Jewish people invited soda, yes that’s true.First they invented Seltzer back in the late 1700’s hence Seltzer is a common Jewish Last Name.All Jews descended from working or connected with the seltzer production back in 1772 bear that last name.
Soda was merely invented by adding simple flavored syrup to Seltzer.Jews not being able to have milk as a beverage with Meat meals needed a drink to accompanying meals.When the programs started around 1870 Jews fled Russia and brought their Soda industry to America.before that time what was available in America was not really soda as we know it. Root Beer was an actual a brewed product like beer and had trace alcohol in it similar to A brand name product today “Malta Goya” Coca Cola had cocaine in it and 7 &up . correct me if I Am wrong but I heard that it had Lithium in it until 1940. Jews also lay claim to inventing and introducing Bagels..Bialy’s ( from the Russian town of Bialystok and Shilvawitz (liquor)made from apricots and if course the “Egg Cream”at one time mainstay beverage at every candy store and lunchonette in the metro N.Y.City area./end
Many Baby Boomers remember going to both sets of Grandparents houses and seeing a10 oz Yahrzeit candle glasses(they were nice glasses or as they refer to them today glass tumblers).They were strong ..solid and the only way that you could get them was to light a Yahrzeit (memorial) candle glass.
As the years went on the wax companies created a wax for a smaller glass that still was able to burn for 24 hours Every year the glasses get smaller .Today its a nothing more than a tin shot glass.Not even worth saving.Those around 70 years of age in that range will know what We mean. Wax companies bring back the old 10 0z. glass./end!

All the Rabbinical groups from Orthodox to Conservative , Re-constructionist and Reform as well as Karaite should have a world conformance on who is a Jew. Rabbinical Judaism says it one who is born to a Jewish mother This stems from Roman times in Ancient Judea where the off spring involving Roman soldiers as fathers whether the children should be considered Jewish
Karaite law says it one born to a Jewish father (Paternal) as ascendancy from a Kohane(priest).Until the end of WWII only for formal conversions were performed in case not involving marriage …a declaration as a Jew was enough. I don’t think this will pass muster among the Chasidic sects or todays Haredi but they are not the barometer as to what is and what is not Jewish. I got to believe that anyone who proclaims himself as Jewish or has Jewish ancestry can & should be accepted as Jews.
No Jewish Leader has said what Pamela Geller is saying , many people may all think it but no one is saying it ,well she is saying it she has the fighting instinct and character of a Rabbi Kahane .Is she good or bad for the Jewish cause? Whats your Take? We at the Lerman Report think she’s a breath of fresh air.
While we are witnessing a barrage of self Hating Jews holding placards up saying another Jew for disinvestment and champion “Palestinian Statehood we whole heartily welcome her as a proud voice for Jewish causes..Figurarly speaking in an advocating and championing way is the Only Who Can Fill Rabbi Kahane”s Shoes . Just what the Jewish people need at this time !
She is known primarily for her criticism of Islam and opposition to Muslimactivities …as an anti-Muslim bigot, opposed her presentation at a Long Island Synagogue. … This is when she first used the phrase “Mega Mosque at Ground Zero“. ….. “Anti-Muslimactivist barred from speaking at Jewish Federation headquarters”
Before the 1980’s when Bagel Nosh hit the N.Y scene Jewish people were basically the primary customers for Bagels. For the most part Bagel Bakeries were not open in the early morning . Jewish folks liked their Bagels at night with the exception of Sunday mornings. Jews would buy lox and cream cheese earlier in the day and when you had house guests in the evening someone would venture out to the Bagel Bakery & Pick up some Hot Bagels..Bagel Nosh changed that concept at least in my neck of the woods.
Bagels have now become the main morning staple with everyone overtaking Donuts.Every day the working public makes their daily Pilgrimage to their favorite Bagel Store to have with to buy one to enjoy with their morning cup of coffee.I was a bit surprised when I first saw Ham being offered on Bagels on the Bagel Nosh menu back in the day. As a matter if fact when I first saw that it actually shocked me.Today Bagels are now enjoyed Internationally and has overtaken Pizza as a the #1 Ethic treat World Wide..So when you grab you’re morning coffee with a bagel early in the day..thank Bagel Nosh!
Lets not have a 23rd Arab nation. what is needed is for the 22 Arab nation to Absorb to so called 70 year refugees.Any Arm twisting should be squarely on the 22 Arab countries shaded Green (which compromises a geographical area the size of the continental U.S). & not on Israel (shaded in Red ) to accept and absorb their fellow Brother Arabs. Also there are an addition 30 more non-Arab Muslim Nations that they can go to.
These same Arabs when they immigrate to the U.S.A are very unhappy applying themselves to the American standard and law while romanticizing those 52 Muslims nations.
The solution is two-fold…. First let them show some fervor & Insist that their Brother Arabs absorb them into any of 22 Arab nations or let them apply to go to any of the 30 additional Muslim Nations.Leave Israel alone to enjoy that tiny piece of real estate the size of New Jersey “Their Ancestral Homeland”.
There are no moderate Arab Nations.The Olympics tought us that .Remember when opposing Olympic players from “Moderates Arab Nations” downright refused to shake an Israeli Olympic Players Hand?.
Lets face facts the Arabs don’t want a Jewish state even if its only 1 inch wide and they would fight tooth & nail with every fiber of their strength to retake that one inch …Who’s fooling Who ?
Was the Nuclear test just completed by North Korea a Test in proxy for Iran ? This is what Bibi Netanauahu calls a wake up call for Israel and the west. Israel must take out Iran’s nuclear reactor soon very soon . The U.N will condemn them the Anti Semitic world will yell and kick for a week and then it will quiet down.
Mayor Ed Koch Chose to be buried in Trinity Church’s Cemetery , was he wrong as a Jew to do this? I say no , why? because Jewish Cemeteries. and Jewish Funeral homes have become a business, strictly a business of non Jewish ownership. Its no longer a religious rite to be in a Jewish funeral parlor but a vehicle to put money in the coffers of Cemetery. and funeral parlor ownership , plain and simple .
When my grandfather died we wanted an open casket , the funeral director at a Jewish funeral parlor which I shall omit the name for this story read us the riot act on Jewish law , When it came to sign the contact the agreement or funeral contact he signs his name Nunzio ——. My mother seeing that laced into him.well that’s the way it is no longer a Jewish Ritual to be interred at a Jewish Cemetery or funeral homes of non Jewish ownership and this applies to them all believe it or not Just ask any Jew who just used one an buried their loved one . A Jewish funeral home and Jewish Cemetery should and always was a Jewish functionary Like Jewish Clergy… no more Koch was not wrong in what he did .end
