Passions

[Lori M Simon <lorelecs...>]

Hi all,

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I sometimes watch the soap opera
Passions.  I think it's hilarious.  The reason I'm baring my secrets is
that there have been a couple of incidents that have bothered me.  Two
Haloweens ago, the witch's live doll (don't ask) wore a "rabbi" outfit,
complete with tallis.  I wrote them to complain and never heard back.  In
the last few days as background music, again for the witch who hates
xmas, were played carols, but "twisted", in minor keys, and with what is
thought of as klezmer instrumentation and style, complete with clarinet
kretshes and all.  This seems to be a connection between xmas-hating
witches and Judaism.  This amid a quasi-religious celebration of the day
within the context of the plot line.  Am I being too sensitive?
