Okay--
Jewish women light candles at sundown every Friday night, while the men go to synagogue. Afterwards we have a big, wonderful meal with friends and family. We sing and talk about the Torah.
Jews pray three times a day. We keep kosher--basically that means buying only meat from animals that are ritually clean, killed in very specific ways, and then drained of all blood. Kosher also means being very careful of ALL the products we buy, and not eating milk and meat products together.
It's a tradition to give to charity often. We commonly have little "tzedakah" boxes, and people often put a little money in every time they pray.
We keep mezuzahs on our doors--little boxes which have a scroll inside that contains a particular scripture. When we go through the door, we kiss the mezuzah by touching it and then kissing our fingers. We love Torah, and when the Torah is carried from the ark on Shabbos, the men gather around it, reach out to touch it and kiss it.
I could go on and on--we have a tradition for everything! BTW, I'm writing from an Orthodox perspective.

Become a doctor or lawyer. God forbid you should become a comedian like your Uncle Manny.
For a boy: Marry a nice Jewish girl - not like that shiksa your brother found.
For a girl: Marry a doctor or a lawyer.
