jewdar

a nonexistent ability that people claim to have. such people believe they can "sense" a Jew. obviously this is impossible unless the Jew has the distinctive hairstyle of the Orthodox sect or is wearing a yarmulke, since Jews aren't another race and look just like everyone else.

some guy: according to my jewdar, you're Jewish.
me: yeah, and the fact that I'm wearing a star of david had nothing to do with it. shmuck.

Judaism

the first monotheistic religion, basis of two of today's other major religions (Christianity and Islam). The Jewish holy book is the Torah, which is the basis for the Christian Old Testament. Judaism, except in its orthodox form, is probably the most accepting and loosest of the major religions of the Western Hemisphere. Sadly, its followers have been persecuted and ridiculed throughout the ages, and have always been misunderstood by the ignorant.

yes, I am a Jew. and to those of you who have said we are going to hell, remember that there is only one true judge of that, so don't be so arrogant as to put yourself in that position.

Jewishmish

As has already been said, this holiday is completely fictitious. there is no such thing, because Jewish/Christians, like Messianic Jews, really don't exist, and for a much simpler reason than heritage: you either beleive in Christ, or you don't. sorta hard to halfway that one.

If you believe Jesus is your savior, you are not half-Jewish, you are all-Christian. maybe non-denominational, but still CHristian. also, having a Jewish relative other than your mother does not make you Jewish.

yiddish

bastard language of Hebrew and German, used because until recently the Hebrew language was not conducive to conversation. every word is filled with untranslatable connotations, which makes it an excellent swearing language. also holds the most potent insult in the world: paskudnyak

spoken often in New York without actual knowledge of meanings. Almost always heard in combination with English.

Classic yiddish words: shlep, schmuck, klutz, mensch, bagel, and the wonderful -nik nouns (beatnik, nogoodnik...)
