I had never heard of a Jewish farmer until this.

Jewish farmers and black hockey-players... now those are REAL minorities.

You're both forgetting your Jewish history. Biblical Israel was highly agricultural and a great deal of Halakhah deals with agricultural matters, tithes, sacrifices,offerings, etc. These laws are still studied in minute detail by even the most urban Orthodox Jews.

Of course, the strange fact is that this aspect of Judaism is not looked upon as "Jewish" but as simply part of our common religious heritage. It's this de-Judaification of the Bible and de-Biblicization of the Jews that lies at the heart of much of our modern dilemma.

LOL! I knew someone would just HAVE to 'correct' me.

Thanks for the info. It is not my failing memory so much as it is not being exposed to all that. The history as told in the Old Testament I ignored as too far in the past to be relevant, reflecting instead on my own experience.
