Could someone please tell me if the name Raman could possibly be an Israeli first name.

No it is not a name, not even a word. May be it is RaaNan ?

Hi,

Ive got an Indian friend by the name of Rambabu...

muman613
You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14

I like Maruchan Ramen noodles to use with leftover meats. They taste better to me than top ramen.

Thanks everybody. I saw this name and a suspicious-sounding last and middle name, and thought that this might perhaps be a Jewish student. I didn't want to give him a failing grade.  :laugh:

Why? Do you believe in affirmative action, giving people good grades because of who they are rather than their work?

If they had a fair system out here (I'm not in the U.S.), then I would be completely impartial. But these Koranimals are running the place, intimidating the Jews. If this person is a Koranimal (he is not a European, definitely) then I don't want to cut him any breaks. If this is a Jew, then I don't want to be as harsh, because Jews are having a tough time right now. I feel like I'm in Hitler's Germany in 1933.

Normally, I am a very fair-minded person, but these are extreme times.

If I were in a class with a Jewish instructor and a Jewish student in the class that I knew wasn't doing their best work got a higher grade than I did, when my work was of higher quality, I have to tell you, I'd be furious.

Raman is certainly an Indian name, but Ramen is not.

Ramen is delicious though. Mmm... I like the creamy chicken flavor the best, with chicken meat added.

And rightly so.
