What? Mashina was in Toronto? When and where was that?

Mashina don't have as big a following outside of Israel as Matisyahu does now. Though I'd have loved to see them live.]]>

<i>Or during any rock, hip-hop or reggae show?</i>

When "Mashina" (Israeli rock band) was in TO, there were plenty of the flags.]]>

Would've rather have heard more about the music than the religious upbringing of the audience. ]]>

I guess people who don't wear yarmulkes (oh, kippahs, right) just should never talk about them, ever, and when referring to them, simply gesture and let your eyes dart nervously until the person in question informs you which term they prefer or asks whether you are crazy. ]]>

What's wrong with the word yarmulke? It's pretty interchangeable with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kippah" target="_blank">kippah</a>. Or would you have preferred if I had used the word <i>skullcap</i>?

I used the synagogue comparison because I haven't seen so many skullcap-wearing youngsters at a cultural event since perhaps the <a href="http://www.ashkenazfestival.com/" target="_blank">Toronto Ashkenaz Festival</a>.

I think you misinterpreted what I meant about venturing south of Bloor St. I was referring to the large Jewish population that lives in the suburbs. And I was hinting that many of them don't venture downtown much. I mentioned the High Holidays because they occurred about three months ago. :)]]>

Yeah I'm also confused by the line about going south on Bloor for the Holydays. Shouldn't it be the opposite? Most synagogues are north of Bloor. This is poorly worded.]]>

Like clockwork.  Reviewers who cover Jewish cultural events always seem to feel they have to show how many Yiddish terms they know.  It's a bit, I don't know, patronizing.  (Also, archaic.  The only people who use "yarmulke" are old people and those who never wear them.)  Still, if you're going to get all in-the-know on us, then do tell.  Why the heck would the presence of many religious persons signify being in a synagogue -- you do realize such persons also spend time in other places, don't you?  And, of all things, why would concertgoers have last ventured south of Bloor on "The High Holidays"?]]>
