ANTISEMITISM

[sally]

You know what's weird... (boring story alert)

My mom has always told me how my dad's family was Jewish, she even took me to a synagogue once and we spent some time with the rabbi.

My father died when I was two and we had zero contact with his side of the family. And when I say zero contact, it never even occurred to me that I had first cousins from several of his sisters of whom I was also unaware.

So, I found a first cousin on one of the DNA sites. She's an elderly lady of 81 but she's still very sharp. I told her how surprised I was that we had never met since she and her family also lived in San Diego when I was a child. I guess that was my mother's doing. In any case, in one of her long emails, she mentioned having a pork pie. I thought that was curious so I asked her about being Jewish and... she didn't know a thing about it. Which you'd think she would have considering it sounds like it was a tight knit family.

What the fuck. My mother even gave me a Star of David necklace even though we were Catholic. Good thing I think organized religion is a load of horseshit or I'd be kind of annoyed that I was deceived my entire life.

Does your hair go gray? If not then you have Jew blood running through your veins.
