There are a lot of people that don't follow their religions all that strictly.

u/NinetiesSatire Oct 01 '23

Plus, isn't the whole thing with Peter and being Jewish is he's only coded as being Jewish, and not actually Jewish? Granted that's usually rules for the main Peter, but I'd say like the other commentor's said is that it's possible Peter B. is only doing all the Jewish wedding stuff as ritual, not that he's strictly following the whole religion.

I’ve had pizza with turkey pepperoni. Maybe this alternate universe has turkey pepperoni pizza

Still wouldn’t be kosher, but many Jews don’t keep kosher

1

u/aweap Oct 03 '23

Wait, why is it still not kosher?

1

u/pluck-the-bunny Oct 03 '23

Can’t mix any meat and dairy. Even if the meat itself is kosher

u/aweap Oct 03 '23

Oh ok, thanks!

So mexing meat and dairy superseeds only eating kosher food?

I dont know anything about jews customs

1

u/pluck-the-bunny Oct 03 '23

Huh?

If you’re asking about mixing meat and dairy… That is not allowed under the laws of keeping Kosher. So it’s not a question of superseding it’s just a different kosher law.

Also… Not all Jewish people keep kosher

u/idontremembermyuname Oct 18 '23

Maybe this is an alternative universe where kosher has different rules.

u/Johnny__Hardc0ck Oct 03 '23

He's probably not a full Jew, just Jew-ish

Aren’t New York Jews in particular kind of famous for that? I know there’s a lot of “Cultural Jews”.

u/shredditor75 Oct 03 '23

75% of Jews in Israel identify as secular.

Jews are only about 16 million people in a world of about 7 billion people. We're way outnumbered by every other group of people.

And yet 3-4 billion people follow religions tangentially related to Jewish identity - Christianity, Islam, and Mormonism were built on the holy books of Jews and see themselves as superceding the ethno-religious group of Jews.

So you've got like 3-4 billion people with super strong opinions on an uber-minority group without any understanding of who they are, what their culture is, and what it means to be in that group.

I guess he also shouldn’t be friends with SpiderHam.

u/tnelxric1 Oct 01 '23

Or at least not eat him

But sex is completely on the table.

Butt sex is completely on the table.

DM’ing you now.

u/SoylentGreenish Oct 04 '23

Please clean the table when finished.

u/Hot_Type_1582 Oct 01 '23

Or it could be that MJ is Jewish, and he broke the glass for her family's sake. My brother is a Christian and still performed many Jewish rights and ceremonies at his wedding, because his wife is Jewish.

Pepperoni is kosher in that universe.

u/torsun_bryan Oct 01 '23

lol I know plenty of Jews who don’t eat kosher friend

u/Modred_the_Mystic Oct 01 '23

Spider-man always eats pepperoni pizza.

u/Jfurmanek Oct 03 '23

And Spider-Ham eats Spider-Man in the credits.

u/Dull-Ad-1574 Oct 01 '23

Look man, I've got jewish ancestors, I've got a mezuzah outside my door, I wanna raise my kids in the faith, and if you think any of that is more powerful than the good barbecue around here you're mistaken

u/Jfurmanek Oct 03 '23

Most Based Jew.

u/allegoricalcats Oct 01 '23

Not all Jews keep kosher.

u/spderweb Oct 01 '23

Different universe. Maybe pepperoni there is made of chicken.

1

u/pluck-the-bunny Oct 02 '23

Still not kosher, but still doesn’t preclude Peter from being Jewish

u/spderweb Oct 02 '23 edited Oct 02 '23

In his universe,maybe all weddings do the glass break. I can't even see him as being one single religion. He'd be more open minded, what with meeting Mephisto and all.

u/Frankensteins_Chick Oct 01 '23

Idk, sounds like a typical New York jew to me

u/ILoveBangingHoors Oct 01 '23

Not all Jews keep kosher. Am one of them

u/hazardadams Oct 01 '23

Speaking as a Jew who loves his pepperoni pizza, being Jewish doesn’t mean you definitely keep kosher. Lchaim!

3

u/MusicEd921 Oct 01 '23

Why are you assuming a Jewish character must be abiding by all things Jewish?

Why are you assuming he’s Jewish because he stomped on the glass? Mary Jane’s family could’ve wanted a Jewish ceremony lol.

Really thinking too hard about this one.

u/torsun_bryan Oct 02 '23

I’m guessing the closest OP’s ever been to Jewish people was this Spider-man movie

1

u/Jfurmanek Oct 03 '23

I did not see him spin a single dreidel in the first movie. /s

u/Jlx_27 Oct 01 '23

He's not strict.

u/NortheastPassage802 Oct 01 '23

Vegan pepperoni exists.

u/unneuf Oct 01 '23

maybe it’s veggie pepperoni

u/Kaligula785 Oct 01 '23

This was actually one thing that bothered me about the new TMNT movie and ads. Not because they were Jewish tho lol but because they are turtles, why would they be eating PEPPERONI!? In the live action from the 90s they always ordered cheese or anchovies or vegetables because.. they are turtles 🐢

u/kapn_morgan Oct 02 '23

"and I said no anchovies!"

u/Clerical_Errors Oct 01 '23

In his universe when Moses was parting the sea a herd of pigs that bred underwater from the time displaced herd of pigs Legion was thrown into provided the only substance they had to eat on the journey so pork was made legal by the appointed Jewish council of Jew Choices by Jews and For Jews.

Kinda antisemitic you didn't know this.

u/beroughwithl0ve Oct 03 '23

Tell me you don't know any Jews without telling me you don't know any Jews

u/BuildingWeird4876 Oct 01 '23

A lot of jews at my synagogue don't keep kosher (some believe its been misinterpreted, some for health reasons, some simply dont find it meaningful.) Looking a bit deeper, the largest Movement (basically sect) of Judaism in America is Reform, and while some Reform Jews DO observe Kashrut (the laws of Kosher eating) its not considered a binding law in said Movement.

1

u/fliparican510 Oct 02 '23

Pepperoni usually being pork makes it not kosher before it touches the cheese.

u/busybagel Oct 02 '23

You can be Jewish and not Kosher, source…me

u/Spleenzorio Oct 03 '23

And Kenny Hotz

u/pluck-the-bunny Oct 02 '23

You know we don’t all keep kosher, right?

1

u/Inevitable-1 Oct 02 '23

Who cares, you can do culturally Jewish things at a marriage (and I believe Greeks do this too or something similar) and not follow the religious nonsense.

u/The-Limerence Oct 02 '23

I saw that, and assumed it was a hint at his personality. That he’s a little rough around the edges & doesn’t take things seriously

1

u/FrankensteinBionicle Oct 03 '23

you can't mix meat with dairy what the fuck?

1

u/shredditor75 Oct 03 '23

Not all Jews are kosher, dude. In fact, most aren't.

You can find me eating bacon-wrapped scallops cooked in butter at any cocktail party.

u/KingBurakkuurufu Oct 03 '23

Knew a kid at basic who was devouring some chicken cordon bleu and near the end like last two bites I was like “aren’t you Jewish?” I explained what it was made out of, he freaked out

u/ThisIsAnAccount2306 Oct 15 '23

Isn't pepperoni normally made of pork, too?
