Jewish Dramatics

we all know that the Jewish people are known to be a bit, well, dramatic. this isn't to say that other faiths and religions and people aren't allowed to be just as dramatic, it's just that Jewish people to seem to have a flair for getting more upset, more angry, more sad, more everything than your average, everyday human being. we're just entertaining that way.

now, take being Jewish and mash it up with being 20something and well, HOLD ON TO YER YAMAKAS. to showcase the vast difference between Jewish people's everyday actions and reactions compared to the non-Jewish, i asked my good friend (who, coincidentally, is the calmest person i know) to help demonstrate some situations with me. feast your eyes below on the seven different scenarios with the most exaggerated stereotypes you could ever imagine.

(1) doing one's hair

and with that, i hope you clearly see the differences between my faith and yours. or at least between super dramatic people and super calm people. basically, if nothing else, i hope it made your humpday just a bit brighter.

i also sincerely apologize for the offense i may have caused with my choice of pajamas. i was just doing me, y'all.
