The Jewish Zodiac

CHICKEN SOUP 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 You're a healer, nourishing all whom you encounter. We feel better just being in your presence. Mothers want to bring you home to meet their children: resist this at all costs. Compatible with Bagel and Knish.

EGG CREAM 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 You've got a devious personality since you're made with neither eggs nor cream. Friends find your pranks refreshing; others think you’re too frothy. Compatible with Blintz, who also has something to hide.

CHOPPED LIVER 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969,1981, 1993, 2005 People either love you or hate you, making you wonder "what am I, chopped liver?" But don’t get a complex, you're always welcome at the holidays! Bagel's got your backside.

BLINTZ 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 Creamy and dreamy, you're rightfully cautious to travel in pairs. You play it coy but word is with the right topping you turnover morning, noon and night. Compatible with Schmear.

LATKE 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 Working class with a grating exterior, you’re a real softie on the inside. Kinda plain naked but when dressed up you’re a real dish. Compatible with Schmear’s cousin Sour Cream.

BAGEL1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 You’re pliable and always bounce back, although you feel something's missing in your center. If this persists, get some therapy. Compatible with Schmear and Lox. Latke and Knish, not so much.

PICKLE 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009 You’re the perfect sidekick: friends love your salty wit and snappy banter but you never overshadow them. That shows genuine seasoning from when you were a cucumber. Marry a Pastrami later in life.

SCHMEAR 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010 You blend well with others but often spread yourself too thin. A smooth operator, you could use some spicing up now and then. Compatible with Bagel and Lox. Avoid Pastrami - wouldn't be kosher.

PASTRAMI 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 Brisket's hipper sibling, always smokin' and ready to party. You spice up life even if you keep your parents up at night. Compatible with Pickle, who's always by your side.

BLACK AND WHITE 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 Kids love you but make up your mind! Are you black or white? Cake or cookie? You say you’re "New Age," all yin & yang. We call it "bi-polar." Sweetie, you're most compatible with yourself.

KNISH 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 Flaky on the surface, you're actually a person of depth and substance. Consider Medical or Law School but don't get too wrapped up in yourself. Compatible with Pickle. Avoid Lox, who's out of your league.

LOX 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014 Thin and rich, you're very high maintenance: all you want to do is bask in the heat getting some color. Consider retiring to Boca. Compatible with Bagel and Schmear although you top them both.
