...Chabad representative, then arranged for me to eat with Rabbi Hazan. I had arrived at this home expecting a warm, Jewish welcome from my host family. Instead, there I was, staring into a room of confused strangers when all I’d wanted was a bowl of Matzah ball soup. Scrounging together bits of English, Hebrew, and Italian, I attempted to explain my intrusion. I was in my third week in Rome and the winding, cobblestone streets had left me lost and alone. I had spotted a few men sporting yarmulkes—traditional Jewish skullcaps—near...
...2000s answered with a flood of Festival of Lights extravaganzas. Sandler's critically panned animated 2002 film, Eight Crazy Nights, was a cult hit, while a cool kids' film, Chanukah on Planet Matzah Ball, targeted the 6 and under set.

But when the pizza is made from matzah and the movie is a cult classic about hook-ups at a Jewish summer camp, things start to get interesting. Such was the case last Saturday night when the Harvard Reform Minyan, a prayer community at Harvard Hillel, hosted a screening of “Wet Hot American Summer” to provide Passover-observing students with a kosher-friendly study break, complete with matzah pizza, Havdalah prayers, live guitar, and plenty of Manischewitz wine.
