How much you wanna bet he's referring to menorah decorations?

My son is an expert at deploying those. He recently found his dreidels from last year. And left them in the middle of the damn kitchen floor!

Hey man, that ish hurts when you’re barefoot and walking to the kitchen for a glass of water in the middle of the night. Of COURSE it’s enough to decide to threaten an entire religion. Feets are sensitive!

If that is anything like stepping on a Lego…Let me just say that I don’t agree with what he did, but I can understand.

Oh it's worse. But it's certainly not blow up synagogues level.

True story, when I was in second grade they had some “international food day”.

I was a typical rich suburban Massachusetts kid, which means I had no clue about anything other than my own life.

Anyways, a Jewish kid brought in the potato pancakes and applesauce. And it was the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted.

I have loved Jewish people ever since.

So for my entire life, I have never understood people who just are anti-Semitic or hate Jewish people. They clearly haven’t tried the food or dated the women. And I strongly suggest they do. 10/10 they will become fans.

Latkes if you didn't know the name if you ever wanted to look up recipes. Really easy to make. Shredded potato, egg, onion (powder works fine, but fresh is better IMO) and fry 'em up in a pan.

Also good with sour cream.

P.S. If you liked latkes, try kugel. It's a noodle dish.

I don't think hate of that caliber is rational so there is no understanding those people. That goes for hatred of any ethnic groups in general.

I remember in high school our theater director/teacher made latkes for us, and it was the first and only time I had had them (this was the South in the 70s), until I got to grad school. She was wonderful. Rest in Power, Ruth.🥲

Don't have to be their ethnic to enjoy their ethnic foods!

We grew up with potato pancakes, and best with sour cream and salt. Applesauce on the side. Also things called pierogis. Some stuffed with sauerkraut and mushrooms. And then smoked kielbasa with some horserasdish dip.

Funny, being of European descent, I find Asian food, Indian food, and now, Spanish foods to have a wonderful selection of spices that are missing from most foods I grew up with.

Pierogis slapp. I called them periogioes as a kid. Incredible with sour cream.

Seance-Fiction t1_ivaws3k wrote

Pierogi is already plural! It’s a battle that cannot be won.

But anyway I also grew up on Polish food and customs and there’s a lot of Jewish crossovers.

This is so wholesome. I love it! I grew up in a small town in MI where I only knew two Jewish families in the whole town. I ended up marrying a Jewish man and I feel so lucky that I get to live partly in that world now.

We have a surprisingly large (but small really) Jewish community in australia. Only like 100 000 people.

Nobody really has interactions with them so I can only assume the everyday person is guided by US media in how they view the community.

I like to travel to one of the larger Jewish areas in Sydney because it has a nice walking path, and bonus that they have some great bakeries. Store bought bagels (even expensive ones) can’t compete with a fresh bakery made bagel!

Edit: by nobody has interactions, I mean they do. But most people don’t meet people and judge their whole work or friendship on religion. Also because they are not the majority, it’s not a topic on peoples minds.

Isn’t this the case for a lot of racist excuses? ‘They bullied me’. ‘No, I asked if you were waiting in line and you decided to leave the line.’ ‘Well, I never got my coffee! That’s on you!’
