From the Brooklyn Paper comes a story of horror and animal parts found in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Theories abound that the sack may have been a part of a Santeria sacrifice ritual:
Inside a soaking blue sack were decapitated turkeys, a smaller bird, dead fish, beans, corn, root vegetables, plantains, and six $1 bills.
Ewwwww. Cobble Hill residents who practice Santeria are advised to dispose of their animal sacrifices properly.

It looks like we will have gray, rainy Seders this evening, perhaps all the better to accompany the bitter herbs… Bitter herbs that, as Benyamin Cohen writes at slate.com, could be exorbitantly marked up for the season, along with other necessary accoutrements. $24 for matzoh?
Enjoy your rituals this evening. If you need some help, here’s a spare Haggadah.
Make sure to set a place for Elijah! After the jump, details on another Elijah who rocked one of our favorite local spots this weekend.
