      German Jew. Its yiddish.

      It comes from Jacke meaning the type of jackets they would wear. It became yekke.

      Both her parents were German jews. They have their own minhagim (traditions).

      In New York they still have one synagogue that does the Yekkish liturgical text, rituals music etc.

      She is very yekke ish

      Some people don't like the name/term.

      But they have their own traditions food etc. They really known for doing things the german way being punctual etc very very honest attention to detail and being very blunt.

      Most Irish jews are litvaks very different. Or well they used to be. Not all obv specially now.

      Where do litvaks come from? Are there any stereotypes that are associated with them, like the yekke?

      Just curious because I once dated a French Askenazi Jewish girl with a background from Slovenia / Northern Italy, and she used to completely distinguish herself from Jews from, say, Lithuania or Poland. I have no idea why or what the sub-groups are.

      Lithuania, as you may suspect. I’ve also googled it.

      Interesting fact about judge Judy and the show. It’s a genuine arbitration court and the decision is binding unless illegal or over stepping the arbitration courts remit.

      She once decided to give custody of a child to one parent so appalled was she by the actions of the other, in what wasn’t a child custody case. It was thrown out by a different court.

      I did suspect that. I think that's where Alan Shatter's family are from.

      I don't know why I find Jewish history so fascinating, but it is. Perhaps it's because most of us originated from Ireland, GB or Northern France, and we're all basically the same. But no, it's more than that, Jewish people are far more interesting than most ethnicities. I don't want to be accused of positive racism, but there's something really alluring about them. I can't put my finger on it.

      When my ex told me she was Jewish had they'd fled to France, but were from Slovenia and before that God Knows Where, I was like a moth to a flame. I suppose it's the extraordinary history of ordinary people that makes it all so interesting.

      Well you have to understand europe geographically has shifted.

      Lithuania mostly but also ukraine lativa poland belarus and Russia too. Borders kind of kept moving. The Polish - Lithuanian common wealth was huge at one point. And poland and lithuania were one. Plus Jews emigrated a lot.

      There are lots of sub groups. The big ones are between ashkenazim and sephardim mizrahim and African sub Saharan Jews.





      It would be like saying a German and a Spaniard are both European. Its true but its not very descriptive. That's ashkenazi basically.

      Italkim are Italian jews. oberlander are slovenian jews. But there was a community of Italian Jews who went to what is slovenia now at one point in History. They have also some sephardim influence.

      The traditions etc minhag and liturgy can be different.

      I think the saying is 'Jews talk about unity but they mean different things by it'.

      Litvaks are seen as crazy , a bit stubborn and full of energy or new ideas and very stoic prone to being heretics and challenging authority.

      :) His family were British Jews who decided to move here after meeting each other on a holiday in Ireland by chance :)

      Thanks for that, this is genuinely interesting stuff. I'm assuming you're basing a lot of this on personal experience but if you know of a worthwhile book on this topic I'd be grateful

      I like the times she says a recording of the show and info will be to inland revenue or other people.

      Ebay scammer was the best.

      No way way beyond Lithuania or what is present day lithuania. Russia Belarus Ukraine Poland etc.

      By litvak its important to understand i don't mean just lithuanian jews and lithuanian jews might not always be litvaks they could follow different minhag or liturgy.

      Also in Israel some people call all haredi jews (very religious) lithuanian jews because they are not hassidic.

      And in lithuania you also have /had galician jews. Galitzianers are thought of as super passionate and emotional and deeply spiritual. They are also from Lithuania and beyond.

      Today there is not so much distinction because galicians and litvaks intermarried a lot. You actually don't even hear about galicians because of it really.

      The combo gave you the Jewish stereotype probably.

      I don't know any books sorry. Im jewish :)

      I just know from diff people families and religious groups i have met also my own family.

      Eastern European Jews do actually have a lot in common with the culture sense of humor in particular.
      Hershel of Orstropol was basically the borat/Sacha Baron Cohen of 18th century crown poland (now ukraine). He just went round playing pranks on rich polish people. They could be both Jewish and gentile but they had to be rich.:D

      Not the Irish one don't think. She has been on all the American ones.

      She went to UCD though.



      She would have been fascinating to have on the Late Late though.

      I am a fan of Judge Judy, and I would agree with 90% of her rulings, but I've also on occasion heartily disagreed with her.

      She can be biased, and sometimes that bias comes through strongly. I think she is out of touch in a lot of ways - she grew up in a comfortable background, went to college (which many girls of her generation didn't) and I think she doesn't always realise that not everyone grew up as privileged as she did.

      I saw her do a horrible thing on a case just yesterday. A young hispanic boy was in front of her for some reason, (I don't exactly recall why) and she asked his father was he proud of him. His father answered yes he was, especially as his son had graduated High School.

      She laughed and sneered at that, openly mocking him that it wasn't a big deal, and the young man, obviously upset, said to her "it is a big deal in my family" - turned out he was the first generation of his family to ever graduate High School. She continued to sneer, and then remarkedout of the side of her mouth about having to "deal with this standard of people".

      It was horrible. She made the young man feel so small and belittled him. It was totally unnecessary. I can't actually remember the judgement after that, I was so disgusted by her treatment of him.

      And also, if you own a pitbull, you're fcuked, even if it wasn't your fault. She hates pitbulls.
