Speaking English, Jews use the term “b.t.” to mean a non-religious Jew who becomes religious, and the verb “to b.t.” means “to become a religious Jew having previously been non-religious.” The verb is fully conjugatable: “I b.t., you b.t., s/he b.t.’s, etc…”

Query whether it also works in French?

The Bible teaches us the evil of racism in Number 12:1-15, where Aaron and Miriam criticise Moses for his “Cushite” wife, to which God reacts by striking Miriam with leprosy.

I would consider adding “L’Amour est bleu” (Luxembourg 1967), “Dschinghis Khan” (Germany 1979) and “Diva” (Israel 1998).

As I recall, if bread is included, you just say hamotzi (after washing your hands with its own brachah). Otherwise, you order the brachot so as to maximize the ones that you say (ie, fruits before vegetables, since the blessing for vegetables includes fruits, but not vice versa).
