Rent a Virtue: Jewish Edition

You will want to share this keepsake item with your friends.

I don’t know about you, but I’m fed up with virtue signalers. And the worst kind of virtue signaler, in my book, is the one who claims, “My best friends are Jews.”

“Well then,” I think to myself, “why don’t you just be my friend instead of talking about it?” But talking about it is the whole point.

Virtue signalers puff themselves up in the expectation that everyone will think they are compassionate. But, as commentator Melanie Phillips has noted, virtue signalers are not compassionate. They are narcissists. They have big, fat egos. That is why I want to make fun of them. This post is dedicated to that.

Imagine for a moment if virtue signalers could turn to a commercial service to help them achieve their goal of looking and feeling compassionate. What would an advertisement for that service look like? How about the following?

A Word from Our Sponsor

Do you want to show your friends what a good person you are? Maybe you’ve tried before and failed.

You know that Jews are not popular. But how can you show that you are so good that you don’t mind Jews? As a gentile, how can you establish your “Jewish creds”?

Are you afraid you’ll say the wrong thing? That you’ll come off as phony? That you’ll mispronounce words like “oy vey” and “latke”?

Maybe it’s time to call in the experts.

Introducing a new service: Rent a Virtue: Jewish Edition

We offer a full menu of in-person and digital services.

A Memory Book of Photos to Cherish

You will want to share this keepsake item with your friends. The book is a perennial resource for establishing your “pro-Yid” credentials.

The Book includes but is not limited to:

  • Heart-warming photos of you shaking hands with people dressed in traditional Jewish garb (also available on CD-ROM);
  • Photo of you handing out Chanukah gelt to hungry-looking Jewish children;
  • A photo-collage of your donations to Jewish groups:
    • “Look! I got this certificate for planting trees in Israel. I was only 12 years old. Can you believe that?”
    • “When I visited Israel I went to the Hadassah hospital for a delicate surgery on my ingrown toenail. They have world-class toenail specialists—-most people don’t know that. But I do!”
