JewWalking

Just in time for Passover... We wanted to share with you a Classic from Jewish Treats! We took Comedian and VH1 Field Reporter Simmy Kay to the streets of NYC for some JewWalking!

Simmy tracked down some Jews to ask basic questions about the Jewish religion, Jewish history and the Hebrew language. The answers are sure to surprise and intrigue you. Check it out!

If there are ever questions or topics you would enjoy seeing discussed on @JewishTweets (http://twitter.com/JewishTweets) or our blog Jewish Treats (http://www.JewishTreats.org), please feel free to let us know!

i wonder how many jews actually know the ancient romans killed 1,000,000 (yes 1 million) after the destruction of the 2nd temple?

i guess one day we will forget about the holocaust just like we have forgetten about the ancient romans.

I have to say, I found this fascinating. I'm not Jewish, however I think you could do this same exact experiment with any of the religions people supposedly follow and get similar results. It's easy to say you're a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddhist or a Jew, but have no real and lasting connection with your religion, especially if it's an inherited one rather than one chosen. This is an awesome way to bring the issue to light, though.

@Glory2theLamb11 Not need for her. however according to halacha it says that she should ask a doctor or two doctors, if only one of them says she can t fast then she must not do it even she wants to

(Shulchan Aruch)

Does that not eating on Yom Kippur go for pregnant women, too?

I could probably get these all right...

What's his point? That he has led a sheltered life?

this is really sad to watch.. some problem with the jewish education in the U.S.A

:( If only more people knew!

I knew all of them, we had to learn it in school, but I went to a religious school.

It's pretty sad to see that some Jews know Christian history better than Jewish history.
