Hebrish is my second language

This is J.J. - short for Jonathan Gottleib (don't know what the second 'J' stands for). J.J. deserves his own blog post for the simple fact that he makes me laugh, a lot! J.J. is one of my colleagues at the University and seems to be involved in a multitude of projects. On any given day you may find him gluing together 4,000 year old pottery, trouble-shooting a new microscope camera, or building a large wooden lobster trap in his wood shop. 

Although J.J. and his family made Aliyah many years ago from the U.S., this Detroit-born Jewish "homie" is one funny dude. He speaks "Hebrish" fluently and has an abundance of movie and t.v. quotes on demand. 

We visited J.J. on Purim in the artist community of Ein Hod (that's the story you have to ask us about...). Let's just say he makes one hell of a martini!!
