JL;DR SUMMARY The episode explores a dramatic incident where Canadian border officials blocked a shipment of lulavs due to concerns about violating agricultural laws, causing panic among Jewish communities in Ontario and Quebec just before Sukkot.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.

  • 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'.
