AAJ "Ask A Jew" Wednesday

It's everyone's favorite day of the week, "Ask A (Anti-Zionist) Jew" Wednesday! Ask whatever you want to know, within the sub rules, notably that this is not a debate sub and do not import drama from other subreddits. That aside, have fun! We love to dialogue with our non-Jewish siblings.

Please remember to pick an appropriate user-flair in order to participate! Thanks!

I don't have many jewish friends because there are few jews in Asia. In fact, I only know 2 jews.

Is it important for jews to wear a star of David necklace? My jewish friend wears it always. I've never seen him without it.

He's visiting me in my country but we are a muslim-majority country. It would be safer for him not to wear it.

It's not mandated or anything but it's personal preference, like wearing a cross is for some Christians. If you think he would be safer to not wear it, have a conversation about it.

That's good to know.
