It’s really sad that people are raiding your comments section over steamed hams. I thought people would have better things to do in this day and age.

TRANSLATOR’S NOTE: The actual dish served in this scroll is unclear. Modern translators tend variously towards ‘Clams’ or ‘Hams,’ despite neither being acceptable under contemporary Jewish law.

There is evidence, suggesting it was permitted pre-Babylonian Captivity; swine-flesh was consumed in the land of Canaan for a longtime before it wasn’t. A theory behind the prohibition is derived from the deforestation of the region that occurred throughout the time of the Judges & Kings; resulting in pigs thriving off an unnatural diet of refuse, facilitating a belief that they were unclean animals whose meat caused poisoning.

You could say that we are the chosen people

The Talmud records three opinions on the identities of Shalmer and Simor: 1. That they were residents of Sodom, and the destruction of Simor’s house occurred as a prelude to the destruction of the city. 2. That Shalmer was Pharoh, and Simor his advisor, and the destruction of Simor’s house was a punishment for his part in the enslavement of the Jews. 3. That the story is merely a parable, and neither Shalmer nor Simor ever actually lived.

Close. Satan means adversary, which is translated as Diabolos in some Greek manuscripts, which becomes Diabolus in the vulgate. Diabolus is a loan word but Diabolos means 'slanderer' or something to that effect (it's less neutral than Satan, hence why some manuscripts merely transcribe the Hebrew word). Take that through Old French into Norman into English and you get Devil. ...Sorry I get into that sometimes. I know the greek and latin better than the hebrew.

This is perhaps the very best takeoff on the Steamed Hams meme I have ever seen in all my born days and has a _criminally_ low amount of views for the work put in and the pure majesty of the comedy on show here. I’ll do my best to share it around. I find the finer subtext of this situation to be almost as funny as the video itself. In later seasons, Gary Chalmers is revealed to be devoutly Jewish. This means that both the actual original roast that got burned (which one can easily see is a baked glazed ham by looking at the criss-crossed texture of the rind of the meat) _and_ the nonexistent steamed clams would both be entirely off limits to a Jew who follows Mosaic Law/Halacha and keeps kosher. It was only the happenstance of the Krusty Burgers being grilled portions of beef in lieu of steamed portions of Cham or steamed sea fruits that allowed the Superintendent to partake in the first place. This is high art, more so than any other iteration of the steamed hams meme I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen and heard damn near all of them. Mr. Mayer, you are a treasure.

Jews were safe in the 90'ies. There was neither real meat, cheese or fish in those burgers. 😊

It is written that Beit Shammai held that having promised to deliver sea-fruits, Skiner was obligated to serve such a meal as promised, lest he bare false witness. But Beit Hillel held that by serving an unforgettable luncheon of portions of Cham, Skiner had met the greater obligation of being a good host.

