@@Honorbound43 I think it's a reference to the movie (and real story) of chariots of fire. It's about Harold Abrahams, an english jew, who ran in the 1924 Olympics and won gold.
Yes it is quite okay AND fun - to make fun of and have fun with our differences and our stereotypes. Sometimes it's true! And its okay to celebrate them - not pretend they dont exist. Who knows - maybe everyone would relax a bit and get along. IN the late 80s on the school bus to middle school :White, Indian, Jew, Arab. That was the majority. And man the slurs, the jokes, everything flew freely and to this day some of us are buddies....and we know how to swear in each language too :) Ended up ok. A smartphone business, a transportation business, a lawyer, and a government employee -- and no - the jew wasn't the one who became the lawyer :) All married, kids, life is ok. We didn't feel "OFFENDED!" and - wait for it ---we ate French fries and burgers and drank soda in school. Oddly don't remember having to run run run during certain drills - we didn't have those. Mind you, dog was spelled without a W ....and pop culture didn't promote angry gestures, tattoos, and violent behavior much either. Oh well, glad those racist horrible days are over. This is much better. 'Peace out" - lol
Jewish isn't a religion, its an ethnoreligion. You can practice as much or as little as you want and still be jewish. It isnt like christianity where you need to do a specific thing or believe a certain thing to be jewish. Its a culture, a set of ethics, AND a religion all at once. There are athiest jews who regularly attend shul, there are jews who never attend, theres others that only go on high holy days. All these people are equally jewish. According to jewish law, if youre mother is jewish, or you convert (or your dad is jewish in reform shuls) then you are legally jewish whether or not you follow kosher, keep shabbat, or attend shul. He is much more "jewish" than the white supremacist right wing jews who preach christian ideals to justify their bigotry. Throughout the show he mentions celebrating so many jewish holidays, as an adult and a child, and his jewishness is clearly important to him.
