They say we Jews are mean, greedy and all we think about is money. I wish I had five pounds for every time I've heard that.

If my Catholic boyfriend and I ever have a kid, we'll just be honest with it. We'll say that Mommy is one of God's chosen people, and Daddy believes that Jesus is magic!

The only advantage I have found in being Jewish is that I can be openly anti-Semitic.

Who hates the Jews more than the Jew?

As everyone knows, where there are two Jews there are three opinions.

It is a family joke that when I was a tiny child I turned from the window out of which I was watching a snowstorm, and hopefully asked, 'Momma, do we believe in winter?'

I suppose the nearest equivalent to a bar mitzvah in terms of emotional build-up would probably not even be one's wedding day, but one's coronation.

For me this is the vital litmus test: no intellectual society can flourish where a Jew feels even slightly uneasy.
