It's a shame you can't "get" <a href="http://chaptzem.blogspot.com/2007/11/maybe-he-should-have-spent-extra-buck.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, actually. The guy's initials spell out a well-known Yiddish word that's not safe for Likelihood of Success. You’re quite welcome. It’s a shame you can’t “get” this one, actually.

Anyway, thanks for the info. I get it now. I think I have mentioned this before, but I don’t know much about the Jewish faith other than the basic higher level beliefs, things I picked up in some comparative religion classes I took decades ago. When it comes to more specific things like traditions, rituals, or differences in beliefs of various sects, I am embarrassingly ignorant. So I appreciate it when you take the time to explain things like this. Maybe I should have said “artistically”….

It's a picture of what I see every morning when I attend synagogue -- a bag, with my name written on it in Hebrew, containing my phylacteries and my <i>tallis</i>, and a prayer book also kept in that bag. I place them down on the table and remove the prayer book, put on the <i>tallis</i> and then the phylacteries and say the morning prayers. Every day, no matter what. (Well, no phylacteries on the Sabbath.) Technically, I think it’s a brilliant photo.

In all seriousness (well, 60 to 70% seriousness), the significance of the photo escapes me. Technically, it’s a pretty crappy photo (which I’m sure you understand). So I assume the text is the real message. Could you interpret? So my choice is between g-d and a British homosexual?
