This was the toughest word prompt to do. This is going to get a little meta here. Not only do I not drink schnapps very often; it’s not really a word that’s in my vocabulary. It feels like one of those references that seems to be losing its meaningl like “tape my show” or why the save icon is a floppy disk even though anyone under 25 years old doesn’t know what a floppy disk is.

I found out it was German, which checks out, considering I thought it was Yiddish and only something Jewish people drank during the haftarah with kichel and herring. They should probably put a warning on the label that says, “Drinking this may cause you to be more Jewish.”

Eli Lebowicz is a standup comedian who recently had open-heart surgery, despite being in his mid-thirties. While he can’t drive for the next few weeks, he feels like a teen who needs a ride to the movies and a 75-year-old who exercises by walking around the mall. He is grateful to the Jewish community for their well wishes, check-ins, recommendations of better cardiologists, and general life advice. You can give him mussar at [email protected].
