I don't want to stereotype anyone or anything, I know where I want the character to go, and the fact that he is Jewish is.. secondary. But I honestly do not know how to describe this man outside of a non-practicing Jewish transfer student. He will be leaving the story, to continue his studies, and he wants to bring his girlfriend with him.
I want to find a medium between the draw of continuing his studies with his parents paying for it, but leaving behind a girl he is dating. The end result is he is going with or without her, but I would like to know what someone in his position would think. I know parental influence, I can do that, I have.. heard of Jewish guilt. I do not know that.
If this is offensive, by all means, delete it, I apologize. I just want to make my story better.
