Wasn't there an episode where she wouldn't eat lobster, because she was observant?
The only lobster I recall was the one where her dad was being a shitty tipper and Ross objected. Arguably another stereotype, actually.
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What is even happening?
Willow! Yes -- that's true. How could we forget?
Willow gets into the whole realm of how being Jewish is treated/seen/presented as an ethnic identification.

So are the "positive" Jews "stealth" Jews? Cause I watch House, and I didn't catch that he's Jewish.
In the first episode, Wilson says that he's Jewish, but only keeps Kosher when eating at his grandmother's house. It's part of the plot-line for the patient of the week. (Specifically, Wilson claims she's his cousin, Foreman says she can't be, because she has ham in her fridge so she's not Jewish, Wilson says that just means she doesn't keep Kosher and for that matter neither does he. Eventually they diagnose trichinosis.)

I think you're thinking of a Seinfeld episode. With lobster poaching and shrinkage.

Woody Allen movies, maybe? Meet the Parents?

It was supposed to be only Jewish men who weren't protrayed as nerdy and neurotic so I think Meet the Parents is out.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't know that I'd call this "stealthy" though -- I wouldn't know any of my co-workers' religions if it weren't for holidays (and only then if they make a point of taking time off for Good Friday, or Yom Kippur, etc).
Right. That was my point, I just didn't bother to actually type it out, since that would have required thought and effort.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

On a Monday? Nah, not worth it.
