Prominent Israeli rabbi: Jews marrying gentiles are helping the nazis

[Syt]

I drew the line at one dish that was, like, shreds of pork in gelatin - meat flavoured jello.  ]

Sounds like Schweinskopfsülze. Can't stand the stuff, I prefer my meat without jelly.

It's funny how you are also insinuating that I'm a racist/antisemite for posting this article. 

He is odd, no?

[crazy canuck]

Dont give odd people a bad name.

[DGuller]

Booo. I thought you were above dodging news story by insinuating something about the source.

Well, you know how those people are.

[Is there anything that Ukranians eat that *doesn't* have pork in it?  I drew the line at one dish that was, like, shreds of pork in gelatin - meat flavoured jello.  ]

Kholodets? 

[Barrister]

Well, I already did the very thing this Rabbi dude is complaining about - married a non-Jew. 

Well right that was the part that made you a Nazi.  But to be worse than Hitler you have to take it to the next level.

Just allowing him to eat Christmas dinner at his Ukranian grandparent's house ought to suffice.

Everything for Christmas dinner should be 100% pork-free.    It's the traditional twelve meatless dishes (though fish counts as 'not meat').

That's for religious or Ukranian Christmas. For regular old Canadian Christmas (on which they also have a feast, albeit a secular one) no special dishes appear to be required.

But that is the answer to your question - yes, there is one day a year when Ukrainians do not eat any pork.

Funny, it's exactly the same tradition in Poland. Is this an Orthodox or a Catholic tradition in Ukraine?

Believe it is both.

I had a Ukrainian girlfriend for awhile in university (her and her parents emigrated from Ukraine a few years earlier), they were Orthodox, and they did invite me over one year for the traditional dishes, but I think Catholics also do it.

My family doesn't do it, though we do have a few ukrainian dishes alongside the turkey and stuffing at Christmas.

It was on the first page of a Polish leftist (Israel-friendly) newspaper's website.

What is in a Polish newspaper isn't necessarily news just as what's inside a Polish head isn't necessarily a brain.

Tourtiere - Yeah, pork.
Ragout de Pate - Pork.
Turkey - Pork in stuffing.
Ham - Pork.


Yeah, pork is everywhere!

[Valmy]

Yeah, pork is everywhere!

Pigs supposedly produce meat the most efficiently and I hear they were by far the most common livestock back in the day for that reason.

Or maybe they just did it to show how Christian and not Jewish or Muslim they were.
