Yes, Hanukkah has come and gone, and Christmas is right around the corner. But that doesn't mean we can't take a little time out of this parade of yule tidings to consider the Jewfro.

This according to memoirist Eugene Rubin, who, before before being cruelly stripped of his heritage by male pattern baldness, also had a proud and tall head of Semitic hair.

Check out more of Rubin's musing on a hair style that has gone from geek to chic at his blog. He includes important grooming tips, as well as assurances that a Jew with a properly maintained Jewfro is a Jew who never has to eat Christmas dinner at the Chinese restaurant alone.
