	Can you please clarify this for me since I don't see how us
Ashkenazim " imitate the Mardi Gras " and " Lenten " customs.    The reason
for posting my query instead of private mail is that if I don't understand,
perhaps others might not either.  I welcome your clarification.
Shalom,

BTW, I dated a nice Sephardic ( Syrian ) girl Saturday night.  Although
she understands Arabic and Hebrew, she had no idea what "vusvus" means.
Can you explain that?  Also note that we had a great time, despite my
ashkenazic background.
