This is why we never gave her a bat mitzvah.
Oh, but does she want 8 Hanukkah presents every year? You bet she does.
Clearly she inherited the multi-generation Indiana family food gene from her non-Jewish mother. Either that, or this is not my daughter. Should I go on Maury?
I’m not even going to try with the gefilte fish. I don’t need the tsouris.
And I’ll tell you one thing- she isn’t going looking for an afikomen come Passover.
Non-Jews: it’s probably best to just ignore my rant. Thank you.
EDIT: Hmm. Guess people here aren’t matzo fans either. Oh well.
That’s funny. My uncle apparently refused to eat anything but olives for like two years when he was a kid.
She’s not the most adventurous eater, but in general she’s willing to try new things. It’s just very disappointing that this specific new thing, which is kind of a big part of her culture, was something she didn’t like.
My wife joked that she’s not a proper Jewish girl. She gets it.
(Seriously though, my daughter is as Jewish as she wants to be as far as I’m concerned. It’s not something I will force on her.)
I’m sure she will appreciate it more as she gets older and understands the significance of it
I hope so!
