Mmmm, Jew boys…

i’ve just gotten back to my roots and returned to dating within my faith (i am jewish, therefore, this post is relevant). i went to school in connecticut where i joined a jewish sorority to find some solidarity. moving from long island, an area where there are more jews than the boons of storrs, was a culture shock for me and i was the “lone jew” for a while until i found my sisters. dating jewish boys just seems easier to me, as lazy as that may sound. i don’t have to explain myself when i say a strange yiddish word (the title of this tumblr, perhaps) or eat cous cous or kugel. jewish humor is also an amazing thing. jewish guilt, however, isn’t my favorite. thanks, mom.

I think I learned about Jews when I was about 11. (I was raised an atheist; all I really knew was that going to church was lame but necessary on rare occasions.) From then until age 17 or so I was kind of obsessed with Jewish boys. Give me a ‘fro and a -stein and I was in heaven.

(PS: No, I can date the Jew-love to much earlier. My dad’s business partner was a Zionist. He had a son named Micah who was a year older than me and super-cute. We’d go over to their house for Passover. Just the thought of cardboard matzoh bread gets me hot to this day.)
