So, those who open presents on Dec. 25 and are not Christians are really just celebrating Dec. 25th. I think Festivus and Winter Solstice makes a lot more sense than just opening presents because the Christians are celebrating the birth of Christ. Imagine what would happen if all the Chinese celebrated Christmas on Dec.25? Where would all the Jews go to eat on Dec. 25th. We would have to eat at home, and that is against our religion. ;) |

There are many in this NG that share your political views and they are not routinely dumped on. Most of the time differing points of views are discussed rationally, politely and with respect for one another. In your case it is often very different. You tend to lump everybody who does not subscribe to your POV together (with minor tolerances) and generally treat those in disagreement with distain, punctuated with multiple insults.

Both her family and ours celebrate both our traditional Christmas activities as well as their traditional Jewish traditions and celebrations. It has made the holiday season much more interesting, educational, enjoyable and just plain fun. And the food is awesome. Eisboch |

Observant Jews eat in Kosher restaurants, and while there any Kosher Chinese restaurants, very few of them are. I guess it all depends upon your definition of Observant Jews doesn't it. The Jewish love affair with Chinese food According to a venerable borsht-circuit gag, the Jewish civilization began in 3,000 B.C., and the Chinese civilization began in 2,000 B.C., which proves that Jews can exist without eating Chinese food. The historical accuracy may be flawed, but the joke does underscore the curious passion that American Jews have developed for the Chinese cuisine. That passion, of course, is shared by much of the Occidental world. The distinctive savoriness and varied textures of Chinese food, its sensual appeal, and the unique cooking techniques employed in Chinese kitchens to accentuate flavors and aromas have excited the Western palate and made Chinese cooking universally popular. But nowhere is the infatuation with the Chinese cuisine more intense than in the American Jewish community. Chinese restaurateurs recognize this phenomenon, and their establishments have proliferated in the U.S. wherever there is a sizable Jewish population. The Chinese restaurant has become a durable fixture in most Jewish neighborhoods, almost as commonplace as a kosher butcher shop. The Jewish enchantment with Chinese food has also surfaced in Israel, where Chinese restaurants now compete against falafel stands, European-style delicatessens, and other outlets of traditional Jewish cooking. Actually, there is no single standard Jewish cuisine. Historically, Jews have borrowed the foods of the people among whom they dwell, modified in each case by the requirements of kashrut, the religious dietary laws. As a result, there are various styles of "Jewish cooking": Eastern- and Central-European Ashkenazi types such as Russian-Jewish, Hungarian-Jewish and Romanian-Jewish, plus the Mediterranean or Sephardi-Jewish style of cooking. Chinese cooking features ingredients and techniques that are alien to each of these. For example, the quick-searing and stir-frying cooking methods perfected by the Chinese create new dimensions of taste wholly dissimilar to the potted and stewed meats and vegetables with which most Jews are familiar. The subtle but profound nuances of flavor and aroma emphasized in Chinese food, the exotic vegetables and condiments, and the preoccupation with the textural effects and color of food are virtually unknown in the Jewish kitchen. And yet the Jew finds that the lure of the exotic is eased by the touch of the familiar in the Chinese cuisine. Most significant, the Chinese rarely combine dairy and meat products, a practice prohibited by religious Jewish dietary laws. Omnipresent pots of tea invariably grace the tables of both the Chinese and the Jews. The two cuisines favor such common dishes as chicken broth with rice or noodles, and--with the exception of the Szechuan and Hunanese styles--both have a preference for mild seasonings. Kreplach, a triangular or square dumpling containing chopped meat and usually served in soup, which is a popular Eastern-European Jewish delicacy, is a first cousin to wontons, a Cantonese miniature dumpling used in soup or is deep-fried and eaten as a snack. The taste of stuffed cabbage, another Eastern-European Jewish favorite, resembles the array of sweet and sour dishes prepared by the Chinese. In addition, the noodles or luckshen, which figure prominently in Jewish food, have a counterpart in Chinese lo mein. Going beyond considerations of the table, those seeking explanations for the Jewish passion for Chinese food might find special meanings in certain cultural values shared by both peoples: the strong family structure, the respect for learning, the powerful work ethic. There are even intriguing historical links between the Chinese and the Jews. The first Jews, probably merchants from Persia, visited and settled in China around the year 1,000. Their descendants, Oriental in appearance and bearing Chinese names, continued to practice the Jewish religion. In the 13th Century, Marco Polo found several influential Jews at the court of Kubla Khan. Four centuries later, a Jewish mandarin rebuilt a synagogue in the city of Kaifeng, which had been originally constructed hundreds of years earlier. Built like two adjacent Buddhist temples, the synagogue fell into disuse as the community disappeared during the 18th and 19th Centuries. An exquisite model of the Kaifeng synagogue now stands in Beit Hafutzot, the Museum of the Diaspora in Tel Aviv. Although such bits of historical and sociological evidence demonstrate that there is a cultural affinity between the Chinese and Jewish peoples, it is highly unlikely that any of these factors have had a profound culinary impact. The Jewish love for Chinese food is essentially an American phenomenon. It has probably been fostered by the ease with which the intricacies of the Chinese cuisine can be adapted to religious Jewish dietary rules. |

There are many in this NG that share your political views and they are not routinely dumped on. Most of the time differing points of views are discussed rationally, politely and with respect for one another. In your case it is often very different. You tend to lump everybody who does not subscribe to your POV together (with minor tolerances) and generally treat those in disagreement with distain, punctuated with multiple insults. It's not what you think, it's how you express it to others. Eisboch Whatever. If that is agreement, then it is contrary to what you said earlier. But, that could be a good thing.

