Only talking to a friend of mine today about Jews , I'm Irish and he's Jewish (American) and said I knew a little about the Jewish religion but very little because we never really had Jews in Ireland so I proceed to Google just how many are actually in Ireland and from a population of nearly 6 million we have a total of sub 3k Jewish.

Spent a couple of hours swapping stories as I love lore.
