I wasn’t raised very religiously but my extended family all is and this is definitely not something they (or anyone else I’ve ever known) has observed.

"Make no mistake, I'm not offended by any of it. Just pointing out the 'having your cake and eating it to" of it all. That's all. I haven't seen the piece, so not commenting on the actual play. I totally get when black people hang out they're gonna call their one white friend their white friend, duh, get that. I'm just saying if it were the opposite we'd all be up in arms and canceling the production. That's all. Moving on. "

Exactly !! I say this being the one white guy on a basketball team many years ago and I will note I was not the "token" guy at the end of the bench . In other words, I had skills - ha ha.

"And? Did anyone say anything disparaging about him?"

No a poster said he/she loved him and I think poster was just saying he might read that since he reads the posts on BWW.

most jews don't observe Jewish law, which was codified at a time when The Church was considered evil idolatry. Orthodox Jews do not go to churches, some at all, and some just not for religious ceremonies (and I would think that whether a funeral/wedding qualifies as a religious ceremony would depend on the individual person/rabbi/interpretation). Doesn't strike me as strange at all that religious people of one religion would have a tradition of avoiding attending/ another's. I am pretty sure its a similar story in Islam. 

But its irrelevant to this play: they announce up front that Logan has never been in a synagogue in his life. He wouldn't have any idea of any Jewish tradition and it certainly doesnt play a role in how he sees the goings on around him- he thinks the Bible is arranged alphabetically.

Huh?? We’re Jews, not Vampires."

Speak for yourself.
