Jewish Culture

¶ … interviewing two Jewish people, a man and woman, it was obvious there are different lifestyles that they live by. One was very strict and went by all of the Jewish customs while the other one only observed a few of them. It was also made clear that Jewish people are no different from anyone except a few beliefs and customs. The gentleman and lady had very normal childhoods and went to regular public schools.

Therefore, by interviewing these Jewish people have extremely normal lives except for a few beliefs and customs, which might make them, stand out from others. During the interviewing of the gentleman, Jason Stein, it was learn that he grew up in a normal Jewish home where everything was strict. For example, all of the food to be kosher which meant his family and him could not go out for dinner.

This was because if a Jewish home was going to keep all kosher food, it was against their beliefs that they should eat any other types of foods. In that case, when Jason was in grammar school, he had taken his lunch to school but like other children that was not unusual. Therefore, from the interview with Jason, it is clear that Jewish people live normal lives even though they different beliefs and customs from other religions.

It is true that Jason's parents are very financially stable which most people stenotype Jewish families to be that way. Even though his family Had money, they lived like it. They always bought the good clothes and other things of that nature. The fact is that Jason and his family did not go overboard with their expenses like some people would think. Therefore, he lives a normal life with some different beliefs and customs from other religions.

However, after interviewing Rachael Goldberg, the young lady, it seems that not all Jewish people go by the book and live by strict beliefs. For example, unlike Jason, Rachael's family did not keep a kosher home. This was due to the fact her financially stable parents wanted her brothers and her to be able to go out and have dinner with their friends along with being a kid without having strict religious to worry about.

Due to her parents' understanding of being young, Rachael and her brothers went against some strict Jewish customers and pork when they were with their friends. Jewish people belief the pig is unclean; therefore, they think it is wrong.
