"Everything means everything": Lapides liveComedian Beth Lapides, who has written about yoga and guest-blogged for Jewcy in the past, has a new piece about the Holiday of No Bread called "Passover and Over." Being highly associative and from LA, she likes Passover because of the symbolism and potential for bondage puns. Check out the clip, below, and then listen to the whole thing at Audible.com.

She can ring our bell: Beth LapidesWhy do we so adore Beth Lapides? Because she is the most Jewish New-Age Buddhist we’ve ever met. Because she’s a hilarious performance artist who once played a hilarious-but-only-by-accident performance artist on Sex in the City. Because her essay "The Ish Factor" holds the Jewcy record for positive comments (nobody shouting about intermarriage or Barbra Streisand) and her haikus range from this:

I like my car so
much I want to go outside
and fuck it right now

to this:

Analyzing my
want, I found it was wanting.
But not wanting me.

Usually she writes and teaches comedy, but this week she’s bringing a little of her Ish to Faithhacker. Start here and stay tuned for new posts all week.

Stand-Up Comedian Beth Lapides put Al Brooks to shame looking for Jewish comedy in a Muslim World. After you read the piece, go here to listen to Lapides's unorthodox (and we mean that in a strictly secular way) shtick If you never quite got the metaphysical connection between yoga and Judaism, like myself, it's worth at least a hit or downward dog or whatever.
