I was never really around anyone Jewish until I moved to San Diego. NorCal, Midwest, not many Jewish folks and I don’t even remember meeting one there.
But immediately upon arriving in SD I met several and have continuously had many in my circle of friends ever since.
A small sign that didn’t even register: my company stocked my home with food for me when I moved here, and in my fridge was my very first package of bagels. I had never had one before.
Now they are a part of my diet.
The Jewish population intrigues me and we get along very well – not sure why. I don’t exactly have them figured out yet, going on 20 years now. One thing I have noticed is that they are very open and in tune with their sexuality. That’s a trait I had not anticipated. I always hear about the stereotypical money and doctors aspects, but no one talks about their open-ness with their sexual side.
