I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

I KNOW A JEW WHOSE GRAMPS WAS A COLONEL IN THE TURKISH ARMY IN WW1.
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE WAS NOT AS BAD TO JEWS IN THE HOLY LAND AS OTHERS WERE.
I've heard that many of the initial Ottoman troops that held off the British/French landings at Gallipoli were Jews from 2nd line formations.
