Cured with the Holy Spirit

That’s right, you’ve finally got a source for that hard-to-find Leather Judaica - for when you have to be as tough as you are holy.  I especially like the leather-accented seder plate, whereon we display the various symbols of the festival of SuedeOver.  The knurled tubes are, despite their suitability for any number of other purposes, actually megillah holders - megillahs being scroll-books that roll up on a stick (not on two sticks, like a torah).  This is the derivation of the phrase “the whole megillah” (like the whole enchilada, but heavier and less spicy) and “Megillah Gorilla” (my run-in with whom will be put aside for discussion at another time).  The bag is for wearing on your head as a symbol and sign to the almighty and the ages that you haven’t had good taste since your bris.  Speaking of which, where’s that wallet that, when you rub it, it turns into a briefcase? 

Moral: Leather may be good for a lot of things, but think twice about praying with it.  This is how people develop fetishes.

is it wrong for me to want their Esrog Box when I have no idea what it’s used for? And if I find THAT out, then can I have one?

Isn’t it a fruit?

you know, you really can find a. ny. thing. on the internet, can’t you?  what a strange thing.

yes it’s citrus!  one more way the internet can find you a leather pouch for your favorite fruit.  Religiously speaking, I mean.

That is just too funny...and now I really must hear about your run in with Megillah Gorilla!

hey!  i’ve been thinking about getting a new seder plate!!  maybe that nice leather one!