1 And it was after these things, and there was a man from the city of the Field of Spring and his name was Shalmer, the great supervisor over all its learnings. 2 And it was one day, and Shalmer rose and went by Simor Haskiner, administrator of the school house, and he came to the entrance of his house. 3 And Shalmer said to him, saying: "Lo, Simor, behold I have come before thee, for I have transgressed thine instructions." 4 And Simor answered and said, "Ah, my lord supervisor! 5 Peace be upon thee, and I hope that thou mayest be prepared for a feast not to be forgot!" And Shalmer groaned and came after him. 6 And Simor came alone towards the kitchen, and saw, and behold, the oven was all asmoke, and he cried a great cry. 7 And he said, "Ah, my God, for ruined, ruined is the fire-roasted meat I have made!" 8 And he said, "But were I to purchase myself food of haste and cover them as my own food...", and he laughed, and he said in his heart, "How beautiful and how sweet is this thing, to serve as an adversary, Simor!" 9 And he opened the window and lifted his leg to leave it, and behold, Shalmer standing in the entrance to the kitchen! 10 Thus say the bards: "Haskiner, in his explanations of insanity. 11 Is there no balm for the chief of supervisors? And when he hears all of his bloated mutterings, there will be strife in the city this night!" 12 And Shalmer cried and called: "Simor, Simor!" And he said, "Ah, my lord supervisor! 13 Behold I stretch myself in my calves upon the posts of this window, so as to strengthen the body in equal measure. And if thou wouldst join me, join me!" 14 And Shalmer said to Simor saying: "Why doth thine oven smoke, Simor?" And he said, "Please, my Lord, 15 it is not smoke that rises from mine oven, but steam, steam, for the steamed sea fruits that we shall eat! And behold, what is well flavored as steamed sea fruits?" 16 And Shalmer left the kitchen, and Simor saw and left towards Qerustiberg and took a plate of kuftaoth of meat. 17 And he again came towards the kitchen and he said to Shalmer, saying: "I hope, hope that thou mayest be prepared for a feast well-flavoured of kuftaoth of meat!" 18 And the supervisor was confounded, and asked Simor, saying: "Yea, was it not heard in mine ears that behold, we are to eat steamed sea fruits?" 19 And Simor answered and said: "Not steamed sea-fruits, but steamed portions of Cham, for I call kuftaoth by that name." 20 And Shalmer asked and said: "Thou callest kuftaoth by the name 'steamed portions of Cham'?" 21 And Simor answered and said: "I call them by that name, for it is in the way of the speech of my land." 22 And Shalmer asked and said: "What is thy land, whose way is to speak such as this?" 23 And Simor answered and said: "The far-reaches of the north, the region of Neve Jorech." 24 And he said, "Speakest thou thruth? For from the ancient [Hebrew: ʿAtiqah] city am I, and I have never heard this matter of 'steamed portions of Cham' from all the mouths of my comrades." And behold, the ancient city was within the far-reaches of the north, the region of Neve Jorech. 25 And Simor answered and said, "No, not in the ancient city, for they speak such as this in the city of Baal-Beni." 26 And Shalmer said, "I have seen," and bit the kuftaoth and said, "Behold, these kuftaoth seem as the kuftaoth of Qerustiberger!" 27 And Simor denied and said, "No, ah, no, for listed kuftaoth of Haskiner are these, as an old teaching of my clan." 28 And he yet again asked and said, "An old teaching upon the matter of 'steamed portions of Cham'?" And he answered and said "Upon them it is." 29 And he answered and said, "And thus thou callest them by the name 'steamed portions of Cham', but with all this it is clear in my eyes that these are roasted." 30 And he delayed, and Simor requested Shalmer saying: "Permit me for just one moment," and Shalmer said, "I have permitted thee." 31 And Simor left from by the table and opened the door of the kitchen, and saw, and behold, the kitchen was aflame in fire. 32 And he returned towards the table and made as a man concluding, and said, "How glorious it was, and a time of goodness for all people. And behold, I am tired." 33 And the great supervisor rose to leave and saw the light of the fire in the kitchen, and he shouted and cried, "Oh, Lord of goodness! What is it that occurs thence?" 34 And Simor said, "The radiance of the firmament it is." 35 And Shalmer cried in a loud voice and called: 36 "The radiance of the firmament it is? In this season of the year, and also at this time of the day, and also in this province of the land, and also it is dwelling from head to end within thy kitchen?" 37 And he said, "Thus and so." 38 And he requested, saying: "May I see it it?" And he answered and said, "No." 39 And Simor led Shalmer out of his house, and his mother cried and called: "Simor, aflame is the house!" 40 And Simor answered her and said, "Not so is this matter, O my mother, for the great luminaries are they." 41 And Shalmer said to Simor, saying: "Lo, Simor, a differentiated man art thou, yet for all this I shall say that behold, you have known to steam a portion of Cham." 42 And this scroll, the Scroll of Cham-Steam, was written and sealed by the hand of Isaac Harel son of Jael and Abraham Meir the priest, in the thirty-second year of the family of the sons of Simp. 43 May the LORD be unto us a help, a help!

