Some of them are so ignorant, a guy once said me, "I heard Jews don't shower" I laughed, "Do I smell good?" lol<br /><br />There is a lot of ignorance and in some cases it is quite scary (i.e. anti-israel/pro=palestine). It is ridiculous the ignorant and untruthful statements they spew. But alas, that is a different subject. <br /><br />On a different note, it is also fascinating to see how much we have in common with other cultures. One of my classmates' parents are Indian, so she was telling me about dating for her etc. It was so interesting to see how beautiful her culture is and how similar to ours.

I said "tell me about it" and he asked why. I explained that I was Jewish and that we also didn't celebrate X-mas and he almost fell off his chair. He thought only Muslims and Hindus didn't.Garnel Ironheartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-20302992644570668612012-12-12T12:57:56.754-05:002012-12-12T12:57:56.754-05:00Many years ago, a colleague asked me what Jews bel...Many years ago, a colleague asked me what Jews believe about Jesus. I told him that he really has no place in Judaism at all. He was shocked - "But Jesus was a Jew!" I pointed the many historical Christians who do not figure in Christian theology. He had never considered that before.JTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-34156946003226220242012-12-12T10:15:31.710-05:002012-12-12T10:15:31.710-05:00The first story is upsetting because as Jews, who ...The first story is upsetting because as Jews, who "came up with the idea of Him in the first place," why are we saying things like "shidduch crisis"? Is God taking care of things, or not? <br /><br />As for the second . . . this nun doesn't realize the fundamental difference between Jews and Christians? She thought we were being persecuted for more than 1,000 years because we had different haircuts? <br /><br />Has she been living under a rock?Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.com
