It came as no surprise to me and won't to many of my acquaintance that I am to a large extent Jewish, Ashkenazi to be precise.
My nephew has shared the results of a DNA test and I've taken the most exotic bits that can be applied to me as confirmation of what I've really known all along. So I'm not going to kvetsh about it, I'll be mentsh, and I won't get schmaltzy like a schmuck. Shalom.
I'm going to find myself a menorah and maybe even visit the synagogue. Mind you, those of us in the family to who this most applies also have significant amounts of Kurdish and Druze in us, too, so it's a potent mixture.
So, in celebration, largely of my shmoozey spiel, Top 6 Jews.

- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.
