You know my grandmother came from Berezhany in Ukraine and if she were you, she would have told that man "Ide potsilui psa pid feest". She used to tell me that when I got on her nerves and than I used to stand there sarcastically with my mouth wide open until she threw something at me.

Alex,

I do have his address� are you implying that we egg it??? biggrin

This man is also very very very Anti-Jewish and I was thinking that another factor for his behavior is that my dad is Jewish and I was raised in a Eastern Christian/Jewish home. I even went to a Jewish elementary school so I learned to read and write, etc.

Next time the priet intones "Approach with faith and the Awe of God," instead of responding "Blahosloven khto yde.." I should sing "Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai!"

But I don't feel like starting a riot�� well, at least not yet muahahahhaha :p

MWAHAHAHAHA indeed!

UC, if he does indeed consider you "Jewish," it's a further statement of ignorance. Judaism is transmitted matrilineally.

Cheers,

Dear UC,

You should tell him that the first Ukrainian Saint EVER was "St Luke the Jewish" (Svyatey Luka Zhydyaty), a Jewish convert, who was with ST Volodymyr during the Baptism of Kyivan Rus'.

Some of the greatest defenders of Ukrainian statehood were Jews such as the French Jewish journalist Alain des Roches who, at one time, said that, on a per capita basis, Ukraine had the FEWEST anti-Semites than any European country in Europe.

So many Ukrainians helped Jews during the War. In my little family alone, my father, grandfather, uncles, and aunt risked their lives to help Jews escape.

My grandfather hid his Jewish friend, Ravlik, in his basement until the SS began a house-to-house search.

Ravlik, that blessed man and martyr, knew that if he were caught at grandfather's home, my grandparents would share his fate.

He made a run for it early and the SS finally caught him and shot him by the town's river. Ravlik fell headlong into the water, dead, as blood flowed from his mouth along with the flowing water.

And there is a whole section on the website of Yad Veshem dedicated specifically to Ukrainians who saved Jews.

The man giving you grief is a total disgrace.

If I have the opportunity to meet you, please do introduce me to him.

My Ukrainian is very good.

And I can use it to excellent effect when I want to.

And I want to, especially in his case.

Dear Lauro,

What a small world!

My father's family came from Berezhany too!

He and his brothers' photos are contained in the book "Berezhanshchyna."

Perhaps we are distantly related? smile

We already share a common concern about Basilians!

Uh oh. Alex is asking for addresses.

So, how does one say "pipe bomb" in Ukrainian?

Blessings!

PS: Our Lord warned us about the "poor" being with us always; what He did not mention was the crazies. The poor we can help with food, shelter, clothing, etc. The crazies, well - that's another story.

Dear UC,

So you are "Luke the Jewish" too? smile smile

He should be your patronal saint then!

God bless and don't let the crazies bother you, as Dr John said.

We can always count on Dr John not to say anything controversial that might upset us! smile

In Ukrainian, it would be "z kapustoju". "Z kapustom" is northern Lemko dialect of Rusyn. smile
