The Judaicized version of everyone's favorite game!
Call me old-fashioned but, if you’re going to bill something as “the game of UNSPEAKABLE Jewish fun” [emphasis theirs], you should at least mention pork-loving, or tushy-schtupping. Not that I blame Seth Burstein and Ian Framson – a couppla swell kids from Babson University, and the makers of “Taboo: Jewish Edition” – for keeping things family-friendly with their Judaicised take on everybody’s favorite party game; after all, Ian’s Bubbie and Seth’s brother/Rabbi helped come up with the clues (Bubbies and Rabbis being known for their aversion to both pork-loving and tushy-schtupping).
That said, I’m happy to report the game is a pleasure (especially after a few gimlets) and a steal at twice the price. Don’t believe me? Check out www.taboojewishedition.com and start thinking of ways to say “nose job” without actually saying “nose job” (Hint: “That thing cousin Shayna got for her 16th birthday” is a pretty safe bet).
Is it taboo to say Arafat was gay in Ramallah’s only sauna..

According to the biography “Open Up and Bleed,” Iggy’s dad, James Newell Osterberg, Sr., was of Irish/English descent and was adopted by two Jewish spinster sisters named Osterberg, and Jim Sr. took their surname. Does that make Iggy Jewish. I don’t know if he was raised Jewish. His mother was Danish and not a Jew. And not all Osterbergs are Jewish; The Osterberg side of my family is Swedish and Christian. Although, as a gentile who grew up in a Jewish neighborhood, I used to get out of school on Jewish holidays by faking it.
