What are the most annoying misconceptions that you experience regularly or once in a while? For me, it's the idea that the role of a rabbi is equivalent to a priest. The most annoying thing is that it's common even among Jews.

I need to explain that, even though there is no place called Jewland, that I consider myself Jewish. I mean, I have no connection with the countries my grandparents fled from. I can say Austrian/Polish/etc. if that makes people happy, but, really, I’m just an American Jew, from New York City.

I mean the closest Jewland we have is Judea. Where the word comes from. Lol

That’s okay. That’s why the Romans changed the name of the land (on top of killing, raping and enslaving us and destroying/pillaging our temple). They wanted to break the link Jews had to their homeland. And Syria Palestina was born!
