Party like it's 5759!

Get your Yom Kippur Piñatas here! Why atone for your sins in shul when you can just whack the heck out of a carboard horsey? If you'd like to carry the south-of-the-border theme through, you can play music by these guys. Or kick it old-shul with this classic. You could just gather for a traditional game of swing the chicken, but maybe not for a kids' party.

Maybe them jews should just wash their hands.

Ok I know the US has some of the more wacky Jewish sects. But a Yom Kippur Pinata? Is there something I'm missing here?

Have no fear, PenDevil. It's just a party-supply retailer with an overzealous marketing strategy. They sell Martin Luther King Jr. Day piñatas, too. (Unfortunately, the vehicle-shaped piñata pictured appears to be a dump truck. It might actually be fun to whack the hell out of a segregated bus.)

Old shul. Funny.

Something for the crypto-Jews in Mexico, perhaps?

For more Semitic Salsa fun check out Roberto Rodriguez.

wouldn't it have to be empty inside to be a real Yom Kippur piñata? : >

Enough! The time has come to burn down embassies!

You laugh Krrrlson but I'm sure that there is a guy in Tel Aviv right now who is hammering out an angry letter to the editor where he suggests just that.

Don't worry: there'll be a lawsuit from the ADL soon enough.

Right, because Jews can't laugh at their religion. No sense of humor in those people.

Sorry, I forgot all Jews are of one mind on everything that pertains to them. I'm sure nobody will get offended by what someone else laughs off.

Yom Kippur piñatas? That is just freaking surreal. Are you sure Borat didn't come up with this?

I do not want to know what they try to sell on Sukkoth. Pavillions? Etrog-flavoured gum?

Yeah... what the fuck are those Jews thinking... using the legal system when they should be burning embassies!
