farlaChapter Three, (Number) Of Beasts, of Tribulations is up.
To me, it seemed natural that the moment it became clear that Rabbi Jewy Jew McJewson was not Jewish, a real rabbi, and did not know Hebrew or Yiddish, anyone who knew such languages would start insulting him in it, just as MSTs of fics involving bad Japanese will often end up insulting the author in Japanese. My knowledge of Hebrew insults is sadly lacking, so they're probably using much harsher language than is appropriate. Maybe they're a bit testy from the whole "superpowered terrorists who say Jesus is messiah have taken over the Western Wall and lit people on fire thing".
Next chapter: Mood whiplash!
