how many jewish people do you know?

so spinoff of the mormon thread.....

and curiosity sake: is "jews" okay (PC) to say? if it's not, i will delete it, but am just wondering.

[kwpnjumper55]

I know quite a few

[jennlin]

i definitely did not know very many jewish people growing up. i think i only knew 1 person (and his sister) while i was in school. i know a few now, but they live on the east coast.

i definitely knew more mormons growing up.

I don't think I met a jewish person until I started school at UW. I hung out at the Jewish frat on occasion, because they served the best drinks :drink:

Off hand I'd say around 20?

I know a lot, but mostly from college or high school back East.

MIL and SFIL live in Seward Park, they have one friend I've met who's Jewish. That's the only person I've met from here. I know more mormons than Jews locally

I knew one growing up but there must have been more as they had a synogogue and it's not like they would be the only family. I knew a lot more in college (and I went to PLU). Don't know as many now, but one very evident one at my work.

A small handful.

I don't know many, and I don't know what the pc term is.

Fairly large population in AK and I went to school and hung out with at least 10-12.

I used to work at an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish school in Seattle. So, I guess a lot? I am not Jewish.

I knew several Jewish families growing up.

My step dad grew up with a Jewish mom and a Christian dad. He grew up in NYC and has interesting stories! I work with several Jewish people. My friend's husband is Jewish and from NY. I had 3 Jewish students last year. MS is bringing in a lot of people from Israel.
