They’re Greek Orthodox, haven’t recognized the so-called Primate for about 1600 years.

Although as far as his Boston career goes, he could have adopted that name after the 2011 All Star break.

Dracula (George Hamilton): How do you know so much about me, Rosenberg?

Dr. Rosenberg (Richard Benjamin): My family name was Van Helsing. I changed it to Rosenberg for professional reasons!

PS: Wife’s great grandfather changed the family name from Slutsky to Slater. Smart man. All for changing the name to hide from the Nazi’s or embarrassing, make-fun-of-growing-up names.

Or, did I miss it?

It’s good. Next up: avgolemono with knadeleh. And finally: a handy, fold-out paper bag for the next socialite friend of Beep-Beep’s next girlfriend who has to wake up with a hangover next to that….

Therefore, being Greek and being a Jew are not mutually exclusive.
