[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm watching it. Adam Brody is adorable and saves the show. Kristen Bell is grating, so is her [b]mean sister. I can't believe how many times they have used the word shiksa[/b] so far. It's a slur, fine if you want to use it once, but getting old, repetitive and rude. The show started to go majorly south when he brought her to the retreat, then barged in on her work dinner to light shabbat candles after sundown?!![/quote]

It just occurred to me that the sister plays the sister in law in the Marvelous Mrs Maisel…the one who converted and is a more devout Jew than her in laws. Pretty sure they used the word “shiksa” quite a bit on that show. [/quote]

It felt very uncomfortable to hear that word so much. It's a total slur putting down both Jewish women for not being as alluring as, and non Jewish women for not being as worthy as. It's somewhat okay for a woman to self-define as such in a humorous way but it really is not otherwise okay. [/quote]

Is the shiksa word Yiddish or Hebrew?

Did it originate when Hasidism and the Talmud did in 1800s europe or before that?

The Talmud is an interesting document that could explain all kinds of behaviors towards Gentiles. [/quote]

Yiddish

Don’t talk about Hasidism, that’s extremely conservative and yes insularly created in Poland in the 1800s.

Talmud is historic individuals interpretations of the Torah. [/quote]
