one time i worked at a front desk in new york. we got what i call “jewish missionaries”: orthodox jews who want to get non-orthodox jews to be orthodox, or at least be more jewish.

so, they walk in the front door and ask, “is anyone that works here jewish?”.

“uh… probably“

i mean, this is an arts building in new york.

so they (two guys) ask, “alright, can you check?”

…can i check… … uh… well surprisingly i do not have a list of jews here. you might imagine a variety of people would be kind of sensitive about that.

“uh… no. i cant check”

they say, “well, who do you think is jewish? you can see their names. just call them.”

so now im sitting here at this huge marble desk staring at this tiny phone trying to figure out how to explain that i cannot, at my workplace, just call people i suspect to be jewish.

“uh… … … no man i cannot just call people that i think might be jewish. sorry. they’re probably like… working and stuff”.

so then they gave me a tiny loaf of bread (?) and left.
