Benjamin Franklin Jonas (July 19, 1834 – December 21, 1911) was a Democratic U.S. Senator from Louisiana and an officer in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was the third Jew to serve in the Senate.

A by-marriage extended family member is a NE US Jew, zero-practicing, hung out a lot.
Openly jokes about the Jew money thing. And I’ve noticed they just approach things totally different in that regard.
In a social get together setting they specifically ask what do you do, what’s your business, any angle to get involved etc. Like a Chamber of commerce meeting but worse. I kinda respect that though but is just weird to me. In a business sense, it kinda has a bypass the foreplay sense to it.

quote:Famous Jewish people person Judah Benjamin:
Judah Benjamin, QC (August 6, 1811 – May 6, 1884) was a United States senator from Louisiana, a Cabinet officer of the Confederate States and, after his escape to the United Kingdom at the end of the American Civil War, an English barrister. Benjamin was the first Jew to hold a Cabinet position in North America and the first to be elected to the United States Senate who had not renounced his faith.
Benjamin was born to Sephardic Jewish parents from London, who had moved to St. Croix in the Danish West Indies when it was occupied by Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. Seeking greater opportunities, his family immigrated to the United States, eventually settling in Charleston, South Carolina. Judah Benjamin attended Yale College but left without graduating. He moved to New Orleans, where he read law and passed the bar.
Benjamin rose rapidly both at the bar and in politics. He became a wealthy planter and slaveowner and was elected to and served in both houses of the Louisiana legislature prior to his election by the legislature to the US Senate in 1852. There, he was an eloquent supporter of slavery [He just wanted to understand what the Egyptians had gone though when they owned slaves]. After Louisiana seceded in 1861, Benjamin resigned as senator and returned to New Orleans. He soon moved to Richmond after Confederate President Jefferson Davis appointed him as Attorney General. Benjamin had little to do in that position, but Davis was impressed by his competence and appointed him as Secretary of War. Benjamin firmly supported Davis, and the President reciprocated the loyalty by promoting him to Secretary of State in March 1862, [/b]while Benjamin was being criticized for the rebel defeat at the Battle of Roanoke Island.
As Secretary of State, Benjamin attempted to gain official recognition for the Confederacy by France and the United Kingdom, but his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. To preserve the Confederacy as military defeats made its situation increasingly desperate, he advocated freeing and arming the slaves, but his proposals were only partially accepted in the closing month of the war. When Davis fled the Confederate capital of Richmond in early 1865, Benjamin went with him. He left the presidential party and was successful in escaping from the mainland United States, but Davis was captured by Union troops. Benjamin sailed to Great Britain, where he settled and became a barrister, again rising to the top of his profession before retiring in 1883. He died in Paris the following year.

Do you find them wildly liberal by default? Which is funny watching the spin of politics these days because they hated Trump while business thrived and delighted in him “losing” and now with so many business metrics going to shite they still try to rationalize biden.
Bad generalization as 90% of my family and friends are all Republicans and voted for Trump. We hunt, fish, drink beer, and unless we told you you would never know we were Jewish. The ones who vote Democrat are typically from large urban cities and are more agnostic or reformed Jews.
Hasidic, Orthodox, and Jews who were born and raised in the South are pretty conservative and Republican.
From my experience the Jewish friends that I know who are die hard Democrats are this way because they or their parents/grandparents were a minority in the country they were raised in and there was an effort to divide different groups to marginalize those groups in society and those folks for the most part have viewed the Democratic Party as the group where minorities stick together to protect themselves from a more dominant group.
Southern Jews learned how to assimilate into society and for the most part help the local community by giving back.

Yeah the small number I know but know well are that way. I don’t think I’ve known otherwise. Didn’t mean to speak ignorantly.
FWIW, My father, who is a deeply religious Protestant scholar, has always told me that the Jewish people were the chosen by God. It’s been a work in process trying to figure that out when it comes to the leftist agnostic etc types.

I know many in business and those from the Northeast and Midwest are solid to work with. Those from Baton Rouge will screw you then laugh at you behind your back.
Several I know in Texas are about as solid as could be.
That being said, my dad loathed Heymann in Laffy. They went to high school together and Heymann was the rich kid who used daddy's car at night to find and rat out pranksters. Dad and some friends told him of some misdeeds going down at the end of a tree draped street as they sat on a tree limb and poured white paint onto the roof of the black car. He had to go wake up a paint and body man to fix things before his dad found out. They owned the major department store in Laffy back then in the 1930's.

Too many. This is a very sensitive topic for me, personally, as a result of my mother in law.
The one who’s really been the most entertaining lately is our next door neighbor. Was married to Garland Robinette decades ago.
I’m in awe of anyone with a near perfect record of saying something seemingly cordial to initiate conversation, then immediately proceeding with alarming regularity to complain incessantly about mundane, uneventful, normal issues adults deal with every day as if there’s a conspiracy to railroad and rob her out of happiness or life’s pleasure that responsible people can expect.
It’s always been her passive way of insinuating I should help her, or just plain do what everyone else does for themselves, or pay other people to do for them.
When we first moved in, she made a huge deal about how the fence between us needing to be replaced because of the liability issue with her pool, and how the existing fence was leaning from a storm years before we moved in. I wanted to be a good neighbor, extend some good will, and help everyone’s situation. The deal we agreed on was for her to purchase the lumber, I’d pick it up, demo the existing pos, haul it to Stranco (which she paid for), replace the run between us, and in return she would compensate me for the work with a nail gun.
Well, upon satisfactory completion, I didn’t receive a nail gun. And at that point, I was made aware that the nature of this relationship wasn’t going to be one that could be considered agreeable.
Last week, I was informed that all, all of my subsurface drainage, hundreds of feet of pipe, gravel, etc. that I installed during the 2 weeks to flatten the curve, from 7 different downspouts, through solid pvc, which runs to the front of the lot and into the neighborhood drainage system, needs to be removed immediately. It turns out that a couple of her azaleas are being saturated from all the water moving on my lot towards the street’s drainage. The azalea row runs between us from our backyards to the front of the property. Her drainage expert explained how it was my fault and that I installed French drains improperly. When I explained that I don’t have any French drains on my property, and that there’s no way they’re dying from being saturated because of what I installed, she told me she was going to have to handle it legally.
I agreed, and watched her have her daily aneurism over the sight/thought of me as she stormed off to find another victim.
I always heard from my parents or grandparents when I was a kid, and pissed about assholes screwing me over, how, “Awww, dawlin’….Ya’ gotta kill’em with kindness!” Well, I’m trying with this lady. She just won’t feckin die!

Where I grew up the Catholics were in the minority, it was mainly Baptist and Jewish.
But they were all mostly conservative. Except this one girl I dated turned into a flaming lib at college. This is the same girl that told me we couldn’t be together because I wasn’t Jewish. I know, very liberal of her.

Yes, New Orleans still has a large population. Newman and Country Day have a lot and both schools have off days for Jewish holidays.

Lots of them converted to Catholicism. We have a small Jewish cemetery in my home town. When you see the family names on the tombstones, you recognize right away that someone in the family converted bc the same names are in the Catholic cemetery , just 50-100 years later.

I feel people would be more sensitive to the Holocaust if the numbers were represented differently. Saying the Nazis killed 6MM Jews is horrific. But saying they wiped out nearly 40% of the population is on a different level of hate.
