Really devoteeji? What were you talking about?
The few Jews that I have met were completely secular and highly scientific. The topic of conversation never swerved to religion. In fact, back in the days when I didnt know much about the details of Hinduism, one Jewish gentleman talked to me about Advaita.
Yes, I have had the same experiences as wundermonk. The Jews I've known, except for one or two here or there who wore their "Jewishness" on their sleeves, have been very nice, polite and secular. They would share of themselves if you asked, but they never pressed it.
Sometimes one encounters an insular group of people, a neighborhood perhaps, where they are of a different mindset than others. I find that to be the case with Greeks. The Greeks who own the diner I go to (now there's a redundancy... a "Greek diner" ) have taken to me like one of their own. Other Greeks, when I was Orthodox, wouldn't give you the time of day at church if you were not Greek.
It takes all kinds, as "they" say.
