Comparsion between Deaf and Jewish People

Attended a basketball game between New York Knicks and Maccabi Tel Aviv at Madison Square Garden, a famous arena in Manhattan on Thursday October 11.

Compare the style of chitchatting, long lines, etc etc.

Nice assessment. Looks like you had a good time "people-watching." Sometimes I think that's a better spectator sport than the actual sport being played. ;)

Bama Boy, Wow, long time no see or talk. Hope everything goes well for you too! How are the kids? Hope you can get in touch with me by finding me on your "blue book".

LaRonda, ha! Whenever the game is stopped for whatever reasons such as timeout, out of bounds, foul, etc, I look around the audience.

I learned the news from my brother who have a lot of contacts with Jewish communities around this area and told me that the proceeds on this game were gone to Israel school for kids' education. Wow! They may have made a lot of money by selling tickets!

Hi there,

Yes you are right. We witnessed similiar behavior when we went to the National Aquarium -- they had a special event for all Jewish people to celebrate Hanukkah at the Aquarium -- there were a lot of diverse Jewish people ranging from reform to Orthodox. They would stand in lines, not moving and it took forever to get in the building and they had a hard time getting everyone out of the building when it was time to close.

Thanks for sharing it with us!
