Correction.
Should I have added the “correction” to make you guys notice her claim of being Jewish? Or is it that her ancestry is well mapped out enough, that her claim is clearly unsubstantiated, and it required no response, clarification, or addition to the profile?
Maybe she is Jewish?

“Magically, things started happening after that that really felt like God’s hand. Side note: I’m not a religious person—I’m half Catholic and half Jewish, and generally very cynical, but the key for me there was to stop resisting and start embracing the opportunities that were presenting themselves.”
I think she might be Jewish, as she seems to celebrate Passover according to her Instagram.

That, or she spent the night out with a friend.
She thanked her friends for the evening.

Metro and Anna spoke “Russian”. Maybe that means they were Rusyn. We need bablah on this.
Whenever there’s a man called Mitro or Dmitro, there’s 99,9% chance they’re either Rusyn or Ukrainian. What that man definitely isn’t is Slovak or Czech.
Anyway, yes, you’re right, they’re Rusyn.