Old Testament scholars still debate the meaning of this passage from “the 22 short books on the Field of Spring” Personally my professor is of the mind that this story relates to the profundity of Gods love as acted through the Shema, even when legal authority remains dubious; it’s a world of paradox and confusion where only love for the neighbor and for god can set right. Shalmer notes that he made it to the synagogue of Simor; despite the directions given to him by the Levite; but that begs the question as to why a Priest like Shalmer is asking the Levite for authority on the subject of devotion, and it is noted that Simor never invokes his position, and it is rather his acts that set the word right. Simor then does a series of actions that correlate with not just the Shema, but the Law of love; demonstrating love for his neighbor Shalmer; through his love for Shalmer he shows love for the lord. 1) Simor actively mourns the burning of his roast, pure emotion streaking his face at the prospect of not feeding Shalmer 2) Simor then proceeds to scheme his way past this; showing not just soulful resolve, but perhaps also making a wider statement as to the nature of human souls; is it our persistence or our capacity for deceipt that is notable? 3) Simor demonstrates his might be stretching his calves on the “windowsill” which I say for lack of a better term, as the term comes from a more anglicized translation of old Greek texts which kind of stuck. 4) Simor finally demonstrates not just love for his neighbor Shalmer, but also love for his neighboring merchant, krusty Burger; using patronage to sate the hunger of Shalmer. Now there’s actually a lot of scholarship concerning the entrance of this third actor to this narrative; I recommend more scholarship on the matter. It is known as to what extent Shalmer knows of Simors deceit; and the implications Therein; but the reversal of this pedagogical scenario comes full circle when miraculously; a heavenly light appears in Simors kitchen; prompting the priest Shalmer to become awe stricken and humbled; asking Simor for a lesson as to its origins; which Simor denies. From here the parable flips back to the status quo, with Shalmer validating Simors cooking; the world set right again.

​@@Smapti Lo unto the fold of Mendoza and his host of Amalek, Canaan, Babylon, Assyria, and of the Philistines which he gathered to plot against the children of Israel, was delivered an idol that shone like beryl. And this idol borne by the nations unto the table of Mendoza was cold to the touch. Yet the features of the idol shattered in full view of Mendoza's host, and beset were they by the figure of ben-Bay'in of the Nazirites. Thus spaketh he: "The waters drawn from your well by night so that they may freezeth and be cut thus so in alms to your false gods was I sent by the LORD and be made to greet you in mockery as the cold like unto your idol may greet you coldly. But praise be to the LORD, my G-d, that of my father and my father's father, that he should speak unto me and command me to mete out His fury for your profane acts." "Lo, did he say to me, "And you shall be the instrument of my horrible wrath, Reuven son of Bay'in and set forth upon those who hath drawn my anger in the killing of thy brother Shko'i, and they shall know by your slingstones and your arrows that I am the LORD."" Then did ben-Bay'in smite the host of Mendoza until each of the sons of Amalek, Canaan, Babylon, Assyria, and the Philistines lay dead before the table of Mendoza the Amalekite.

Plot twist: every version of Steamed Hams is canon, because Springfield is actually located in Hell. That's why no one ages there.

Brilliant, chaver Yitzchak! Reader, I am not a Simpsons fan, so I do not know the context, but if you are a Simpsons fan and have stumbles upon this, know that you have found a top-notch telling of a Simpsons episode using the most elegant of Biblical Hebrew, chanted with the most deft application of the cantillation notes for the Scroll of Esther.

It's worth a watch, at least the first 7 to 13 seasons. Lots of wonderful things said about Judaism, they really did their homework when Krusty's rabbi father was involved.

The fact that you zoomed in on the word "help" at the end tickles me. Very well done! Truly this scroll belongs in the library of Steamed Hams.

I love how I get recommended this when Purim is right around the corner lol

This is such an exquisit blend of reverence for tradition and pure shitposting. Truly immaculate

Why does this meme get such impressive amounts of effort 😂

This is incredible. Some of the phrases and word choices made me laugh out loud. For example Shalmer being the supervisor over all the learnings of the City of the Field of Spring

I can't get over how both wholesome and absurd this is. You're a special kind of person to commit so much time and energy for a good laugh :)

man idk why we got some crazy brothas out here hatin' on jewish people. jewish people are the best. smart, funny, caring, loyal, responsible, not afraid to take their most holy practices/beliefs a bit unseriously - these are the things I associate with my jewish brothas. anyway this is Art and I trust that, messiah or not, Jesus wept. l' - and I cannot stress this enough - chaim, fam.
