I pick up her jar of
pickles
and absentmindedly
think
aloud "How can a pickle not be
kosher
? If I recall correctly, most of the kosher/
terefah
issues have to do with
meat
and
animals
anyway . . . oh well."
"I think it's some
Jewish thing
,"
she drawled.
"It matters to them, but it don't mean nothin' to us."
This really
got on my nerves
for two reasons. The first thing was that I could have been a
Jew
myself, albeit an underinformed one, seeing as how I didn't know how a pickle could be terefah. (Hey, I have known so-called Christians who knew less than that about their
religion
.) The second thing was the way she said "it matters to them, but it don't mean nothin' to us." A
cannibal
tribe could say the same about our
culture
frowning on
human flesh
consumption.
This also really made my
faith
in my fellow townsfolk plummet. I hoped to
God
that she was just a fluke and that the rest of the members of my
community
were not as
ignorant
as she.
Just in case she knew anything at all, I hummed "
Hava Nagila
" while I finished bagging her
groceries
.
