We have had Chinese food every Christmas Eve since I was in 4th grade, I’m 59 now. My father’s birthday was Christmas Eve, his parent’s wedding anniversary is also the 24th. He was their only child so they spent every Christmas with us. My grandmother had many food allergies and that was the only food she could eat in a restaurant. My daughters have continued the tradition of Chinese on Christmas Eve. It brings so many fond memories of my grandmother in her mink stole and big diamond dinner ring she only wore that night.
It has become a fond memory of enjoying some warm and healthy food with family. The Chinese community has always embrace the Jewish community and living side by side in the lower east side.
My favorite cuisine has always been Chinese, Szechuan, Thai food. and it did start in my childhood, when my family went out every Sunday for Chinese food and on Christmas for Chinese food. I love it and I love the Chinese people.
When I was living in Philadelphia 20 years ago, I used to go to this popular Chinese restaurant that serves delicious healthy kosher Chinese food, I was usually the only Chinese person there. I was instantly recognised by the staff there whenever I visit. The place was very popular with Jews. Now I am back in Singapore. I miss that restaurant.
I know many Jews eat Chinese food during Xmas cause they wanted to thank and remember the Chinese for saving them during WW2, even though, China was in turmoil! Currently, there are still a lot of Jews living thru out China. The first largest Jews establishment in China was in Kaifeng during the Sony Dynasty and then later in Shanghai during WW2.
The Chinese food in NYC is definitely not American Chinese. You're thinking of what you read about Chinese food in other states. In NYC, at least today, it's authentic Chinese.
I saw a lot of comment about using lard and I can assure you that you’re fine. They do do that in south eastern China And northern China but not really in eastern, central and western China. In American Chinese food lard is rarely, if ever used since it is hard to find and most dishes that Americans eat don’t need lard for flavoring. I used to work at a Chinese restaurant and the cook told me that he never served any dish with lard.
We have fried egg sandwiches at my mums house and they just do not taste the same without lard, it isn't a bit of good for u but good G_d they are magnificent and u can have butter on the bread without breaking any mitzvah, atb everyone and merry Christmas to all our Christian brothers and sisters.
for years we ate Chinese, one year we said why all the hoopla about cooking on Christmas Day, everyone was always exhausted and no one really wanted to cook. So Chinese became the meal of choice and it was great.
We're Baha'is rather than Jews , and we've adopted this custom as well. See whatever blockbuster movie got released on Christmas and patronize our favorite local Chinese restaurant. We'll, till CoVid, anyway. I guess this year it's Wonder Woman on HBOMax and curbside pick-up!
They eat chinese food because #1, someone else labored to make it and #2, it is cheaper to eat at the resturant than to have to buy all ingredients and foods to cook it at home. I must admit, she was cute though.
We actually eat Chinese food for Christmas in my house because we typically have a turkey and a ham at Thanksgiving. It gives us a break from cooking and the "normal" flavors of both holidays. My kids look forward to Chinese every Christmas.
I LOVE "Chinese" food on Christmas & I'm not even Jewish!! Although this year, we ate REAL Mexican food, b/c the "Chinese" place that we wanted to get take out from had recently made the decision to close on Sundays (Xmas Eve was on a Sunday this year).
My family and I used to have Chinese food every Christmas in New York - it was delicious and the only restaurants open on Christmas day. I have been doing that with friends in Las Vegas for years until this year - covid. I bought some Chinese appetizers to have at home - sad - hope next year will be almost like old times..........
You can know a restaurant is kosher when it has a sign that says it is kosher. Of course it can also be a lie made by the illuminati the Chinese government and the reptilians 🤫
@@tudormiller8898 There are many secular Jews who eat pork. Some Jews also cheat by using "don't ask, don't tell" approach. Same with Muslims. Note Jews are forbidden to eat certain fish and seafood such as shrimp, scallops, etc. However many Chinese food use seafood ingredients.
“We also participated in some Christmas festivities” > ongoing decline of Judaism in US. And Jews eat/ate Chinese food on Christmas because: a) it was a holiday, so the entire family was at home, b) Christians stayed in, to celebrate Christmas, so restaurants were less crowded, and c) Chinese restaurants were usually the only restaurants that were open. (For reasons a) and b), ditto for movies). Sorry, no “mystical” bond between Jews and Chinese, no “sorta kosher” food, etc.
