- Can I ask about your background?
- I'm Jewish.
- Do you go to synagogue?
- No.
- Do you keep kosher?
- No.
- Well, then you're not really Jewish.
- No, I am Jewish.
- Why?
- Because I know how to make lekach and hamantaschen. Because there are things I can only say in Yiddish or only in Hebrew. Because I know antisemitism firsthand. I’m simply Jewish – that’s all.
