I just came back from New York, and last night I went out with a few buddies from college in Williamsburg, in Brooklyn. In the taxi ride I noticed an incredible amount of chassidic Jews walking on the sidewalks. I cannot remember the last time I saw a chassid in San Francisco, and it always makes me kind of question what it means to be a jew. I consider myself 100% committed towards being Jewish, but are the chassidics Jews any more Jewish than me? I have no idea, but it's certainly an interesting question, and if nothing else, it illustrates how broad of a meaning "Jewish" can have.
In case any of you have never been to San Francisco, when I got back I really felt excited to be back in the greatest city in the world. I highly recommend a visit...
