Is it one of the Jewish things
that has been Universalized
and entered Pop Culture,
kinda like the Kabbalah is now
becoming.
The Bialy is another kinda
Jewish Bakery Thing
from Western Jewish Europe.
Here is a cute story
turned in to me by
Michael Bedar,
PR head of the Tree of Life
Rejuvenation Center
where he works with/for
Rav Gabriel Cousens,
The Essene Shaman
and Mystic that Lapis
has been writing about these days.

In 1911, Hyman Bedarsky (HB) came to New York from Russia. Also in 1911, Hyman Cousenitsky (HC) came to New York from Russia. HB was my great-grandfather, and HC was Gabriel Cousens' grandfather.
