I think the point Rachael is trying to make is that since she is having a bad day, she would like to wish one on everyone else as well. ...oh and Rachael, sometimes people who aren't even religious still celebrate Christmas, and they don't even mean anything about "the baby Jesus" when they wish you a good one. Maybe they are actually just trying to be nice to you in hopes that you won't go on another tirade. Thanks Rachael!.... you made my day

Since you wouldn't call black people 'niggers', you shouldn't call gentiles 'goyim'.

Saying there are no Jews in Boston is like saying there are no Catholics.

There are no Jews in Boston? Do all my Jewish friends commute from Worcester?

Yeah, Bostonist, no "Happy Hanukkah"? WTF? However, "janallen" does have a point. No Jews in Boston, Ms. Weiss? Where are you looking?

Maybe Rachel should try visiting Brookline to relieve her great disappointment.
