Am I a Jew?

Am I a Jew?? Do I look like a Jew? Do I act like one? hmmm... maybe I dressed like one...

Well... I was just coming out of the Bed, Bath, & Beyond store on 6th Ave when an approximately 10 year old Hasidic Jewish boy came up to me with a small box in hand and asked me, "Are you Jewish?"... I wasn't too sure if I heard correctly so I politely said, "Excuse me?" with a small gentle smile. He asked me again, "Are you Jewish?" This time around, my small gentle smile stretched from ear to ear and I replied, "No." The boy then said, "Oh.. okay, then have a good day." He went away kinda disappointed... LOL...!! I then crossed the street and just kept on walking... I couldn't help but smile and wonder at what just happend. I then looked down at myself and realized that I was dressed in what seemed to be all black in the evening... plus, I had a small goatee... I must have looked Jewish to him... as I made way towards Union Square... there was a bunch of young Hasidic Jews celebrating Hanuka... they had a mobile truck projecting Jewish music from the Union Square park... later that evening, I saw the same truck parade around the area...

Wow... first I looked hispanic... now I look Jewish... LOL...!! For a moment... I was starting to wonder if my heavily Hasidic neighborhood started to rub off on me... LOL...!!
