American Filmmaker: 'Not All Jews are White'


(IsraelNN.com) An American filmmaker has set out to explain to the world that one does not have to be white to be Jewish. Lacey Schwartz, a black Jewess born to white parents, states in the trailer for her new film, "Outside the Box" that there are close to 400,000 black Jews today in the US.

Schwartz began her own odyssey of self-discovery at the age of 18 when she had to answer questions of ethnicity on a college application form. Her film is expected to debut within a year. The young filmmaker will be arriving in Israel next week for a conference sponsored by the Vancouver-based Center for Leadership Initiatives, funded by the Schusterman Family Foundation.

Why do you have to tell the college your ethnicity?  :o

           Prior to reading the article that Mord posted,    I was under the assumption that there were far less than 100,000 Black Jews in the United States.     At most around 10,000.    My gut feeling is Lacey Schwartz is overestimating the 400,000 number she came up with.

 I dont know if completly, but pictures definitly influence what the baby will come out to be. I also heard this in a Rav Mirachi shiur a long time ago, that their was a couple who in their bed room had a picture of a black guy, and when they were having relations the women was looking at it, so the baby come out black (they also did the whole DNA testing). This is also why many rightious women (as brought in the Talmud), would go back to the mikva over and over again, if on their way from the mikva home they say a dog, or another bad animal, or a defected person, etc. they went back to the Mikva because expecialy the first thing the women sees greatly affects the child. Also what they are thinking.
 Also Rabbi Yohanan Ben Zakai (who was extremly beauitiful and smart) would sit in the entrence of the Mikva (thats not where the Mikva was, but on the way to the Mikva- the women were dressed fully modest at the point, dont get the wrong idea) learning Torah, so that when the women would leave the Mikva they would see him and would then get children that were greatly influenced by his knowledge and looks.

Boy, imagine the surprise on the white father's face when "his" newborn black baby is born to his white wife.

Many half-cast Jews identify with the enemy, like Oona King, former British MP - here she is with my local MP, socialist David Lammy! http://youtube.com/watch?v=wozgx9j-rvA

THIS is a TRUE black Jew: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QozNypZD3vU

He's in Crown Heights though, a convert.