@@tudormiller8898 Perhaps they saw an opportunity to garner business, when so many restaurants were closed? Also, many were “mom and pop” operations, with children also helping out, so perhaps remaining open still enabled the family to be together?

@@brucezwecker8750 LOL it's still a research subject. Why the tradition still endures considering there are now other non Chinese restaurants that are open during Christmas.
was genuinely cuirous about this, because chinese food is cooked in a ton of pork fat. im muslim and loveeeeee chinese food, but i have to be insanely safe when i eat chinese food in NA . pretty sure jews arent ok with that pork fat thing either. wish they at least addressed it in this video
In China they're classified by the color of the hat they wear, but in the old days the Jews and Muslins were grouped together. You're correct there are more Muslims in China than Jews simply because there were more Muslims since ancient history. The Muslims intermarried and created their own Hui Chinese who are Muslims. The Jews also intermarried and created Chinese Jews but the numbers were small, today there are about 10,000 Jews in China compared with millions of Chinese Muslims.
Nice but here's a question from a non-American Chinese guy: Aren't there any Jewish restaurants that open on Christmas? I mean even the Chinese could go eat there if they exist
Maybe in NYC but there aren’t enough Jews for that. Also jews come from many place around the world. Sephardic jews consider ashkenazic cuisine to be bland
But Chinese people eat lot of pork, and I don't even understand how they can eat non kosher meat since the animal isn't slayed in a religious way ? It's not sarcastic question, it's a real deep meaningful question.
@@tudormiller8898 there were 70K jews refuge in Shanghai during WWII for many years, what do you think about their new food there. Also when many of them later moved to US and Canada after WWII, what do you think about their thoughts on the Chinese food and Chinese game (mahjong) lol.

2000 years ago a guy from the tribe of Judah, and house of David, brought the GOOD ROOT, the Messiah of Adam to the world and showed us HOW ADAM is resurrected from the dead, EVERY MAN in his own order (I Cor 15): Adam became "many" (LEGION) and Christ, Messiah, the GOOD ROOT of Adam, gathers Adam from the four corners of the earth back to ONE MAN, the Last Adam: What purpose is the Jew then? The Jew is Adam's heart, his Eve, his woman that must birth the Messiah which circumcises the heart during this TRAVAIL of the heart/woman and she, the heart is saved in child bearing: Adam then is saved from his CORRUPTED CARNAL MIND by this NEW BEGOTTEN SON (YECHIDA, the Keter, the crown of life) from which the ANOINTING, the HOLY OIL flows to the whole soul (ten sefirot of the tree of knowledge, making it a TREE OF LIFE, or Torah to those who GRASP IT): The serpent is LIFTED UP (through Aaron, the priesthood) which is the SPIRIT OF ELIJAH (his God is YAH) and beheads the ego (evil inclination): Once we get the NEW HEAD (Messiah) who is God in the world, the heart/woman is taken to the wilderness to be corrected and the tail of Satan, the CARNAL MIND or Adam's fallen mind that brings nothing but thorns and thistle's from that ENMITY he gained from choosing the evil root (Serpent). The first person to repent (DO THESHUVAH) was Abraham who saw the day of Messiah and was glad: His children experienced Messiah till they went into Egypt through Joseph who was taken there by God who meant it for good, but then Israel lost their connection to God, to the COVENANT made with Abraham. So God took them out of Egypt and wrote the law on their STONY heart but that heart has to become the WORD MADE FLESH when they comprehend the TORAH SPIRITUALLY: In time, God "CHOSE" David to bring Messiah by repenting all the way back to the EVIL ROOT to bring the GOOD root to the whole world of Malchut, the lowest level of Asiyah: When David did what Abraham did, JUDAH WILL HAVE KEPT THE VOW he took to FIX, correct the EVIL ROOT OF THE TREE and make it GOOD, a tree of life planted by living waters: Nahum 1:15: THROUGH JUDAH, the WHOLE HOUSE OF DAVID (not just one person but all of that house) the work would be "FINISHED" hence Jesus words, IT IS FINISHED: What is finished? THE good root Adam did NOT CHOOSE< would be CHOSEN and everyone will have repented back to that good root, redeemed the time for the days are evil. Those who repent will see the DAYS OF MESSIAH and those who don't, will not see them, but only experience the affects of them which happens to everyone: The VESSEL OF VANITY (the ego) is destroyed: If you are ready, then you have a SOUL WHO COMES UP and out of the ego like a chick out of an egg: Jerusalem