AN: Well, I realized people might have some questions about other things I mentioned, so this is a little bit more then a glossary. Sort of like an appendix, I guess.
'lom – abbreviated for Shalom, which is Hebrew for hello. 'lom is the Hebrew equivalent of hi.
Yeladim – Hebrew for children or teenagers (plural). It's how I personally address my peers.
Chaya – It's a Hebrew name that is derived from Chai, which means life. Pronounced Hi-ya, with the H coming from the back of the throat.
'some questionable looking bacon' – I was implying that it is fake bacon, because real bacon is unkosher. Meaning that it is against the laws of kashroot to eat it, not all Jews keep kosher.
'After a strange, garbled stream of noise left her mouth' – this is Chaya speaking in Hebrew. She is saying a prayer before eating, called the Moatzi.
discrimination – look it up in the history books, no race has been discriminated against as often or as long as the Jewish people.
anti-Semitism – hate for all things Jewish
greed – stereotype of Jews as greedy
protection against disease – Jews were blamed for the black plague because they didn't get sick. In reality, it is because they kept kosher that they didn't get sick.
bad luck – Never heard of a more unlucky race of people.
minions or the spawn of Satan – a belief that started many inquisitions, crusades, and wars against Jews.
red horns and pointed tails – because 'Satan is our master,' we have horns and tails like he does. I've actually had people ask me how I hid my horns.
ritual sacrifices – another excuse used to persecute Jews throughout history. Passover Matzos (which is disgusting) was said to be made with the blood of Christian babies.
AN: Please feed the poor authoress. She does nothing but fanfiction now and without reviews to revitalize her, her muse goes on long coffee breaks. Insomnia is not what gets my creativity going, it is reviews! So please, I already don't sleep, give me something to read while I should be sleeping!
