Sundown: Bringing Home the Bacon

• A synagogue in Roundhay, England, was scandalized last Saturday to find bacon strips wrapped around its door handles and stuffed in keyholes. The local paper, Roundhay Today, adds insult to injury with a salacious ad for a t-shirt reading “Bacon Makes Everything Better.” [RT]

• The latest victim of intermarriage and assimilation? Jewish country clubs. [Golfweek]
