  • You strike me as like British, Irish, Scottish.
  • Why does that matter?
  • There was a time in history when a lot of Jews needed to leave other parts of Europe, but not those ones.
  • And so being here in America, I don't think I'm as Jewish.
  • Hello.
  • Hello.
  • What's your name?
  • What do you do?
  • My name is Jacob.
  • I'm the Director of Experiential Jewish Life at a synagogue here in Seattle.
  • How religious are you?
  • Religious is a tough question, because it's like, do I go to synagogue every single Friday night and Saturday morning?
  • No. When I go, do I enjoy myself?
  • Absolutely.
  • Do I keep kosher?
  • Not right now, but in general, I do.
  • So it's hard to answer.
  • I consider myself a fully embodied Jew, though.
  • I live it out daily.
  • Today, you're gonna guess who's Jewish.
  • What are stereotypes of Jewish people?
  • Stereotypes.
  • That's a challenging question to answer.
  • Why's that?
  • Because there's a lot of anti-Semitism going on right now.
  • Have you ever experienced anti-Semitism?
  • Yeah, certainly.
  • Growing up in school, I was called the Jew.
  • I had swastikas drawn on some of my textbooks, and people would throw pennies and quarters, and go, aren't you gonna pick it, don't you wanna pick it up?
  • It was not pleasant.
  • Are you nervous at all?
  • Yeah.
  • I feel the weight of my people on my shoulders.
  • Yeah, absolutely.
  • And if nothing else, my dad's approval is resting on this.
  • Is your dad at the synagogue right now?
  • In this moment?
  • I believe so, yeah.
  • It is Shabbat, very soon, yeah.
  • Very soon, are you gonna make it?
  • We'll see, it depends on how long we take here.
  • You ready?
  • I think so.
  • Hi,
  • I'm Jacob.
  • Emma.
  • Those are nice matzah ball hands, I can see.
  • Definitely, yeah.
  • Jacob.
  • Gabe.
  • Gabe.
  • Ahmed.
  • Ahmed, nice to meet you.
  • Nice to meet you.
  • Maya, nice to meet you.
  • Jordan.
  • Jordan, nice to meet you.
  • And what was your name?
  • Reem, sorry, I was stomping.
  • Yeah, no worries.
  • Nice to meet you all.
  • Emma, you can come on out.
  • And there's one Jew amongst them, correct?
  • No. Oh, oh, oh my gosh.
  • Okay, it could be any number, yeah.
  • If it was one, that would actually, I think, be easier for me.
  • Really?
  • I mean, yeah.
  • If there was one Jewish person here, who would it be?
  • Gabe.
  • So, your appearance to me, you strike me as, like, British, Irish, Scottish.
  • Why does that matter?
  • There was a time in history when a lot of Jews needed to leave other parts of Europe, but not those ones.
  • And so, being here in America, there's a lot more Jews of German descent than, say, British.
  • Do you have a favorite Seinfeld episode?
  • No, but my husband does.
  • Have you, did you ever watch Seinfeld?
  • Okay, so if I was to say, like, sheket, b'vaka, shah.
  • No. Cool.
  • I don't think Emma's Jewish.
  • There's a few cultural pieces that just aren't locking in to make the whole picture scream Jewish to me.
  • Are you Jewish?
  • Yes.
  • Whoa!
  • Dang.
  • Wow.
  • But I'm a convert.
  • Ah, okay.
  • So that's where it comes in.
  • Oh, dang, that's the curve ball.
  • If you asked a little more religious questions, I think you could've gotten me.
  • Yeah, dang, that's the trick, too, because people who convert are really, really into it, usually, and there's a reason they make that choice.
  • Yeah, and also, I didn't grow up Jewish, so I don't know your kids' song.
  • Yeah, dang, that was my bad.
  • What made you want to join the tribe?
  • I majored in religious studies in college, and I just fell in love with it.
  • Did you convert locally, with Rabbi Kadin?
  • Yes.
  • Cool.
  • Awesome.
  • I love Rabbi Kadin.
  • Yeah, he's a great guy.
  • I have a chronic illness and disability that was really tough for me, and when I was really, really sick and, like, not able to leave my house, Rabbi Kadin came and visited me, and he gave me, like, a book of prayers,
  • And that was really meaningful for me, and just having the community notice that I was gone and send me their love and their prayers, it was really important to me.
  • That's amazing.
  • It's kind of like speed dating a little bit.
  • I like it.
  • Next person.
  • It was Reem, right?
  • Yes.
  • Yeah, so I see dark, curly hair, definitely a Middle Eastern thing of Arab descent, I presume.
  • Yes.
