I am always amazed and many times disgusted by peoples reactions when they find out that I am not only Jewish but I am a practicing Jew.I have had Oh my G-d you don't look Jewish at all to you aren't rich aren't you all rich.When one of my coworkers saw my star of David necklace she said very horrified, You are Jewish??as if she just found out I was an ax murder.
@@tonks78oh yeah? Try being so poor you had to eat your own shoes! Oh yeah?try being so poor you had no shoes to eat, and you were forced to steal shoes from your neighbors and eat those shoes. Oh yeah? Try being so poor your neighbors didn’t even have shoes and you had to eat their socks!
Странно...Какие-то родители у него были запуганные. Когда я был подростком, послушал кассету с сёстрами Берри и задал тот же вопрос, мне мои сразу сказали, что поют они на идиш, т.е. по-еврейски)))
yes, так и у меня біло, и у многих наверно, Когда я спрашивал маму, когда она разговаривала на Идише, на каком языке она говорит, ответ был "на немецком"
With some people i will say a few probing things ...to test the waters ...see how my jewishness goes down with them...i have heard this story a lot from Jews in Russia and Eastern Europe ...almost not being aware of it in soviet times..or knowing much about judaism ..or jewish culture ..i think it's why lubbewitch chabad became so strong at first there and was able to understand the same issue in the USA.
My sister used to find a way to quickly tell people she was Jewish before she heard them say something bad about Jews. My brother's wife is very blond with big blue eyes and very Jewish. One day he told somebody that they we are Jews and this moron said to him. You can't be Jewish; your wife is blond .... the stupidity is gobsmacking sometimes.

Павел, у вас чисто сефардская фамилия и внешность тоже очень сефардская. У вас был идиш в семье ?

Немецкие девушки страшные, а «Бэрри» симпатяги. Делаем вывод.
сестры Берри евреи из Америки, а их родители из Украины
