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!

We're supposed to eat foods fried in oil to commemorate the miracle of the oil. It doesn't have to be a doughnut, but humans just really like donuts. Anything oil-fried is good

Where can I find good donuts? I’m in Raleigh North Carolina. Can I buy the donuts or is the appropriation? I’m not trying to be coy or offensive, I just really like donuts.

I couldn't tell you of a kosher bakery down there, but you're fine. Gentiles can eat Jewish food no problem, unless you're in the Beit HaMikdash I think-which you're not.

If you're ever in New York, stop by Queens Pita. They make a jam donut that looks like JFK's head when you bite into it. It's so good.
