Mr. Schmidt: I recall a time when my garage was broken into, Mr. Speaker. They stole my truck, and more importantly, more expensively, they stole the accordion that I was storing in that truck. Determining the value of a truck is rather straightforward. There’s a well-established process for assessing what the value is. Now, I could tell you that the value of that truck that was stolen was probably about $60 because it had a full tank of gas, but determining the value of that accordion was not a simple matter, because there isn’t a well-established process for determining the replacement value of an accordion. The insurance company wanted me to get a certified accordion assessor to evaluate the value of this accordion. Let me tell you that no such thing exists, at least not in Canada. I couldn’t find one. I had to go back and forth for months with this insurance company to determine a fair value of the accordion. It took way too long to settle that process, and we didn’t come to a resolution that was agreeable to me. I’m sure it was agreeable to the insurance company because they sure didn’t have to pay out the amount of money that I felt that I was entitled to.

…

The Speaker: Perhaps I might recommend to the hon. member that he reach out to former member Richard Starke for some advice on the price of accordions. I know he was very passionate about that.

The reason I've been taught is the Jewish Temple being destroyed. It's like that Temple was destroyed, but the couple now has an obligation to create a spritual one in their home.

The explanation to balance the joy of the wedding, and add seriousness to the occasion I think is based on that. (There's a story in talmud where a rabbi saw the other rabbis there were too excitable so he smashed a really fancy cup and they shut up and chilled a bit.)

I can’t believe Into the Spiderverse casually made Peter Parker canonically Jewish. I feel valid in this chili’s tonight.

(anon bc I'm a nerd) but would you recommend any books? 😆 I'm trying to get back into reading and it would be greatly appreciated 💞 love your blog!
