actually, the plural of goy (gentiles, non-jews) is goyim, not goys.

it's fun. you get all of the privileges of looking white, but you're actually a minority, so you've got the ethnic thing going, too. plus you're smart, funny, and rich. it's a sweet gig 😉

And you can count Barbra Streisand as one of your own! :disgust:

I'm so glad I'm not Jewish.

Except most Jews can eat bacon cheese burgers with coke. Afaik, only Orthodox Jews follow the kosher rule any more.

Not True. Most if not all Conservative jews follow the kosher laws, and many reform jews do too.

thats not strictly true but for all intents and purposes it might as well be. i know some jews who are not orthodox but are kosher.

but...
whats it like being jewish?

its power, my friend. lots of power.
 
I would hate to have to follow all the religious observations, but other than that, my blood would be red just like yours.
 
Why did i KNOW that i would find munruss and carbo in this thread?

2 years later, and still morons.
 
I'm Jewish, but not orthodox (ie I don't keep Kosher and I don't observe Shabbat, no special clothing). I don't look very Jewish, but many people can guess that I am. I don't find any real discrimination in the world. Sometimes people have a bad choice of words....
