last night i was the only one to light candles in my family. im very disappointed in them.
see, in my family, candle lighting is a big thing. we light the electric menorah to go on the window (no fire on the window due to two dogs). then my younger brother, my parents, and myself, each light our own menorahs. mine i bought for my bat mitzvah, my brother made his in hebrew school, and my parents' is a family hierloom. its a big tradition that we light them all together and watch till they burn out.
only this year everyones been so busy that i was the only one who stayed with the candles the other night, and last night we didnt light as a family at all

Count me in among the bad Jews. I'm not Jewish by religion at all. Only by heritage and culture. I keep some of the traditions but lately I haven't even been lighting candles. I'm a Jew girl all the way but without the religious bits.
Me too. Jew-ish.

Damnit, I am SO politically incorrect...
Anyone wanna trade JAP jokes? My Brooklyn-born Jewish best friend of >30 years taught me a bunch of 'em, as did a former self-proclaimed JAP student (after she was no longer a student, lol!).

I seem to recall a few from my days working for a firm that was owned by Jews and tended to hire lots of Jews. My best sources for JAP jokes was a pair of princesses who worked there. They were completely merciless on the sisterhood.

Sorry, MIS! I bet your parents are thinking you won't miss it, since you and your brother are getting older. Tell them to hold their horses on that!

I'm ambivalent. I don't think I know any.

I think they're funny (to me) primarily because not a single JAP (or potential JAP, i.e., a Jewish girl who didn't do the "princess" thing) I've ever known has fit the stereotype in any way. So for me, it's more an irony thing.

Sorry, that didn't really come out how I meant it!

I'm sure there are some who fit the stereotype - after all, that's how stereotypes are born! Then again, my sampling may be somewhat flawed. After all, most of the JAPs/potential JAPs I've known were either in a rather free-wheeling portion of the college matrix or in the BDSM culture... and neither of those lends itself to perpetuation of the stereotype; they more accurately would contain a sample of girls who did *not* fit it.

This may or may not be the best place to share this story, but I hope it will do. On Christmas Day, Jewish volunteers upheld a 15-year tradition of serving at Our Daily Bread shelter in Baltimore on Christmas.
Nugget: Running out of money to buy food, David P. Anderson was among the first to file into the dining room yesterday at Our Daily Bread. Behind him, dozens waited in line on Christmas morning as Anderson sat down to a turkey dinner and reached first for the cranberry relish.
But it wasn't until he was walking out of the downtown Baltimore soup kitchen that Anderson learned who had prepared the meal and served it to him.
For the 15th year, members of the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation stepped in so the usual volunteers, several of them Christians, could celebrate Christmas Day at home with their families.
"That's beautiful," said Anderson, 54, a disabled shipyard worker who lives in Cherry Hill.
