I can personally vouch for Bodek's forward-thinking...ness (wow, that's a terrible word). Of the truly religious Jews I know, he's both one of the most genuine, and one of the most worldly. A man who runs the New York marathon in tzitzit is truly one to be reckoned with. More of his Onion-like Jew humor can be found at his website, www.theknish.com. /end plug

 Joey, I don't know what the correct spelling of ufruf (offroof? aueieuxffrough?) is, but you should definitely check it out. You can't miss an opportunity to pelt the bima - and often, the rabbi - with rock candy. Sure, celebration of the groom, blah blah blah. You get to throw candy! In shul! At the Man!
