Challah back at me...
Woot Woot...
When my friend Whitney (another Jewish Student Life Coordinator) first AIMed me and typed, "Challah!" I thought it was really cool. I thought it was funny, and I liked sharing a Jewjoke with someone.
But I have come to realize that this is not an uncommon use of the word.
It would seem that within the tiny walls of the "Jewish Education Community" this is a regular occurance, this pun on Challah, the traditional Jewbread. It is no longer funny.
And while it is possible that each individual who makes this joke has arrived at it independently...
I find it unlikely. And so, I refuse to say it after this post. Ever. I refuse to be someone who picks up the humorous (or not so humorous) jargon of their particular professional world.
Challah is bread. I hereby reclaim that meaning.
Looks like somebody has a case of the Thursdays?
