OP here. I can't answer this. Personally hate them and don't give them.

Jewish girls love to give BJ's? Jewish boy here, and uh, no, this is not consistent with my experience.

You're obviously a smart person, hanging around with similar folks.

Like many minorities, we congregate. If you go to most parts of the country you may never meet a Jew.

Can you tell me where that might be?

An old Jewish man is walking through the woods. He comes across a lamp, rubs it, and a genie pops out. The genie tells the Jewish man that he'll grant him one wish.

The Jewish man takes out a map of the Middle East and explains to the genie that there has been nothing but war and bloodshed for centuries, and wishes for peace to that part of the world.

The genie says that even with all of his powers he couldn't possibly grant that wish, and that it would be impossible. Is there any other wish I could grant you?

The old Jewish man says "I've been married to the same Jewish lady for over 50 years, never once has she given my a blow job, can you get her once, before I die, to give me a blow job?"

And the genie says, "Can I take a look at that map again?"

Yeah, but many of your brethren are C and E Christians, as in observe Christmas and Easter (only). So is it surprising that there are many R and Y Jews?

This was my answer. Hell, calling me a C&E Christian would probably be a stretch these days.

Could have just said you're married....

Could have...and I am...but my now husband received one from me during five years of dating and that is it.

OP, clearly you're not a very knowledgeable Jew if you think being the "chosen people" has anything to do with feeling "entitled".

If you can't answer real questions..(you won't talk about Israel? Seriously?)...then don't start stupid AME threads.

You make the rest of us look bad.


Just an FYI, it's not Ask me Enything....

Seriously? Is this your best response?

Still the idiot child...

Synagogue attendance is not an important facet of Jewish life. The important/significant practices of Jewish observance take place in the home on a daily basis.

Why isn't worship with others in your congregation important? What are the daily practices of Jewish observation that take place in the home?

As my son would happily tell you, God is everywhere, even in your underwear! Point being, as long as we have a minyan, we can pray anywhere.

That's sweet. Yes, and Christians also can pray anywhere and anytime (see Anne LaMott's wonderful new book "Help. Thanks. Wow". But why not worship with others in your congregation on a regular basis?

Yes, of course there are many C&E Christians. In fact, I'll will never forget the rector at our church saying at the conclusion of a packed Christmas Eve service, "And, if you enjoyed this story about this little baby being born unto us, you might like to come back and hear what happened when he grew up -- but before he died and was resurrected." So, no I'm not surprised that there are more Jews who attend temple only on High Holy Days, but I don't know a single Jewish family who goes to temple on a regular basis. Most of these folks are Reform Jews -- is that the reason?

Shabbas can be observed at home, although more observant Jews are likely to go to the synagogue on Saturdays.

I agree that there is a Jewish look, however it does not always apply. I have red hair, and I certainly do not "look" Jewish. I don't get offended unless these comments are malicious.

Yep. But then again, you have German friends...you don't scare easily.

I am the OP of the old "I am an orthodox jew - ask me anything post" (http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/222224.page) and when you keep kosher, you absolutely do not need to stoves and 2 fridges. You also dont need 2 dishwashers anymore than you need one - you can do dishes by hand

We do have 2 of a lot of things and it makes for a very crowded kitchen.
