Years ago I remember hearing a radio segment about an American Jew who went to study the Jews of China. He got to know them very well and they welcomed him into their families. He told a story: An old woman he knew there said to him (and I’ll call him Joel; I don’t remember his real name), “Joel, you talk and think like a Jew but you sure don’t look like one.”
So are they called “Chews”?
“Joel, you talk and think like a Jew but you sure don’t look like one.”
That is awesome! I’m a German Jew - my Great Grandpa and his brother fled Germany post WWI, looking for adventure and a better life. They became Lutherans when they landed in America around 1895. Rebels, LOL! My Grandpa was born here in 1913, my Dad in 1937 and me in 1960.
My Maternal side are prim and proper Englishmen/women who showed up here about the same time. How they got together, I’ll never understand, but, love obviously won that round. ;)
Never in a million years would I have thought of a Chinese person converting to Judaism...or even KNOWING of that religion to begin with!
Wow. Just, WOW! :)
