My wife’s dad lives in AK (albiet five hours away from Bentonville) and found this article fascinating. When we stay be her folks with our daughter there are three whole Jews in the town.

(We go into Memphis for Shabbos. Nice Jewish community)

I was in Bentonville, AK, a few years ago. I thought I was the only kipa wearer there as far as the eye could see.

At the end of my stay, a guy took a seat a few rows in front of me on the return flight out of Rogers Airport and pulled out his kipa as he sat down.

Next visit, if ever, I’ll know better.

And indeed, Lot was a cuz’!

Little Rock actually has a nice little Jewish Community from what I understand. One of my Rabbis used to be the Rabbi for the Orthodox congregation there, but that was something like 25 years ago.

The comment from the DJ about liking Seinfeld caused me to snort with laughter whilst on public transport – a feat only previously accomplished by the novels of Steven Fry.