Look at your statement above: "Most of the jackals are permanent members..." If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same message across, but without the personal insult. It's not that difficult. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals. You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish greatly. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John We say "Chanukah Sameach" to each other, and Merry Christmas to goys who celebrate Christmas. I guess to some we should just say, I hope you got some nice presents for Dec. 25th. No, it would be, "Hope you get some nice presents for Winter Solstice." -- I think you should only say that if they celebrate on the Winter Solstice, in 2008 that would be Dec. 21st, on the 22nd in 2009 and the 23rd in 2010, when it would go back to Dec. 21. So, those who open presents on Dec. 25 and are not Christians are really just celebrating Dec. 25th. I think Festivus and Winter Solstice makes a lot more sense than just opening presents because the Christians are celebrating the birth of Christ. Imagine what would happen if all the Chinese celebrated Christmas on Dec.25? Where would all the Jews go to eat on Dec. 25th. We would have to eat at home, and that is against our religion. ;) Now that's something I didn't know. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John Sure, just go by any Chinese restaurant on Dec.25th and you will find all the restaurant full of Jews. It is a tradition that goes back almost 6000 yrs. ;) http://dragon.soc.qc.cuny.edu/Staff/...20Chinese.html If you are seeing Jews in "any Chinese restaurant," they certainly are not observant Jews. Observant Jews eat in Kosher restaurants, and while there any Kosher Chinese restaurants, very few of them are. PS - There are more sects and diverse opinion among those who consider themselves Jewish than there are among Christians. Yet, all of them consider themselves observant Jews. Are you now going to tell Jews that the only ones who can be considered "Observant Jews" are those who observe all 613 mitzvot? If so, you would not find one Jew in the entire world. I do find it funny that you, who said you are not Jewish, know more about the Chosen People than most Jews. There is an old joke that if you locked a 100 rabbis in a room and they would not be let out until they had written a book on what it means to be Jewish, they could not agree on the first sentence. I grew up in a city that at the time had a very high percentage of Jews, and am more than a little familiar with Jewish observances, customs, traditions, et cetera. The observant Jews were the Orthodox and Conservative "sect" Jews, the ones who went to synagogues on Friday nights and Saturdays, who kept Kosher, and whose children went to Hebrew school several times a week, among other things. I'm not discussing "cultural" Jews. Of course, I know nothing about Atlanta Jews. Are you Jewish Harry? Yes or no? My personal religious affiliation is none of your business. Are you ashamed of your religion? |

What a blast we all have at this time of year celebrating both Christmas and Chanukah. Both her family and ours celebrate both our traditional Christmas activities as well as their traditional Jewish traditions and celebrations. It has made the holiday season much more interesting, educational, enjoyable and just plain fun. And the food is awesome. Eisboch That is cool! -- Salmonbait |

I'm not discussing "cultural" Jews. Of course, I know nothing about Atlanta Jews. Are you Jewish Harry? Yes or no? No he isn't. He just wants to define what it means to be an Observant Jew. In America only about 15% of those who consider themselves active practicing Jews (those who regularly go to shul, temple or synagogue) keep Kosher year round. A much larger percent will keep kosher for the high holy days, (Chanukah is not a high holiday), but Harry's knowledge of Judaism is a vast as all of his other knowledge. It is one of the benefits of getting a excellent liberal arts education from Univ. of Kansas. My former next door neighbor an observant Jew got me a Rosary blessed by Pope Benny when he was over in Rome. If you don't believe me you can stop by and see the picture of my neighbor Pope Benny and a bunch of other members of BOD of the National B'nai Brith. Historically there have been problems between Judaism and the Vatican. A very sensitive one with many Jews is they way the Vatican handled the Nazi's and the holocaust. The Pope has stated he would like to heal some wounds between the two faiths, and i would assume the B'Nai Brith visit was related to this in some fashion. By the way, according to Harry's definition, if your neighbor has ever eaten or had a drink at your house, even if he strictly ate "Kosher" foods, he is not a observant Jew. Your house is not kept Kosher, so if he ate anything in your house, he was not observing Kosher Law, hence he is not really a Jew. ;) |

Good Grief Harry! There is more to this world than that in your little corner of experiences. So far, you've defined Jews and Christians as it should be according to Harry. Wanna go for Muslims and Buddhists next? Eisboch |
