Hello!
I’m an incoming 1st year registering for classes today and I wanna learn about jewish traditions but I’m worried that I will be disliked by other students taking the course (who will prob. be jewish) bc of the way I look. I am a hispanic atheist with 3 face piercings, a tattoo and dyed red hair. I really don’t wish to disrespect anybody and I’m wondering if Jewish people typically dislike my look.
It’s a private liberal arts college btw.
I’m Jewish, and I’m frankly a little offended that you think anyone would dislike you solely on the basis of "your look." They might be curious about why you’re taking the class, but when you belong to a religious tradition that’s endured discrimination for millenia, you tend to make an effort not to inflict that sort of thing on other people.
I see Judaism (Jews) like Christianity (Christians) you go to a building the guy up top (i love double entendres lol but i am referring to the meeting officiator) tells you what to do, you do it, and you are THAT.
But then we watch tv especially show that take place in New York and they have a Jewish community where the people have certain physical characteristics or accents and i would associate those with Yiddish so what is the difference between Yiddish and Jewish as well?
Judaism as a religion is something anyone can believe.
Jewish as an ethnicity means you are a direct descendant of the twelve tribes of Israel of antiquity. This is a very distinct group of people.
Yiddish is a language, not an ethnicity. It was spoken primarily by European Jews in the late 16th to 19th centuries.
For example, public schools give off for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah but Catholics don’t get off for Easter. They give a "spring break" but won’t call it Easter Break. I fell like every religion is OK in public schools but once it comes to Catholicism people freak out. What do you think?
They should allow Catholic Christians days off for days of obligations. Besides the Lord’s Day which is celebrated on Sunday, Catholic Christians do have other days of obligations that sometimes fall on weekdays.
Besides that these days should be allowed off by schools companies should also allow employees these days off for their religious beliefs.
But it’s no surprise Catholic Christians are discriminated against.
Read Article 2185 about Holy Days of Obligations in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

Just to let you know I am forced to work on Sundays against my choice. Because if I were to refuse to work on Sundays I would lose my job and I have a wife and children to feed, cloth, and provide shelter.
Don’t say we have everything else. The rest are liberal jewish dominated stations
Because people would say that its racist.

This is my first time attending one of these events, and I am not sure what the proper etiquette is. Background details: I’m a friend of the bride, and the bride and groom are in their late 20’s. Thanks everyone!
yes buy them gifts. If it is food make sure it is kosher.
for my personal project, i am going to talk about all of the jewish holidays and the foods we eat and why we eat them, and originally i just thought of doing a booklet. However, i thought now that it may be kind of boring and that there may be some other ways to present this information. any ideas?
Make a poster board with pictures. The bigger the pictures the better. If you can make peoples’ mouthes water you’ll have their attention! 
And is it semitic to practice these arts?
They weren’t! It’s just your bigoted way of thinking.
When most people think of a little Jewish girl wearing a red coat, Schindler’s List is the first thing that comes to mind. But I have noticed little girls wearing red coats in Jewish families and communities in several movies and TV shows. Is this just a nod to Schindler’s List by the entertainment industry, or does it have religious significance?
There is no traditional significance.
Spielberg, the film’s director, put the little girl in red because red is an eye-catching color and he wanted the girl to be memorable.
If you see other little girls in red, you are noticing them simply because red is a memorable color. You aren’t happening to notice all the little Jewish girls who wear other colors.