Jerusalem how many times I wanted to gather you as a mother hen gathers her chicks but YOU WOULD NOT: (be gathered): If God is doing a NEW THING, a woman (heart) will compass a MAN (VOV, Jesus in GREEK but YHVH in Hebrew) then that MAN WILL be the FULL STATURE OF THE INNER MAN of the heart: YaH is within the VOV which is within Malchut or the second HEI): GOD WITHIN HIS PEOPLE: If the SOUL (chick does not come out of the egg (EGO) then there is NOTHING but an egg: No chick: When the body dies, there is nothing to move on and up and continue and Israel as well as the world that it hasn't brought the light to, remain in exile for another round of harvests: God works in 7000 year harvests of souls and we are in the 6th day and Messiah is finished making MAN on the sixth day, his number is SIX (VOV): The 7th day, Sabbath, MAN enters his REST (God does all the work in him from that point on): IF God is NOT IN HIM, how will the SOUL REST? DO NOT FORSAKE ENTERING YOUR Rest: If you don't keep the Sabbath day HOLY, you die: but the sower will sow the seed (who knows what will happen the next 6000 years: THIS EARTH however will be inherited by the MEEK , who will be PEACMAKERS and the world and everything in it will PASS away and be passed away by the end of the Sabbath day: Yet they shall call his name "JESUS" on the 8th day: Everyone will understand JESUS after the Sabbath is over: So in summary, Judah will give birth to Messiah through the house of David who will become the MESSIAH OF ISRAEL by raising Adam from the dead because according to Luke's genealogy, Adam is the son of God: Adam became Israel when the heart turns to God and when Judah gives birth to God through that heart's good ground (Mark 4, John 16) then the NEW COVENANT begins to be in affect (Jeremiah 31:31) to fulfill all things, one man at a time (I COR 15): ONE LIVING STONE of the temple at a time, built upon the corner stone the ego rejected, but this house, this TEMPLE is built by God or nobody: God has been building it for 2000 years: gog=mountain who is magog = of the mountain: The mountain shall be laid low because the mountain is the WHOLE EGO of mankind that comes against God in the end and God will BRING that MOUNTAIN LOW and he will exalt the valley (of the shadow of death) the dead bones of the house of Israel: HOW? through Prophecy: How do you get the spirit of prophecy? your soul must separate from the mountain (ego) so God can make the crooked strait through the spirit of Elijah (the DESIRE FOR GOD) and this desire leads to the REVELATION OF MOSHIACH within you, rising to light your neshama again: Moshiach is the GOOD ROOT of Adam's soul (tree of knowledge) that he did NOT chose but must do teshuvah (repent) to choose so it can overcome the evil root (Yetzer hora, lashon hora): Its all very simple, but the heart of mankind doesn't want to know the truth because he doesn't want to return to the good root and bring that light into the world:
French food is exotic and foreign, but also expensive. Along with locational proximity, Jewish-Americans also ate Chinese food because it was exotic and foreign, but also moderately priced.
Do you want to know something really cool half the Chinese food or actually Japanese food for instance the Chinese fortune cookie it's direct descendants came from the Japanese invasion of China reason why Chinese people have it is because they decided to adopt it into her culture and there's many more that we possibly don't know about but at least it's interesting to learn for me I find that Chinese food is really good any day of the week I guess I will order Chinese food on Christmas day to try it out see what the big fuss about is I don't want to tell you guys to enjoy the holidays and I want you to know that history and culinary are both the same thing culinary has a lot of history behind it and it's important to know that because some things it's not right and mixed up I just want you guys keep that in mind
Justin Boatner Airsoft actually there are some Japanese foods adopted from Chinese foods as well . So both countries actually adopted each other's culture
The truth is we don't even have fortune cookie in China, it was a Japanese American thing but during Wolrd War 2 most of the Japanese Americans were thrown into the concentration camps it was at that time it became a Chinese restaurant special in US. As for me I can't think of anything that was adopted from the Japanese during WW2 besides a few terms used on the internet
@@ohfuck6958 Chinese restaurants are not going throw away unserved perfectly good cooked rice that is still in the rice cooker at the end of the day. They save that leftover rice in the refrigerator overnight and use it to make fried rice the following day.