  • Yeah, this is just making me realize just the whiteness of the Jewish communities I'm a part of.
  • If I was in Israel and grew up in Israel, I might have more connections with Arab Jewish people.
  • I don't have too many, and so it's hard to say just based off of the visual.
  • What did your parents want you to do when you were growing up, like, as far as career?
  • Be a lawyer.
  • Yeah, I know that lawyer thing.
  • My mom is the same way.
  • I wanted to, and then I worked as a paralegal, and I hated it, and I was like, ugh.
  • Yeah, it's a lot.
  • Do you have a favorite Yiddish word?
  • Baklava.
  • Baklava.
  • I don't believe that's Yiddish, but great.
  • You ready to make your guess on that?
  • Well, you had me for a second with the mom wanting you to be a lawyer, because that's a pretty traditionally Jewish, I think that's actually from Torah, you know?
  • But not knowing any Yiddish, and not knowing that baklava isn't Yiddish, I'm gonna say probably not Jewish.
  • You are correct.
  • Cool.
  • I am not Jewish.
  • I'm a Muslim.
  • Muslim, cool.
  • But, that's enough.
  • Yeah, very close.
  • Like, they're so similar.
  • Salaam alaikum, shalom aleichem, I mean.
  • Absolutely.
  • My dad's whole side was actually from Palestine, so as I'm learning more about my culture and Palestine, I'm also learning more about Judaism.
  • You hear so much stereotypes, honestly, that Muslims and Jewish people don't like each other, and I just don't get it.
  • There was a long history in that region of Jews and Arabs and Muslims living side by side, and like, not just peace, but celebration and cultural sharing and everything, and so let's try to go back there.
  • Yeah, here.
  • Can I give you a hug?
  • Look at that.
  • Gabe, come on down.
  • All right.
  • Definitely the curly hair.
  • If you were to be longer, we'd call it a Jewfro.
  • It's borderline that already.
  • You got the Ashkenazic scruff.
  • I mean, look at this.
  • I mean, come on.
  • When going to Friday night services, front, middle, or back section?
  • Back.
  • Jews get to synagogue early to get the back row seats.
  • I think you're Jewish.
  • I am not.
  • You're not?
  • Wait.
  • But, have you been to Friday night services?
  • My church did services all throughout the weekend.
  • Church, cool.
  • I should have said at the synagogue, yeah.
  • You definitely look stereotypically very Jewish.
  • I do.
  • The reason for the hair specifically is I'm ethnically a mixed race.
  • My dad's black, my mom's white, so I have the same kind of hair as also in mixed kids.
  • Fascinating.
  • I do actually get mistaken for Jewish fairly often.
  • Yeah, I'm not surprised.
  • I mean, have you experienced anti-Semitism?
  • I have, actually, so I do a lot of political work, and I've specifically just gotten messages that were just slurs or the more grosser tropes and stuff like that.
  • Wow.
  • Ask him if he's ever thought about coming over.
  • Yeah, have you?
  • I mean, you looked the part already.
  • Like, you'd be welcomed in.
  • I mean, have you ever thought about just making the jump?
  • I haven't, but I appreciate the offer.
  • Give me a snip, you know?
  • I'm all good there.
  • This is different than I expected.
  • This is fun.
  • Ahmed, come on down.
  • I'm seeing a nice dark beard.
  • Could be a Jewish beard for sure.
  • It's nicely groomed, so maybe not.
  • A little too well-dressed for most Jews that I know, honestly.
  • I like the shirt a lot.
  • Thank you.
  • Are you from Seattle originally, or are you from around here?
  • So my grandparents were, they were born in what was called Palestine before the establishment of Israel, and then they moved to Egypt, and then I was born in Kuwait, and then my family moved to Turkey,
  • And then I moved to the U.S. Wow.
  • Yeah, just based on the lineage alone, my guess is that you're not Jewish.
  • I'm not.
  • I do have some Jewish ancestry in me, and what's called Mizrahim, or Middle Eastern Jewish people.
  • For sure.
  • Yeah, I mean, when I did 23andMe, I got back 99.9% Ashkenazic Jewish, but the 0.1 was Coptic Egyptian, so we have a little something in common.
  • How did you come to know about this?
  • My parents never told me anything about our ancestry.
  • All I know is we're Palestinian, and we were displaced during 1948, but there was a specific term for Palestinian Jews who were living there before 1948, and a lot of people were hiding their identity,
  • Including my grandma, because of fear of persecution.
  • Wow.
  • I was racially profiled as a Jew growing up.
  • Fascinating.
  • When I was in Jordan, everybody was calling me a spy, an Israeli spy.
  • Oh, so other Arab people thought that you were Jewish?
