Not a new article - from the Jewish Chronicle in 2016, but an interesting read on our history and Jewish identity. Apols to mods if I've put in the wrong place but I can't see a thread on the subject of this or our religious identity in general.

Depends who you speak to I suppose. We are sometimes associated with the North London Jewish community. I thought the article was an interesting read on historical reasons why that might be the case.We're a football club. We don't have a religious identity IMO.
As I've understood it the authors are exploring why Tottenham has sometimes been known as a Jewish club (and the adoption of various epithets). I don't think they are suggesting we are more or less Jewish than any other club - in fact in the final para. they say the crowd identity is complex.Interesting read but... there are plenty of Jewish fans of other clubs. Plenty of non-Jewish fans of Tottenham (i.e. the vast majority).
...not if you're a card-carrying member of the new New Labour Party.Think the whole Jewish identity thing is a bit overplayed at times....
Am I allowed to say that?
Found out earlier this year that my birth father was jewish (long story!) I'm not a roman mum, I'm a kike, a yid, a heebie, a hook-nose, I'm kosher mum, I'm a Red Sea pedestrian, and proud of it!
My name is Leonard, and some people think I am Jewish.
I take it as a compliment.
Religious profilingThat's interesting - I'd always assumed you were a Jew, because of your username.
