I grew up pretty much the only Jew in my town and was the only one in my high school of 1400 until Senior year. It wasn't easy. When I moved away to college I did everything I possibly could to get in touch with my Jewish "roots". I visited Hillel, joined a Jewish fraternity, did what I could to try and fit in and ironically with the exception of a few, I didn't get to be part of that clique either. Hollywood shunned me as well... not even nepotism helped. So I pretty much reverted back to the people I ended up getting along with the most to begin with from childhood... combo of artsy, fringe, anti authority, and perverts.
