“Good, a friend of ours died and we need a tenth to make a minyan to sit Shiva.
Great story.
I didn’t know you needed ten to sit Shiva.

Yes. I must read about Robert Putnam. People will self segregate to live in groups most closely reflecting their own minority. Even if they live in a diverse neighborhood, they will socialize with their own ethnic group if they can.
It seems in my life dooing cooperative work and going to college and regarding highly other productive people of different ethnic/racial backgrounds was for me a mind broadening experience.

Let go, and let God.Nothing riles people up more than beginning a conversation with God or the Bible. A great opening line to use on everyone, "are you a Christian?" It is the perfect way to begin a conversation about the only thing that won't end up in the ash heap of nothingness.
I was told in my profession, Realtor, don't talk about politics or religion, "those are my favorite subjects!", I exclaimed. I decided to risk loosing clients over politics and religion, it matters that much. Talking about God or Obama/Trump these last few years, has been fun, fun, fun!

There is a tremendous amount of paranoid people in this country. I have encountered many - blacks, Jews, gays - who think the KKK, the pogroms or the concentration camps are just around the corner. I have had friends and acquaintances who thought Reagan or Bush or Romney was going to intern them. I have heard it enough over the decades to see it is not recent. They actually believe this lunacy. Not recent at all. Every 4 years the rumors fly that president ____ is going to declare martial law so that elections will not be held. When a republican is president, the democrats are screaming about it, when a democrat is president, the republicans do. It's as regular as clockwork, and has been going on since I've been alive.

And did you take the time to get outof your car and report the incident? How can you expect these things to stop if you don’t do anything about it?

That was also an episode of “Northern Exposure.” (Also, it has to be ten Jewish males 13-and-up for a minyan.)

You need ten to pray the Mourners’ Kaddish “officially.”

"Kaddish for Uncle Manny," Season 4, Episode 22. (Looked it up on a handy Google
Northern Exposure episode guide.)
We have the series on DVD. Our favorite is "The Big Feast," Season 4, Episode 21.

I was not aware of the need for 10 people.
