Jewish Myths

All Jews are white or Eastern European. (And eat kugel and gefilte fish and cholent every Shabbat because otherwise, they wouldn't REALLY be Jewish.)

Jews don’t welcome converts. (Is this a myth? Alright, in some communities it is. But in others, as we've seen in Israel and South America, it's a fact. A sad, sad, sad reality.)

Rabbis are male. (Even secular Jews have a problem with this which I find very interesting.)

There are the myths that Sandy Sasso, a Reconstructionist rabbi, tries to debunk in “Debunking the myths of Judaism” but how much can one little article in The Indianapolis Star do? Well a lot if you send it to all your friends and their friends and then Facebook and Twitter about it!
