I’m faux Jew, and celebrating my 11th year as a faux Jew. It is something that occurred a while back in college during Passover.
Tuschka is my faux Jewish Sister/Goddess/Princess. She was having a bad day and I was hanging out with her. To cheer her up, I thought I’d send her an e-card, something fun and uplifting. I went to Blue Mountain to see what they had for Easter and all the cards were blah. Then I noticed that we were in Passover and found a game card to find the halva. I sent it to Tuschka, wishing her a Happy Passover. I was with her when she got the got the card and we both started laughing.
From there, the Jewish thing kind of went crazy. Birthday’s get a Bar Mitzvah card, we send each other Hanukkah cards, and Passover always holds a special place in our hearts. We gave ourselves “Jewish” names, Tuschka for her (duh) and I became Lashka. Even one Hanukah we gave each other the same Hanukkah Bear that played the driedle song.
My lovely GBFF has said I’m the most Jewish non-Jew he knows, and I’m more aware of holidays and events then some of his fellow Jewish friends. I like being invited to his Jewish functions because I have fun and I learn more about my faux self.
So, this post is dedicated to my fellow faux on our 11th anniversary. Happy Passover to my Jewish sister/goddess/princess Tuschka!!
Rock out, circumcised.

My dearest Lashka,
I got a little verklempt while reading this post! Has it already been 11 years? I know it's not exactly Kosher that we celebrate our faux-Jewishness, but that's us..we have a lot of chutzpeh! Well, what can I say...these last 11 years have been amazing! I cherish all the tchotchkes we have given each other and all our memories!
Now, enough with the schmaltzy talk! Mazel Tov, my darling, on 11years of being faux-Jews! Happy Passover!
All my Jewish Love and Adoration,
Tushcka
