Why did he told me so?

Question

A guy I know once told me he knows I 'm Jewish during a very serious conversation. I can't remember it very clearly, because this happened years ago, but I 'm sure he did so. The weird fact about it is that I 'm not sure I 'm of Jewish decent, my descent is certainly not just Jewish (and not even mostly Jewish) and I almost never talk about it in public. I told him I don't think Jewish -at least not of Jewish religion- because at that time I had forgotten that I had clues that my descent is probably somewhat Jewish but he insisted. What do you think made him be so sure I 'm Jewish? I think he didn't mean I look Jewish. But I can't ask him -we don't talk any more. I am almost sure this guy is of Jewish descent.

Answer 1

Then your not jewish

Answer 2

If this happened years ago and you aren't even in contact with this guy any longer, why are you sitting around obsessing about it now?  No one knows why he thought you were Jewish.  He made a comment, it's long over, let it go.

Answer 3

Do you have a big nose? Are you cheap, or just very good with money? These are things people always seem to associate with jews. Im a practicing christian but I have jjewish heritage in me.. My boyfriend always tells me he can tell , by my nose.       ....jerk...

Answer 4

Who knows, some people get an idea in their heads and won't let it go.

A older Jewish women here in Budapest started talking to my husband and myself a couple of years ago.

It was a big Jewish day here where they all meet at the Danube river to remember the Jews that were shot and thrown into the river during WW11.

She invited my husband to come since she was 100% sure he was Jewish.

He isn't, in fact old records show his family has been serious Catholics for over 1,000 years.

She was very sweet though and we talked to her for more then an hour.
