Being one of the only Jewish girls in my group of friends has made me realize certain things about my religion that are different from others. Jewish girls can relate, and friends of Jewish girls can have a good laugh in this list:
1. When your tell your mom you are going to be home at 7:00 and at 7:01 she is ready to call the cops.
2. When all your friends are going out on Friday night so you have to do your best to explain why you can't.
3. When you are on the phone and your friends ask who it is and you say, "It's just my rabbi."
4. When your friends come over to your house, and the first thing your mom asks them is if they are hungry.
5. When you tell your friends that you are in the mood for a falafel and they have no idea what you are talking about
6. When you call someone a mench and they don't know if its a good or bad thing.
7. When your friends not understanding your love for Seinfeld.
8. When nobody understands what you mean by shlep, or shvitz.
9. When you try to explain that you became a woman at 12 because of your bat mitzvah.
10. When you want to get drunk of manischewitz but the frat doesn't have it.
11. When a singer is Jewish, you automatically love him/her.
12. Your friends will never understand your love for challah bread.
13. You can't understand how your friends can live without the words "plotzing" and "oy gevalt."
14. When you try to explain to your friends what shabbat is but they are all convinced that its a type of food.
15. But you love your non Jewish friends and invite them over for shabbat every Friday night.
