He'Brew Rejewvenator Year of the Grape

I love when you open a door or turn a corner and realize there is an entire world that you’d never imagined existed, that’s in
fact overflowing with people, schemes, and action. 2010 Sacred Species #3 seemed so obvious—Grapes. Noah’s first vineyard
debacle (Genesis 9:20) to Dionysus, mythical Bacchus to Bar Mitzvah bad boys, Mogen David and Manischewitz. Appropriately
Epic shtick. How many cups of Concord in childhood and many times have I heard: “But Jews don’t drink beer!” This year we
came across the raging debates, alternative science, internet controversy and tribal rivalry of World Records relating to …
Grapes. Speed catching (67 in one minute, 1189 in 30 minutes!); Solo throw, run, catch (40 ft!!); Longest distance (354’4”,
shot from a water balloon launcher!!!); Greatest Height record (788 ft skyscraper!!!!) For this third incarnation of
Rejewvenator I’m simply letting the mythological and pop cultural shtick rest and slurping together with all of you in a toast to
this bizarre and delicious freakshow that we call Life…..L’Chaim! --Jeremy Cowan, proprietor
