re: Do you know any Jewish people?

Now that I think about it, I can only think of one family I’ve known that was without a doubt Jewish. It was a friend I knew in elementary and middle school. His brother was a couple of grades behind us. They were cool and never really thought about the religious stuff too much. If I’ve known anyone else who is Jewish, they didn’t make it known to me.

Blog time!

I knew a jewish gal from college. Several years ago I helped her pick up a sofa she bought from some crack dealer lookin mfer in the projects around bundy road. She knew I grew up down there and had a truck which is why she had asked me in the first place. Her grandfather was some stupendously rich person but he wasn't into generational wealth (i was shocked) and believed his kids should make theor own money.

We were sitting in my truck on the side of the road close to chef having a conversation that moved to politics. She made some wacky pro hillary comment and I went "well actually" on her. She was floored that I was both conservative and supported Trump. When she asked why I was like bitch look around.

Anyway, we got the sofa from mr. Crack dealer without issue, he looked REALLY familiar so I probably went to school with him and he assumed she was my white gf. I got nervous when she pulled cash out her pocket but he just puffed on his blunt and said thanks and helped me load up the sofa.

Tldr She was cool but was and is a massive hippy.

I know many. Vast majority of them are wonderful people.

My four suitemates in college years ago were all Jewish. For the most part, all of them were good dudes. Used to go eat in their kosher cafeteria once in awhile. I was like the token goyem. Very exclusionary culture, but they're nice about it.

This just popped up on one of my social feeds.. Proof that there are plenty of Jewish dogs in Louisiana !

Went to school in New England (or Tulane) where there was a kosher cafeteria?

Didnt know a single one until we moved to Tampa. Then our son went to private HS with a ton of Jewish folks. Good folks.

maybe? I don't make a habit of asking folks about their religion

I told a joke to a group of friends once and there were a couple other guys around.

"What's the difference between a Jew and a canoe? A canoe will tip."

One guy looked me straight in the face and said "I'm Jewish" all I could say was "I'm sorry"

I think my daughter's high school just outside Lafayette claims to have around 10% Jewish kids. But I don't know any of them.

Birmingham has a very large, established Jewish community here.

Very large? El Paso, Dayton have a larger population
