And I suppose I would have thought the nose comment was creepy if it wasn't so funny and entirely unexpected. I've always thought of it as a Roman nose. Yes, I meant orthodox.

Did they look like me? ;) Maybe Orthodox? If they were handing out literature, they were most likely Chabad or Lubovich. No other Jews typically hand out anything (actually prohibited from it). I can't believe they'd say it's your nose. Eek. lol Guess it's that 99% genes are the same thing? Conservative Jews in full garb? Did they look like me? ;) Maybe Orthodox?

But--and I thought of you when this happened, Jill--I did have a funny encounter a couple of weeks ago around the Jewish holidays, at Legacy Village. A couple of young conservative Jews in full garb were passing out literature of some sort, and when they noticed my interest in trying to see what it was, they stopped me, thinking I was a Jew. I asked them why they thought so, and one guy made me laugh by telling me it was my nose that made him think so. That was a first for me. Man, I’m about as far away from Israeli as one gets.

I'll have to google it after I leave this comment. :) The points he makes aren't new - to you or me or many others we know - but on the other hand, he says them more or less plainly and straightforward without equivocating. I liked that. As for me, I STILL am working on credits with you, John? You are one tough cookie! ;) Lol – John, I definitely skipped over that line about grokking – I don’t even know what it means!

Hadn't come across that yet, and found it valuable. So at least he gets credit for a quality link. As do you, of course.

Here's hoping this guy, whoever the hell he is, will learn to begin talking in English some day.
