You are getting old when you remember when:
1. Jews were banned from Jerusalem other than its western suburbs
2. guides to keeping kosher emphasized how to check the list of ingredients
3. it was largely unheard of for anyone to wear a yarmulke in public outside a frum neighborhood
4. “quotas” referred to a maximum number of Jews allowed to be admitted to a college, and only good colleges had quotas (they were referred to in Latin “Numerus clausus” to make it sound less offensive).
5. Brooklyn has a major league baseball team
6. American money was backed by something other than faith in the government
7. There was general agreement that Yiddish would be extinct as a living language by the end of the 20th century
