The most unexpected places I met a yid was once when I was in Oaxaca Mexico in the highland of Mexico and while walking down the the street a storekeeper ran outt and yelled Rak Regah, I was an Israeli who owned a electronic store. The strangest place I met a frum yid was in hiking the AT in North Carolina.

There was already a man and his son standing there wearing the uniform of Yidden on vacation everywhere (man in a taxi driver hat, son in a baseball cap not covering the peyos behind their ears).
