Halfsie

When she was eighteen, she went on a United Synagogue Youth Tour (one hundred and twenty all-Jewish high schoolers and one halfsie).

Julie says: I am an atheist, although among family and friends I call myself a "halfsie."

A halfsie herself, Sarah has "always been primarily attracted to Jewish men" and felt that JDate would help her narrow down her options.

The fact that it does not matter that Julio is a "halfsie" becomes a moot point when we begin to realize that a strict biological and national essentialism cannot operate in a cultural context that is based on the more open social epistemologies that are set in place in Spansih Harlem.
