she lost her uncle's phone number and any other way of getting in contact with him a few years after we visited him in Florida and was just like "well, I guess we've lost him forever", and didn't ever speak to him again for the rest of his life until he died in a housefire

when she was a kid she told her grandparents that she wanted bacon for breakfast and they were orthodox Jews and I guess that instead of actually suggesting something else they went to the deli that morning and just bought a side of fuckin' bacon I think about that a lot tbh

her father came downstairs and saw this and was like "dad what the fuck" and her grandpa was like "she wanted bacon dude, the hell was I supposed to do" and I just feel like if I think about this anecdote enough I will have solved this piece of the puzzle

Her dad's side. I actually don't know that they were orthodox but that's supposedly what Bella Abzug came from and it was the same family so I assume they were at least conservadox culturally

Her Iberian ancestry was Sephardic but not in such a fashion that anyone would really be inclined to care
