DOWNEY –
Bob Rafferty wanted to show his girlfriend, Naomi Schwartz, that he respected her religion, Judaism, and so he went out did something really special for her. Rafferty, a Catholic, was told by a workmate, that he thought was Jewish, that Yom Kippur is the day you get circumcised and so that is what he did.
“Jewish holidays are often quite confusing for both Jews and Gentiles,” said Rabbi Johnson of the South Downey Rabbinical Council. “We had a guy fast during Hannukah two years ago and he almost died. We probably need to do some more outreach…or maybe write some more things in English…even I get confused sometimes with all this Hebrew. ”
While Rafferty hoped that his new look would be a hit with Naomi, turns out his fleshy sacrifice did not go over so well. “It looks weird now,” bemoaned the ever fickle Schwartz. “We used to play hide and seek with it…now it’s out all the time…it’s kind of boring.”
Rafferty, wanting to please his Naomi yet again, now wants to get re-uncircumcised, but that’s not going to be easy: the Mohel who did the deed already threw the flesh out. “I am trying to find it, but I did five adult bris services on Friday…they kind of all look the same…and I also cleaned a chicken.”
