FSU

[James A. Landau]

This has undoubtedly been around for a while, but it's a new one on me.

"FSU" = "Former Soviet Union"

"Federation initiates $100,000 emergency dirve to help save at-risk Jews in
FSU"
Jewish Times of South Jersey, Volume 9, number 27, August 8, 2005, page 1.

Also from the Jewish TImes of SJ, "minyanaire" meaning someone who regularly
attends daily minyans.  "Minyanaire" has been current in my synagogue for some
time, but I first saw it in print about a month ago in the Jewish Times.

definitely has a family of racoons in his attic)
