For those of you who don't know what gefilte fish is, it strongly resembles a ball of tuna fish that has been passed nasally. It's not good. During Passover, the angel of death passed over the Jews - an event that, up until the late 1950s, was re-enacted every year by Ivy League colleges and suburban country clubs.” PeopleIfsKnowsYearsHas BeensCountryHappensCitiesEventsNew YorkCollegeLateEatingAngelBallsFishesJewClubsTraditionalCelebrateLeagueMealsNew York CityIvyTunaIvy LeagueCountry ClubsAngel Of DeathTuna Fish Author:Jon Stewart