  • Yes, that I was Jewish.
  • Palestinians, even.
  • They were like, oh, are you Israeli?
  • Are you Jewish?
  • You speak Hebrew.
  • Fascinating.
  • So why did you learn Hebrew?
  • I wanted to understand the history of the Palestinian-Israeli war, and I believe when you learn the language of a group of people, you can communicate with them, and that helps in reaching a resolution and learning that we are more similar than different.
  • Beautiful.
  • Hi, Maya.
  • What did your parents want you to be growing up?
  • Whatever I wanted.
  • Good parents.
  • Yeah.
  • Do you have a favorite Yiddish word?
  • Shmuck.
  • Atme de bergrit?
  • Yeah, atme de bergrit.
  • Ah.
  • I think I know.
  • You have an Israeli accent.
  • I'm gonna say you're Jewish.
  • I am?
  • Yes, yeah.
  • Did you grow up in Israel at all?
  • Did you spend time there?
  • My parents are Israeli.
  • I visited nearly every year, and for the last five years, I've been living near Tel Aviv.
  • Wow, okay.
  • What's it like being an American Jewish person living in Israel?
  • I got the nickname Amerikakit from time to time.
  • Like little American shit.
  • Yeah.
  • It's an Israeli term of endearment.
  • It's a term of affection.
  • Yeah, right.
  • I'm embarrassed about my Hebrew just because I butchered the feminine, masculine, whatever.
  • It's cool.
  • Yeah,
  • So.
  • How do I look?
  • First off, you look great.
  • Oh, thank you.
  • Yeah, I'm just gonna name the elf in the room.
  • Not a lot of black Jews, right?
  • I do have black Jewish friends.
  • There are Jewish communities in Africa, especially in Ethiopia and whatnot, so they do exist, but it's not a super common thing.
  • So that's, I mean, I would say on the purely visual side of things, that's what's standing out to me the most.
  • But I'd love to get to know you.
  • Yeah, where'd you grow up?
  • I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago.
  • South suburbs, okay.
  • North suburbs are the Jewish ones, so south suburbs could go either way.
  • I can't concur.
  • Do you spend much time in north suburbs?
  • I have family who lives up there currently.
  • I have family in those suburbs as well.
  • Okay.
  • So you have like Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah.
  • How would you say that last one?
  • Hanukkah.
  • How do you spell it?
  • With a C-H. With a C-H, cool.
  • I think Jordan's Jewish.
  • What I was looking for, what I was hoping for was a Hanukkah, but I also know that not all Jews are gonna say Hanukkah like that, and he also doesn't wanna give it away.
  • For me, it's the C-H as a spelling.
  • Like, I just have a feeling that if you're Jewish and you see it, more C-H, maybe H, but the C-H for me was a thing.
  • I am Jewish.
  • My dad and his whole side of the family are Jewish.
  • Cool.
  • I wouldn't say that I identify as being very religious, nor does anyone in my family, so I did not get bar mitzvahed or anything, but I did very much grow up celebrating Hanukkah, Passover, Yom Kippur,
  • Rosh Hashanah, all those things, and it's so much so that if we have friends over, my mom grabs multiple menorahs for everybody, so everyone lights their own candles.
  • I went to BBYO for a couple years as well when I moved out here, so.
  • Yeah, so you did Jewish youth group growing up.
  • Like, with this, like, Jewish aspect and your skin tone, like, how did that, did that, like?
  • The elephant in the room?
  • I mean, yeah, I mean, how did it feel being, I'm assuming one of the fewer African American folks.
  • I was the only one there.
  • I've been called Drake before, as well as Lenny Kravitz.
  • Yep.
  • That was, that's about it.
  • Those are almost compliments of that.
  • I mean, I'll take, definitely, depending on what Drake you're talking about.
  • Right.
  • How was that for you?
  • Really uncomfortable, right off the bat, from the top.
  • I mean, I was initially, like, my own internal biases were just put right front and center.
  • A lot of the, at least the Jewish communities I've been a part of are primarily white, and don't take into account the fact that not everyone there was raised or grew up Jewish in the same way that the people who are really running the show were,
  • And that Jews come from a lot of different parts of the world.
  • I mean, I realized very quickly that my visual assessment was based on the, like, European descent, the Ashkenazic Jewish complexion, when there are tons of Jews from other parts of the world that don't look like that or don't look like me,
  • And so this was a huge learning and growth moment for me, and it's expanding my world view and Jew view, I guess, as well.
  • Thank you.
  • Yeah, likewise, nice to meet you all, yeah.
  • Yeah.
  • Oh, no shit, no shit, yeah.
