Need a Hand?

Speaking of Gem’s blog – I linked to THL’s from there and saw some sad news – her cat, J Kun passed away 🙁 Beautiful kitty.
c-gar, James Buchanan I think. Broke off with fiance, who later died of hysteria(opium OD). Eventually had a “special” relationship. Others called the Mr Fancy and Mr Nancy.
Bxgrl – I think what you said makes sense – although many Jews come from various Eastern European countries they never felt they could claim that as part of their heritage or story
So for many it was just easier saying “I’m Jewish” and then if someone wants to go deeper and ask but from where the person would tell – but Jewish usually comes first – in my experience with Jewish folks…
However Israeli folks almost ALWAYS saying “I’m Israel” rather than I’m Jewish from Israel
Snappy, you can order them on Amazon. I think they are like $1 a piece. The same thing happened to me.

Not lowly, very nice! I looked at it last night, and found some fun stuff, Gem! (and the photo of you!)
“When you ask someone their nationality and they respond ‘Jewish’, I get irked.”
Doesn’t take much for you to get irked, does it ET???
In the words of the immortal Armand Assante, “I am JEW-ish”.
ET- why should it irk you? I agree with biff & jessi, btw. Judaism is also a heritage (like Italian or Irish- but with matza), and shared history and even bloodlines (no, we’re not a race. But in the way minority groups tend to marry within the group so that genetic material so passed along in traceable ways). My family came from Russia but we hardly identified as Russians. Actually, the Russians didn’t even want us to.
