Please Barrack For Me on Friday Night

Post: # 819815Post dcstkfc »

My fate mirrors that of David Smorgon- unable to go due to the Jewish New Year Family Dinner. My mum has pretty much threatened to disown me if I go to the game, so as painful as it is, I must watch on TV. I will be there on GF day 100%.

Please make sure your vocal chords having nothing left at full time!

Can't you get a dispensation, like Ian Synman did, to play in the 1966 premiership team?

You wimp, how would it be if a Saints player told Ross Lyon he could not play because his mum wanted him to go dinner with her instead. - instant delisting.

Tell mum you wont interfere with her religion if she doesn't interfere with your religion.
Then go to the game.

Unfortunately it's not really an issue of religion- although I think religion is all absolute bulltish anyway- it's an issue of family.

Anyway I'm not looking for sympathy, just for everyone to barrack for me. You'll need to be pretty raucous if you want to incite nearly as many opposition fans as I did two weeks back.

Will give it everything we have got, with a little bit along the way for you. All the best with the family and the faith. I take it that you will be there should we make it to "The BIG Dance" ? !!

I have been told that no "dispensation" was available then either - just a lot of repentance.

Not that I am an expert on such matters, but I thought adherence meant no watching on TV or listening on radios either. I remember coming back to my uncle's place in East St Kilda in 1966 and spreading the good news to those who were not permitted to use mechanical devices on the Sabbath.

I will give an extra cheer for a fellow Sainter. I will also have several beverages in your honour as well.

Prepare ye for the glory!

Mate, it's all about pre-planning.....as you're probably aware, there is second night also - on the Saturday night.

To keep my Mum happy, we had an agreement - our Family Dinner would be on EITHER Friday or Saturday night, dependant on when the Saints played the Prelim.

I worded her up many months ago!

So ours is on Saturday night - still not 100% happy as I'd prefer to either watch the Cats/Pies game on telly or go to it (I'm an MCC member = free entry!).....I did try for a Thursday night dinner option, but she wouldn't have a bar of it.

Interestingly, I work with a Jewish lady who is very religious - strictly kosher, never works on Friday, studies the religion a bit also - and her comment to me was "do what's right for you"!

Bloody Jewish mothers - I have a family of my own and she still has the whip hand very ocassionally :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reminds me of an old story about the 1966 Grand Final...

As it was the Day of Atonement (a very important Jewish holiday) there were many Jewish Sainters in Caulfield synagogue on the day. I think many only had one thing on their minds. When the siren sounded on the Saints 1 point win the Rabbi announced it to the congregation after a member of the synagogue whispered the result in his ear.

For a day usually reserved for more solemn thoughts, the cheer that arose from this announcement was a one most there claim they won't ever forget.

It raises a question for my 2 fellow Jewish Sainters above, what would you have done if this had all happened next Saturday? Would you have been able to stay away if the Saints happen to make it?

And saintspremiers, yes, there are 2 nights, and even a Saturday lunch if need be!

Absolutely nothing would have stopped me, or my dad for that matter if we were talking about a Grand Final.

:) I'd like to think we would all get dispensation for that if it worked out that way!

I find it all confusing.
Are their different levels of membership?

eg Gutnik said he wasn't even permitted to listen to the football on radio.
But Smorgen seems to think it is OK to watch it on TV.
And Synman got a permission slip to play.

Seems about as consistent as the Match Review Panel ?

LOL.

I think it is like any religion where you have those that are more devout than others. For example, does everyone go to church on Sunday? Does every Catholic attend Mass on Christmas?

What you are seeing here is some of those varying levels. There are ultra orthodox, orthodox and liberal Jewish people out there (amongst others) so the differences you are seeing are probably just based on this.

I remember hearing somewhere that Synman got special dispensation from the Rabbi due to the nature of the event, and that it really was a one off. I think it is nice that there is such flexibility out there.

A very simple answer - it all depends on which 'branch' of Judaism you belong to.

Gutnick belongs to ultra-orthodox - no driving, tv, radio etc on the Sabbath, let alone the New Year or Day of Atonemement.

Smorgon belongs to Orthodox - supposed to be no driving, tv etc.

Synman found a 'Liberal' rabbi who would allow virtually anything.

First you ascertain what answer you are looking for then you determine which 'branch' will give you that answer to your question.
