What's More Jewish?

Is seltzer the most Jewish?

The Reconstructionist Rabbinical College (RRC) has launched a website with a game that is definitely worth a look.  It's called "Most Jewish."  The concept is simple:  The site gives you four options, and you have to decide which one is--as you might have guessed--"most Jewish."  Each time you play, the four options change.  The fun is in the diversity of the options; strange juxtapositions abound.

Which is more Jewish:  "Skepticism" or "Young Frankenstein?"  "Teach for America" or "Storytelling?"  Give your answers, and you can see what percentage of players agree with you.  (There's also an option to leave comments explaining your decision.)

Since it was developed by a rabbinical seminary, this is clearly meant to be more than a brief amusement.  How do we decide if something is "Jewish?"  Even if we can't articulate a rationale, the game forces us to adopt one.  Most of the options are geared toward contemporary American society, highlighting the issue of Jewish identity in our integrated community.  Thanks to RRC for a great conversation starter.

For Discussion:  If you play the game, let us know what your favorite "most Jewish" thing was.  Were there any very difficult decisions?  How did you decide?
