In my 20s, a hundred years ago, I remember enjoying newspaper ads for grocery stores that said “And For Our Jewish Friends,” with photos of Hanukkah or Passover food. I enjoyed what I felt was the discreet racism of “Our Jewish Friends” and probably inferred a silent “You kikes!”<\/p>\n

I thought this Jewish specificity was a thing of the past but nope, the clickbait above popped up yesterday.<\/p>\n

So where are the Hottest Presbyterian Woman Under 40?\u00a0 I couldn’t find them, but I did find fifty more Hot Jews<\/a>, including many names I’ve never heard before plus Sarah Silverman, the poster girl for attractive Jewishness.<\/p>\n

If you google the phrase “And for our Jewish Friends,” it crops up everywhere, usually a polite afterthought to an Easter or Christmas wish. “Hey Jews, look, we’re not excluding you!”<\/p>\n
