It's Channukkah in NYC

 

As we got off the 59th Street Subway we were met by some zealous orthodox young Jewish men. He looked straight at me and asked "Are you Jewish?" I said "No, I am a Christian, but if I wasn't I would be a Jew" We then had one of many conversations you can have in a city like this [I also met Michael Manza who did the Special Effects lighting for scenes of Shrek 2 and the Lord of the Rings]. I find Judaism one of the most fascinating faiths of all for both my own personal connections to it and its closeness to my own deep Christian Faith - this was a really enjoyable 10 minutes.
