The dictionary is still packed away, but here goes: Jew: (1) person of the Jewish *faith* (2) person of the Jewish *race* (3) all of the above "race" really isn't the best word, but you get the idea. And anyone can convert to the Jewish faith, but that doesn't make them a member of the Jewish race. And not all persons of the Jewish race are of the Jewish faith. Thus you can have a "Christian Jew". (however strange it may sound) Remember also, Jesus was a Jew. _____ |___| the Bavarian Beagle _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!tekecs!seifert <- NEW ADDRESS !!! \___/
