Colbert's Hotline 1-888-OOPS-JEW

All week, Steven Colbert of the Colbert Report has had a tshuvah hotline to fascilitate Jews asking him for forgiveness.

It has been very funny, extremely well done, and is educational. He started using a Hebrew number (which he had the techies flip the graphics so it read right to left) and then changed to a regular number when he "realized Jews didn't have Hebrew phones."

Many of the weeks guests have called in--including columnist Frank Rich and writer and activist Daniel Ellison. Also previous guests in media called, including Mort Zuckerman of US News & World Report and his colleague/producer John Stewart.

I highly recommend you watch these clips.

Shabbat shalom and Gmar Hatimah Tova,
