Intermezzo 1 Lyrics by Ben Caplan

Old Stock

0

So, a man and a woman leave a country full of wolves for a country full of actual wolves. They meet, one falls in love. And now, a new life. But, the trouble is, outside of Bucharest there are fields of cornflowers and yarrow, oat grass, tansy, ox-hide daisies... wild thyme! When Haya was little she rolled around in them. When she got older, she picked them and gave them to the boys she liked

There was one boy in particular. He was handsome, and tall, and fuckable. Eminently fuckable.

Alright, so, Judaism, it might surprise you to know, is very positive, very... enthusiastic, even, about fucking. It's a mitzvah, a commandment, a blessing: "Be fruitful and multiply"... ya know, with your husband or wife, of course -- in the Bible it says adulterers are to be put to death, but... that's just part of any sacrificial desert's cult, am I right? And, look, the Jewish oral law states you can't put anyone to death for the crime of adultery unless there are at least two witnesses to the crime... of adultery

So, unless you invite some people over to see the adultery -- unless you have an adultery party -- there's a fair amount of rabbinical 'wiggle room.' There's the Bible, but there's also the 'oral tradition'...
