So, maybe this is a strange question, are you actually Jewish or just open to different holidays? You do have the cute, curly hair...

First of all, what does curly hair have to do with being Jewish? Both my husband and my girlfriend have curly hair and their not Jewish. My grandfather had straight hair and was Jewish.

to answer your question, I am culturally jewish, but I do not believe in the religion. Therefore I celebrate what i consider to be the cultural holidays.

Well, I certainly didn't mean to imply everyone who has curly hair is Jewish, but the majority (though certainly not all) of the people who I know are Jewish have curly hair. I was more going off the making of tzimines though, and mostly just teasing about the hair.

As for culturally jewish I can understand that--I'm not religious but I was raised with the xmas/thanksgiving/easter egg hunt stuff and consider it more family tradition than anything.

my ex girlfriend was there as well. I forget what exactly she was doing and if she presented anything or not. Dr. Sarah Bowman, I think she said she was doing something on role-playing.
