Brandon hates him, too. But he also hates or at least regrets Kamala. So it isn’t proof that he’s come over to the light side of the Force.
I, and several Jews in the surrounding towns, were trying our utmost to save this sick Arab kid who needed enzyme therapy for a rare genetic disorder. We got him to a specialist at Hadassah Ein Kerem, but ultimately we didn’t have the wherewithal to get him the expensive enzyme therapy he needed on a regular basis. I did give about a thousand shekels for a respirator, but the poor tyke passed away anyway. He had beautiful, poetic eyes, like Lord Byron or Coleridge. Remain fast friends with his uncle, who used to clean our house twice a month when we lived in Neveh Daniel.
Beans and the like on Passover are a regular item for eastern Jews, who never accepted the Kitniot decree that Ashkenazim such as us keep. I think converting from Arabian culture to Judaism would make him eastern.

Oh, I know.
It was a regular fight in my home growing up. Three grandparents from the Shoa and one (mom’s mom) from Egypt. Mom’s mom won growing up.
I married an Orthodox/former Hasidic Ashkenazi. So no beans.
But I agree with my Bubbe (yes, I know that’s Yiddish). It’s just flat stupid.
The boy is taking classes as Chabad, just toes in. We’ll see. He does speak fluent Hebrew already. And converted once already, to a Nazarene, which I consider an improvement theologically. So he’s on a journey. Son-in-law or not, I wish him well.
