Something else for you Southern Jews.

The observant Jew has his own sense of values. Torah Judaism is his blueprint for this life, his target for existence.

Check out this test it is funny:

And then there is the advanced test:
http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest_advanced.html

I found that on a random search about the differences between Northern folk and Southern folk.  It is quite interesting how language is so regional.

I honestly thought that I would score pretty evenly between the two.  Boy was I wrong.

56% Dixie. Barely in Dixie

and I have not never been to no Dixie.. yeeehaw!

67% on the first test, but on the advanced test 49%

I blame tv for standardizing a lot of lingo between regions.

Yeah, I can't stand the fact that I can remember the cambells soup commercial jingle from when I was a kid.  What a waste of space and a distraction TV is.  The sages had no such distractions and look at what they were able to accomplish.  TV is a mind poisoner.

If someone is a really great mind, then I think they will rise to the top anyway. I do think a lot of what's on tv is total garbage but it's not bad in itself necessarily.

Sorry, I don't have a great mind.  I am just a regular dude and I need all of the help I can get.  I am not saying TV isn't useful or entertaining, but it certainly provides quite a bit of distraction.  I wish I could fill up that space with other stuff.  That is all.

I threw out my TV almost seven years ago.... It is possible to live without it...

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities

Here is a little tune to liven up your day.  Yes, there are Jews south of Round Rock TX.  That would be Austin to y'all.

 ;D



Do any of the other Jews this side of the mason dixon line have any songs about where they are from?
