keshetchai:

reasons why amy santiago is already jewish:

• she says she wants holt to be her rabbi
• instead of calling it the spa or Turkish Bath, she refers to Jake going to The Shvitz. (ep: Old School)
• Jake wishes her Happy Chanukkah (in the episode Christmas)
• instead of getting holt one present, she had six small presents which is just one short of the full seven (see above)
• went to magnet school (it was probably day school)
• family events center around thanksgiving and never christmas & is in general way more obsessed with thanksgiving dinner than christmas or other holidays
• is cuban, and there’s definitely a cuban jewish population (one of the local cantors where i am is cuban!)

reasons why amy santiago wasn’t already jewish but converted to judaism:

• she saw a complete collection of the talmud and fell in love with the cross-indexing 
• that one time she was like “i LOVE complex and obscure rules” when getting paperwork approved for holt 
• wants a rabbi in her life (both holt and a real rabbi)
• loves books a whole lot so probably read the recommended reading list in a week 
• shavuot is an all night study session and that is the best kind of holiday amy santiago has ever heard of she would convert based on that alone