@@RaymondHng thats a generalization. Chinese fried rice is an americanized chinese dish with rice and soy sauce. Perhaps some chinese restaurants make left over rice into fried rice, but its false that all chinese restaurants do that.
@@Yuki-jv3jp It's impossible to predict how many customers a restaurant will have to make the exact amount of rice, so there is always surplus at the end of the day. No business is going to throw money out the window by tossing out that cooked rice. What do you think croutons and bread crumbs are made from? Day-old bread.
The video should probably add historical context. Jewish-American people today have no issues with being near crosses. The video is referring to the early 20th century. Most of the Jewish people uncomfortable around crosses had escaped pogroms and persecution in Eastern Europe.
Who cares? People are People wherever you go! I like ALL Kinds of Food except Pork and Shellfish which unfortunately the Latter of the two I'm allergic to. Pork just has a funny Taste to it to me, and thats why I don't like it.

Those who repent will see the DAYS OF MESSIAH and those who don't, will not see them, but only experience the affects of them which happens to everyone: The VESSEL OF VANITY (the ego) is destroyed: If you are ready, then you have a SOUL WHO COMES UP and out of the ego like a chick out of an egg: Jerusalem Jerusalem how many times I wanted to gather you as a mother hen gathers her chicks but YOU WOULD NOT: (be gathered): If God is doing a NEW THING, a woman (heart) will compass a MAN (VOV, Jesus in GREEK but YHVH in Hebrew) then that MAN WILL be the FULL STATURE OF THE INNER MAN of the heart: YaH is within the VOV which is within Malchut or the second HEI): GOD WITHIN HIS PEOPLE: If the SOUL (chick does not come out of the egg (EGO) then there is NOTHING but an egg: No chick: When the body dies, there is nothing to move on and up and continue and Israel as well as the world that it hasn't brought the light to, remain in exile for another round of harvests: God works in 7000 year harvests of souls and we are in the 6th day and Messiah is finished making MAN on the sixth day, his number is SIX (VOV): The 7th day, Sabbath, MAN enters his REST (God does all the work in him from that point on): IF God is NOT IN HIM, how will the SOUL REST? DO NOT FORSAKE ENTERING YOUR Rest: If you don't keep the Sabbath day HOLY, you die:
but the sower will sow the seed (who knows what will happen the next 6000 years: THIS EARTH however will be inherited by the MEEK , who will be PEACMAKERS and the world and everything in it will PASS away and be passed away by the end of the Sabbath day: Yet they shall call his name "JESUS" on the 8th day: Everyone will understand JESUS after the Sabbath is over:
So in summary, Judah will give birth to Messiah through the house of David who will become the MESSIAH OF ISRAEL by raising Adam from the dead because according to Luke's genealogy, Adam is the son of God: Adam became Israel when the heart turns to God and when Judah gives birth to God through that heart's good ground (Mark 4, John 16) then the NEW COVENANT begins to be in affect (Jeremiah 31:31) to fulfill all things, one man at a time (I COR 15): ONE LIVING STONE of the temple at a time, built upon the corner stone the ego rejected, but this house, this TEMPLE is built by God or nobody: God has been building it for 2000 years:
gog=mountain who is magog = of the mountain: The mountain shall be laid low because the mountain is the WHOLE EGO of mankind that comes against God in the end and God will BRING that MOUNTAIN LOW and he will exalt the valley (of the shadow of death) the dead bones of the house of Israel: HOW? through Prophecy: How do you get the spirit of prophecy? your soul must separate from the mountain (ego) so God can make the crooked strait through the spirit of Elijah (the DESIRE FOR GOD) and this desire leads to the REVELATION OF MOSHIACH within you, rising to light your neshama again: Moshiach is the GOOD ROOT of Adam's soul (tree of knowledge) that he did NOT chose but must do teshuvah (repent) to choose so it can overcome the evil root (Yetzer hora, lashon hora): Its all very simple, but the heart of mankind doesn't want to know the truth because he doesn't want to return to the good root and bring that light into the world:
The Chinese restaurants were the only ones open! :)
Haha 😁😁😁
Not here in London UK though. ✡🕎
Not anymore.
food french ♥
French food is exotic and foreign, but also expensive. Along with locational proximity, Jewish-Americans also ate Chinese food because it was exotic and foreign, but also moderately priced.
