here's some stuff you should probably know about judaism if you're going to write about stan uris or have a jewish character! and who better to tell you about it than someone who knows this stuff, firsthand?
COMMON SENSE so in the olden days, people said jews had horns & tails? no? that's not true? common sense!
BAR & BAT MITZVAHS that's right! every ( well, most ) jewish boy gets bar mitzvah-ed at thirteen, but girls get bat mitzvah-ed at twelve. so, if you wanna include a jewish girl character, you kinda should know that!
SABBATH you guys probably know about this whether you're jewish or not.well, in english, it's sabbath. there's yiddish slang of it, where it's referred to as 'shabbos.' in hebrew, though, it's called 'shabbat.' during shabbat, if you're very religious, you don't u. se electronics. but in the eighties, it would be slightly different. i.e., radios, record players, cameras, televisions, cars, and vhs. i'm not sure if stan celebrated shabbat, though!
KOSHER people mostly have heard this phrase, but the specifics are really complicated. kosher is kinda like a diet that all religious jews have to follow. basically, you can't eat pig, mainly, and you can't have dairy and meat at the same time. usually, you have to wait three (or, if you're super-religious, six) hour intervals between meat and dairy. there are more laws and stuff, but those are complicated, and usually wouldn't have to be covered in a fic!
HEBREW hebrew is the language of judaism. the thing is, i can't sit here and translate every word from english to hebrew, so you'll have to use google translate for that. just make sure to back- check it before using it in your story!
