I met some transplant chick and when she moved to nyc she was surprised at how much Jews she have seen and met. She even asked if I was Jewish due to the fact I have a Hebrew first name.

No need to disrespect ppls religions and call it a superstition even if you don't believe it.

But to the OP this is the Jew Mecca outside of Isreal of course their accepted here

Not in my experience. I travel throughout the United States and a few people would tell me (when the conversation arose) that they had never met a Jew. When I told them there was one standing in front of them, most would simply respond, "Oh" or "Really?" No suspicious looks or crude comments.

Most of the anti-semetic comments I have heard have been since I returned to live in the NYC area. I guess if a certain non-Jew has a bad experience with a Jew, the racist, stereotypical comments start a flying. Since the NYC area is so heavily populated by Jews, those type of incidents are more likely to occur than in place like Mobile, Alabama.

All in all, Jews are an accepted part of NYC.

I love bacon, too, but pastrami is not the same thing!

You can have both (well, those of us who are not Jewish can anyway).

Since the poster had to include the childish bit about religion being superstition, I doubt he'd care about what Jesus ate any more than he would about what a modern Jewish person ate.

That is funny, but Jewish names are used by a lot of gentiles just by virtue of the fact that they appear in the bible.

My own great-grandfather's name was Hiram.

In the Simpsons episode where Krusty the Klown is reunited with his estranged dad, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the Krusty special sandwich in the deli consists of ham, sausage, and bacon with mayonnaise--on white bread!!!!!

It's one of my favorite episodes.

Jewish humor? Great.

But Milton Berle? Not funny.
