Mosel Tov!
 
 I'm not Jewish but would still like to extend my wishes to those who are.

It's also the start of Ramadan, which for me means all the bars are closed tonight.   :(

You seem to allude to your Jewish-ness a lot on this bboard & elsewhere. Does it mean that you are a religiously devout person...a true believer in Yeshua, or Shiva, or whatever..?  Are you spending lots of time praying daily?
 
 You know, you don't hear the rest of saying things like, "My parents are typical Methodists"?
 
 ...Just wondering?

I'm not Jewish but I respect your weird and strange Lord-impaling traditions. Except for those faggot hats, I will never respect that. Happy Maccabbes Day, or whatever!

By being "typical Methodists" I really mean to say that my people spend rather an inordinate ammount of their time busilly controlling the world pork-rind & mobile home industries.

i surely do not want to speak for her, but many jews are "overtly jewish" because it's the only way they can maintain their identity (whether they identify as jewish on a national, ethnic, or religious basis)
 
 jews who don't overtly identify themselves as such often just assimilate into mainstream culture, which is largely christian
 
 it's interesting to go to israel and see an entire nation of jews ... many of them do not overtly identify themselves as religious / jewish because they simply don't have to ... the DEFAULT is judaism (the whole country shuts down from friday evening - saturday evening, holidays, etc), and there is no fear of losing their identity via assimilation
 
 there is (generally) not much of a need for a WASP to overtly assert his/her ethnic/religious background because it's generally the default in this county
 
 but again, i don't mean to speak for her at all, just pointing things out

But you don't see the Hispanics, Native Americans, Asians,African-Americans, Buddhists, Agnostics, Muslims, etc. of the board aggressively asserting those facts...

Perhaps not "on this board" but I saw an article a few weeks ago detailing the great number of Hispanic's refusing to learn English for fear of their culture being eroded.
 
 Agnostics and atheists often try to heighten the difference between themselves and their religious neighbors.

fair enough ... i was just speaking from experience about identity issues of american jews, i obviously can't speak for these other groups (well, maybe agnostics)

Pushy athiests abound, but where are the assertive agnostics?

 my parents are typical catholics
 
 jews like talking about being jews. i've always found it kinda charming. surprised that some people have never encountered this before
