At the porters lounge at a college at Oxford, a man with a noticeable Italian accent overhears a conversation between me and Hillel. Excuse me, he says. Are you Jewish? I mean, were you speaking Jewish? I answer: Hebrew. Jewish is a different language. It sounds more like German. Pause. Ah, he says. I never met a Jewish before. So we introduce ourselves and he says hes from Sicily. I never met a southerner before, I said, teasing. He laughed.