Do they eat pork? lol
Yep! Is it Kosher ? No! ✡🕎
American Jews***
Bcs chinese restaraunts are open at christian holidays
Do you want to know something really cool half the Chinese food or actually Japanese food for instance the Chinese fortune cookie it's direct descendants came from the Japanese invasion of China reason why Chinese people have it is because they decided to adopt it into her culture and there's many more that we possibly don't know about but at least it's interesting to learn for me I find that Chinese food is really good any day of the week I guess I will order Chinese food on Christmas day to try it out see what the big fuss about is I don't want to tell you guys to enjoy the holidays and I want you to know that history and culinary are both the same thing culinary has a lot of history behind it and it's important to know that because some things it's not right and mixed up I just want you guys keep that in mind
Justin Boatner Airsoft actually there are some Japanese foods adopted from Chinese foods as well . So both countries actually adopted each other's culture
Justin Boatner Airsoft btw have u tried original Chinese foods like hotpot,dumplings,steamed buns? They taste really good tho
The truth is we don't even have fortune cookie in China, it was a Japanese American thing but during Wolrd War 2 most of the Japanese Americans were thrown into the concentration camps it was at that time it became a Chinese restaurant special in US. As for me I can't think of anything that was adopted from the Japanese during WW2 besides a few terms used on the internet

Why don't have fried rice?Chinese love fried rice
But fried rice in restaurants is made from yesterday's leftover rice.
@@RaymondHng wtf
@@ohfuck6958 Chinese restaurants are not going throw away unserved perfectly good cooked rice that is still in the rice cooker at the end of the day. They save that leftover rice in the refrigerator overnight and use it to make fried rice the following day.
@@RaymondHng thats a generalization. Chinese fried rice is an americanized chinese dish with rice and soy sauce. Perhaps some chinese restaurants make left over rice into fried rice, but its false that all chinese restaurants do that.
@@Yuki-jv3jp It's impossible to predict how many customers a restaurant will have to make the exact amount of rice, so there is always surplus at the end of the day. No business is going to throw money out the window by tossing out that cooked rice. What do you think croutons and bread crumbs are made from? Day-old bread.
Jews just trying so hard to avoid Christmas
why wouldn't they?
Because Chinese restaurants were the only ones open on December 25th.
So what do Jewish families eat on Hanukkah ?✡🕎
Imagine getting triggered when you see a cross! 🤣🤣🤣
I am an atheist in a Latino country, now that's torture.
@@justanothergoth6544 So you’re surrounded. 🤣
The video should probably add historical context. Jewish-American people today have no issues with being near crosses. The video is referring to the early 20th century. Most of the Jewish people uncomfortable around crosses had escaped pogroms and persecution in Eastern Europe.
Was Jesus even The Messiah that all Christians say he is ? ✡🕎
@@justanothergoth6544 WOW! Well if you convert to Judaism you won't go to hell. ✡🕎
Chinese food has alot of pork in it. All the meat that is braised is in the same oil.
So
??
I apologise for any typos...
Who cares? People are People wherever you go! I like ALL Kinds of Food except Pork and Shellfish which unfortunately the Latter of the two I'm allergic to. Pork just has a funny Taste to it to me, and thats why I don't like it.
Pork is a big part of Chinese cuisine, so its amazing that Jewish families love Chinese food so much.

@Lee Ruan not culturally but geographically, Israelis are also Asians did you know that ?
So are these secular Jewish families who eat Chinese food on Christmas day ?
@@hank4920 How ? They're Middle Eastern if anything. ✡🕎
@@tudormiller8898 Israel, the same as Saudi, Cyprus, Azerbaijan and some others are located on the West Asian continental plate. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh are in South Asia and China, Japan, Korea in East Asia .
this more happened in US and Canadian Jewish. lots of new Jewish immigrants actually don't mind Chinese food. there were 70K Jewish refugee lived in Shanghai China for many years during WWII. and later moves to North America. Many Jewish kids were even born in Shanghai, China during the WWII
There is a huge varieties of Chinese food the Jews can select and take.
What percentage of the food is Kosher ? ✡🕎
Because God forbid you see Christian imagery, right? These people are very insecure.
Evangelical retards throw a shitfit if they see two dudes holding hands.
Christian imagery. Idol worshipping. Jews worship The One True G-d ✡🕎
Yeah, pork and shrimp ( the food most served at Chinese restaurants) - definitely Jewish- NOT
Definitely! ✡🕎
