I thought they were performing Macbeth. "Fear not... till Burnham Wood doth come to Dunsinane..."

do you guys ever see those hasids with tree branches going around harassing other jews and when a nonjew asks what they are doing they say "get the fuck away from us. We only speak to jews!"?

Not only is this headline ridiculous, but more importantly it doesn't make sense. The author, apparently, doesn't know what "wherefore" actually means. "Wherefore" doesn't mean "where." It means "why." Juliet is basically asking "Why, Romeo? Why did you have to be a Montague?" The most important slip-up in the world? No. But one that surely could have been avoided had the writer in question, y'know, read the work they decided to reference. I don't mean to be a jerk... but c'mon. I expect better from Gothamist.

Dear Gothamist: Thank you for not calling this story "Oi! Wherefore Art Thou, Tam Tam?" Much appreciated, Every Jew in the World.
