You must observe the festival of Shavu鈥檕t in honor of God, your God. The extent of your generosity in observing this festival should be in accordance with the abundance with which God, your God, will have blessed you. ~ Deuteronomy 16:10

There鈥檚 always a 91传媒 party
around the corner and
our parties have rules.

Passover鈥檚 coming. We鈥檙e already
thinking about it in August when
the last one is closer.

The pizza I ate tonight will not be
eaten when Passover comes around
again. That鈥檚 just one lesson in August

when so much pizza will be eaten
before the months pass and the
seven-day prohibition kicks in.

Shavuot is even further away
or closer if you go backwards.
We must rejoice on Shavuot.

I鈥檓 a fan of rejoicing, so this should
be an easy one to follow. Pizza is allowed,
as long as we remember we were slaves.

Sukkot is actually around the corner
and we must observe it. It鈥檚 the law.
More rejoicing 鈥� everyone鈥檚 invited.

Bring your fruit. Your best fruit.
It was all organic back then.
We can learn from that.

There鈥檚 always a 91传媒 party
around the corner. It wouldn鈥檛 be
a party without you.

You must come.
