    Nope. Can't read a lick of Hebrew. But I can recite Channukah prayers with the best of them.

        I really don't know the difference, aside from "Conservative" is typically a derogatory term.
        Conservative in Judaism does not have political conotations - there are lots of Conservative Jews for Obama, Im sure. It is not derogatory in religious connotations, except perhaps if an ultra-orthodox jew were to call a modern Orthodox Jew "conservative" as that would indicate the MO had gone so far to the left theyd abandonded Orthodoxy.

        Do you want a fuller explanation of the differences?

        Have a nice day

            A Jewish man goes up to his Chinese co-worker, and says "hey, are you gonna apologize for Pearl Harbor?"

            "You idiot, that was the Japanese, not the Chinese"

            "Japanese, Chinese, whats the difference?"

            Later, the Chinese man goes up the Jew and asks him "hey, are you going apologize for sinking the Titanic?"

            "What? An iceberg sunk the Titanic"

                They might have been Jews for Jesus or whatever equivalent you have in Canada.

                Or maybe they're the LOTM mafia just letting you know they're watching you

                  No, I think you've adequately answered the question.

                  This wasn't nearly as disturbing as the drunken Native gentleman who smelled strongly of alcohol who asked for money because he was going to get stabbed...

                      From my experience 'conservative jew' almost always equates to 'liberal politically'... ofter 'extreme left' even ...

                            The other people in the neighbourhood must have looked very non-Jewish then, I suppose. From your pictures, Asher, you're not really someone that would be easily mistaken for a Jew. Though granted, there's a fair amount of Jews with non-Jewish looks.

                              Most of the people on the car were Chinese, so I guess I can see that.
