I’ve known a few New Yorkers who you would swear were Jewish but were not. Actually one was the son of Presbyterian missionaries who was raised in China. Everyone assumed he was a landsman but he was not.

a landsman ...

LOL, haven't heard that one in so long. Grew up Christian among Yiddish-speaking neighbors. Such an expressive language. I hate that it's fading out. I went to see the stage show "Old Jews Telling Jokes" last year, and even there, they used the F-bomb instead of schtup, which was farkakte.
