I still haven't told my parents, I'm kinda hoping to keep it secret until I'm married, with two kids, and at least one of them is B'nei Mitzvah.

If two jews are stranded on a desert isle, how many synagogues do they Build?

I heard that one kinda differently the first time.

A man is rescued from a desert island after 20 years. The news media, amazed at this feat of survival, ask him to show them his home.

"How did you survive? How did you keep sane?" they ask him, as he shows them around the small island.

"I had my faith. My faith as a Jew kept me strong. Come." He leads them to a small glen, where stands an opulent temple, made entirely from palm fronds, coconut shells and woven grass. The news cameras take pictures of everything – even a torah made from banana leaves and written in octopus ink. "This took me five years to complete."

"Amazing! And what did you do for the next fifteen years?"

"Come with me." He leads them around to the far side of the island. There, in a shady grove, is an even more beautiful temple. "This one took me twelve years to complete!"

"But sir" asks the reporter, "Why did you build two temples?"

"This is the temple I attend. That other place? Hah! I wouldn't set foot in that other temple if you PAID me!"

On a related note, the last two Jews in Afghanistan had quite a feud going.

Well if you phrase it as "marrying into a wealthy Jewish family" I'd guess pretty fuckin hard.
