I approved this comment, even though I take issue with it in a number of ways.
1. Asserting that something definitively "is" or "is not" Jewish assumes that there is a definition of what is or isn't Jewish. Is cake Jewish if Jews make and eat cake? The word "cake" in another language is hardly something we can definitively say "is" or "is not" Jewish.
2. Not all "Jewish" cake is dairy-free. Not all Jews keep kosher.
3. The only kind of Jew I might call "stupid" is one that assumes that their version of Jewishness is the only acceptable version of Jewishness. See my latest post on Jewish privilege.
There is a fine line between criticizing or disagreeing with a post, and calling it's author names. Let's try to keep things civil, shall we?
