He’s a Jew but not Jewish.

Like me.

One is an ethnicity. The other is a religion. It’s easy to get them confused.

He’s Jew-ish

So is everybody here a technical Jew? Like, that's three of us, and this isn't a huge community.

I'm Brian, and so is my wife.

Brian is an interesting name for a woman. Then again, my brother Steven married a man named Stephen.

It's from "Life of Brian", and somewhat related to Jewish identity. Here's the referenced scene - recommend the whole movie if you've never seen it.

Good for Steven and Stephen, and wish them every happiness.
