[HANASHIR:8364] Re: Dr. Seuss

[shirona <shirona...>]

I'll start this posting with a disclaimer - I do not wish to offend
anyone...this is just my opinion -

but - - - "Dr. Seuss Shabbat"???  How far is that from  "Mick Mouse
Shabbat"?  I'm just wondering to what lengths ( or depths... ) are we
willing to go, in our desperation to "sell" Shabbat to our children.

Does Shabbat need help from Dr. Seuss?  If so, we are in big, major trouble.
