Quote:Upon hearing my "predicament", a passing Jewish coworker took it upon himself to offer me his spare menorah. It's shape? Noah's Ark.
That was an act of kindness, which would earn a blessing. Unless of course he knows you are a non-practising Jew, in which case he is a sanctimonious twat.

Tangent,from none-of-my-business-curiosity:
You mentioned your family is from Eastern Europe. Does mean you are Ashkenazi ? From the Schetl or large city? When did your family leave? Did any of your extended family remain im Europe?.If so,did any survive The Holocaust?
I ask because I'm interested in the history of modern migration:.
I'm ethnic Irish. My dad's family left Country Clare to come to Australia in 1870 as free settlers. My mother's family left Galway during "The Hunger" in 1850 and went to Canada. Such migrations changed the direction of families and the fate of their members.
It's likely neither you nor I would be alive had our families not migrated. My mother's family would probably have starved to death,and yours have been wiped out in The Holocaust or in one of the periodic pogroms.
I apologise if my question are insensitive or intrusive
