chronicles the history of feminist art in the late 20th Century and early 21st Century," and the show, "Portlandia," is a spin-off of the hilarious internet series, "Thunderant".

While some of the obvious names and titles are on the list (Elie Wiesel, Maus,  Harold S. Kushner), it would seem that Jews are still keen on old favorites (Alfred Kazin), but open to checking out the newbies (Jonathan Safran Foer, Joshua Braff).

So what does this list say about Jewish reading tastes?  Eclectic?  Open to new things?  Still stuck on literature about the holocaust?  Or really nothing at all?

Dear Cafe Press, I am a writer for the website Jewcy.com, and was looking over your site and was unable to find a button on your site to enable me to browse the profiles of other women who are interested in women. I was wondering if this was a bug in your system, and when would it be fixed?  Thank you for your time, Emma Rothschild

50-year-old Michoel Streicher, a singer who calls himself "The Michael Jackson of Jewish music" was sentenced yesterday to a year in jail for swindling a woman out of $36,000 he said he would use to buy a torah.

Maybe aligning himself with a Jew hating popstar was his first mistake.  Maybe he should have tried the Gaga route?

I’m just going to come right out and say it: Jena Friedman is freaking hilarious.  She’s that rare blend of brilliant observationalist, and unassumingly confrontational.  The former Chicago resident made the move to New York a few years ago, and has quickly made a name for herself as one of the cities funniest women.

Jena Steinbach spent way too much time reading restaurant reviews and deciding where she wanted to eat next.  The only logical option was to start The Young and Hungry.

While the blog isn’t only about food (it’s a fantastic music site as well), Jena and Co. definitely realize where their strengths lie, and the site has built up a following among foodies in the know all over New York.
