I scored a 56 out of 66 on belief.net's "What Kind of Jew Are You?" test. ( http://www.belief.net/section/quiz/index.asp?sectionID=&surveyID=76 ) This makes me a "Lokshen Kugel Jew"




From the site:

You are a Lukshin Kugel Jew.
Like the traditional noodle kugel, your Jewish identity has withstood the test of time to remain relevant and meaningful to you. The kugel's recipe has been passed unchanged from generation to generation, like the Judaism you practice.

This is followed by a list of reccomended books and stuff I haven't looked at yet.

I wouldn't say my religious practice is completely unchanged compared to my ancestors (my grandparents weren't observant and I do a few things differently than my parents do,) but it's the best comparison they have, I think.

I'm entertained and amused. :-)

"You are a Tzimmes Jew.
"Like this Sabbath-evening fruit and sweet-potato side dish, your Jewish identity is highly traditional, even as it adapts with changing times. A basic recipe is supplemented with various individualistic flourishes. Judaism plays an integral role in your life, though your identity is not defined solely by it. "

I'd say that's pretty accurate.

You don't mind that I took this, do you?

Through a combination of "what I think" and "what I would think" answers I have found myself to be:

You are a Haroseth Jew.
Like this Passover fruit and nut mixture, your Jewish identity can take any number of forms, each blending tradition and innovation. Your cultural and ethnic ties to Judaism are stronger than your religious ones. Your religiosity and Jewish identity often revolve around holidays, lifecycle events, and other special religious times are important to you.
