Jew Complete Me
Just what do you call a Jewish person who becomes an evangelical Christian? According to a Christian acquaintance, such a person is referred to as a completed Jew. She told me this without the slightest tinge of irony. Actually, she thought I, as a Jew, would feel some sort of kinship with these former Jews, that I would somehow be pleased with the news. Frankly, I found the whole idea offensive.
Look, I don’t care if someone is a Jew or a Christian or an atheist, but don’t tell me that a regular Jew is incomplete somehow. If they become complete as they say, then they are no kind of Jew anymore.
