The defenders of Masada were actually a radical fringe group, not mainstream jews.
The story resonates though, so has been co-opted.
The fortress that Herod built was really quite remarkable, and the main cistern held enormous amounts of water.
Quite the classic "stand".
I think the Romans may have been looking for WMDs.

I was told that when they go over 20,000' their lips explode.

At first that was my reaction.
But one has to learn to look at oneself with a little humor.
In comedy there is always a "mark", a victim. Why not ourselves?
BTW, if jews really wanted to save weight through surgery they'd get nose jobs.
I'm just saying,..

Joe,
Your sensibility is commendable but for the fact that many of the
most egregious purveyors of this line of 'wit' need no advice on who nose
what's acceptable. I can also aver that my Russian Ashkenazi friends would
think most of the preceeding is pretty tame sauce - those guys are downright wicked!

Perhaps 1963(?) Art Gran (well known Gunks climber), Bill Amborn and I are climbing Kat Pinnacle. Art has ably led the A4 rurp pitch, one of the very early ascents. Bill easily leads the summit pitch, a 5.7 offwidth. Art, following, implores "Keep a tight rope, a fat jew is coming up".
Wifey sometimes uses that line.

Just a variation of the jewish foreplay joke (a half hour of begging).

It all goes back to Moses. See, Moses went up to the mountain, and summitted, which was good, but he also brought back the stone tablets, which was bad for two reasons. First, he shouldn't have been packing out rocks, it violates Leave No Trace. Second, the tablets were chipped.
We've been persecuted for style violations ever since.

There is not one photo of a black person leading an A4 pitch? Is there?
How many have done Freerider? Astroman? Rostrum? The Naked Edge?
We've got plenty of Jews climbing El Cap and hard sh#t. The Original Jew-Pac was one of the original Jew Gangsters pulling on hard rock.
But what about Buck Wheat?

We tend to tip toward the hypochondriacal.
To wit:
A team of climbers returns to base camp after an arduous climb.
“I’m tired and thirsty,” says the German. “I must have beer.”
“I’m tired and thirsty,” says the Frenchman. “I must have wine.”
“I’m tired and thirsty,” says the Russian. I must have vodka.”
“I’m tired and thirsty,” says the Jew. “I must have diabetes.”

Of all the times I've been cragging over the years, one of my favorites sessions was when Bill Leventhal, Dave Katz (the "Inflatable Man," owing to huge muscles), Joe Kristy and I were putting up all the routes on Mount Gorgeous out at Malibu. I'll have to tell the story sometime. I've had more fun with jews than I can remember. Of course the jewish thing is totally incidental to just being out there and doing what we do. It's only after the fact and reflecting that I realize, Oh yeah, Bill Sherman is jewish. Maybe that's why that brisquet he just cooked was so damn good.
