Notes About The Poem

The fun can get lost in the translation...

Cook Me up a Jewish Dish

    Matzo ball soup, gefilte fish
      cook me up a Jewish dish
    Kneidels and kreplach, knishes too
      a bissele Chinese, egg yong foo… 

    Chopped liver and herring
      and if you’re so daring
    Grind the horseradish to bits
      serve mit red onion shpritz

    Nisht fargessen dessert
      rugelach and torts
    Roe v. Wade’s overturned ~
      it's kosher to abort

Gershon, I'm not really much on poached fish. But I hope you get your wish. Keep Rolling My Friend.

Good food kosher to abort definitely food for thought everyone has an opinion is it true in some Jewish communities they consider babies human only at birth not in the womb many blessings

You'd better talk to your rabbi about the last line. Enjoy a good meal.
