I know well that this is not the case. The truth is against this. So, tell me the truth, *will it be a month or a couple of days?*

Bravo for the choice you made and congratulations everybody! Note that saying “Moroccan” would have been enough; why add “Jewish”? Religion is very personal and not of the utmost importance.
