Andorra, where non-Catholic houses of worship are illegal, gets its first full-time rabbi

JL;DR SUMMARY Andorra, a small nation in the Pyrenees where non-Catholic places of worship are currently illegal, has welcomed its first full-time rabbi, Kuty Kalmenson, a Chabad emissary. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
