LOL Funny
Excellent and hilarious. As for Mr. Levine's concerns - I think he needs to lighten up a little. Rabbi Salomon is not trying to disparage but merely expand the horizons of so many who habitually fail to see the wonderful tools available that can enrich our Jewishl lives.

Maxwell House Deserves Better
It just was not right to disparage the Maxwell House brand or General Foods after, was Rabbi Salomon correctly put it, the company has over the years distributed 40,000,000 Haggadahs to the Jewish community. The company certainly deserves at least a "thank you" for doing this even if it was a good advertising vehicle. I will continue to use the maxwell House books and I find that there is no reason not to!

Yaakov Salomon is the heavenly bloggist...
Simply put: your best brew, ever! And, so spoiled have we become, that we fully expect a fresh, even better pot percolating by next week.
