Of Arms And Coats,
But Not Sweaters
Just which Jewish families were into
this whole heraldry thing?
ELIZABETH APPLEBAUM ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Q: I am so excited I am positive-
ly quivering. And who wouldn't be?
I'm a graduate of the University of
Mississippi, and I just learned that
actress Kate Jackson is, too! OK,
she's having a little trouble pro-
nouncing the name of the car in her
compelling new commercial (it's
"Mer-cure-ee," Kate, not "Mer-
ker-ee"). But don't tell me she
didn't have what it takes in "Char-
lie's Angels." Meryl Streep, move
over!
So I'm curious to know what
Jewish celebrities attended col-
lege and where. Can Tell Me Why
enlighten me?
A: OK! Get ready for some
big-time excitement, celebrity
watchers (all you people who ac-
tually subscribe to the Nation-
•
•
•
al Enquirer).

Q: I often go to visit my grand-
mother who lives in a Jewish home
for aged. Everybody there is very
nice, but they never greet me with
"Hello." It's always, "Shalom Ale-
'chem." I get the feeling I'm sup-
posed to say something back, and
I'm not talking about, "Things are
really happening, thanks, dude!"
So what exactly should I say?
A: You're going to have no
1
trouble mastering this one —
even if you don't know a word
of Hebrew.
The correct response to
"Shalom Aleichem" is "Ale-
ichem Shalom."
The greeting, which dates
from biblical days, literally
means "Peace unto you," but is
understood as "The Lord be
with you." The response trans-
lates the same.
Although popular today, ini-
tially the phrase was a kind of
secret code Jews used to iden-
tify one another while amid
large groups of gentiles.
Q: My wife and I recently re-
turned from a trip to England
where we were surprised to dis-
cover the Rothschild family had
quite an elaborate coat of arms.
Is that simply a British-Jewish tra-
dition, or does it exist among oth-
ers?
A: Coats of arms (sounds like
the kind of thing a family of oc-
topuses might need, doesn't it?)
were introduced in the Middle
Ages, around the 12th centu- c.
ry. Of course, they weren't for
everybody, and we're not talk-
ing just issues of fashion.
