Dabka or Dapka is a detailed type of needlework from Rajasthan in India. It is usually done at the final stage of the production process to add finishing touch embellishments.

At least three to four worker workers are required for a detailed and fine work at the same time on the same piece. First a thick cotton cord is stitched on the pattern to be embroidered. Then on this cord prefabricated metal thread is looped on with an ordinary stitching needle. The patterns mostly made are of flowers, leaves, or birds. Skilled embroiders can even do french knots with the smallest size.

From ok, no big deal, no reason to stop scrolling…

Hey, wait a minute, how is that the same thing??!? That’s a quilt?!

Double layer quilting. Denim on top, rainbow bricks under. Sandwiched on top of batting and backing. Quilted. Bound. And now trimming away to show the bricks one trimmed piece at a time.

Work in progress

halakhic-ho

A man goes to see his Rabbi in a panic, and he gets there and he says, “Rabbi you’ll never guess what! My son has run away to become a Christian!” And the Rabbi responds, “Well you’ll never guess what! My son has also run away to become a Christian!” So the man asks the Rabbi what to do and the Rabbi says that they should pray to G-d. So they pray and tell him of their plight and G-d replies, “You’ll never guess what!”

- An old Hasidic joke that my Dad likes to tell me

An old Jewish lady ducks into a church one night during a sudden rain shower. The priest comes in while she’s waiting out the rain and says, “you can’t be here, we don’t allow your kind in here.”

So the lady stands up and grabs the baby jesus statue from their nativity scene and says, “come along bubbala, you heard the man, we aren’t allowed in here”

A rabbi goes to see his friend the bishop. “Listen,” he says, “there’s something I’ve never quite understood about the Catholic church. it’s hierarchical, right?”

“Right,” says the bishop.

“So,” says the rabbi, “if you do a really great job as a bishop, you might become…what?”

“Well,” says the bishop, “if I’m fortunate, I might become an archbishop.”

“And if you do a really great job as an archbishop?”

“I suppose, someday, I could even be a cardinal.”

“And if you do a really great job as a cardinal?”

“I guess after that I could, theoretically, become the Pope.”

“And if you do a really great job as the Pope?”

“What would you expect me to become after the Pope?” says the bishop, who’s starting to get a little annoyed. “God Himself?”

The rabbi shrugs. “Well,” he says “one of our boys made it.”

I know another one.

One night at a nunnery the nuns are woken by loud singing and drunken revelry. They look and see its some Jews celebrating one thing or another just outside.

“You can’t be here!” The nuns say angrily. “This is disrespectful, don’t you know we are the brides of Christ?”

“oh, then that’s no issue, we’re from the groom’s side!”
