    The odor that is being smelled is wet lanolin, as in sheep wool. Dog fur has lanolin varying by breed. My Sheltie with its long water-resistant hair had the strongest odor. Perhaps fair people have a higher lanolin content than dark-haired people or those of African descent. Check with a hair preparations chemist or company.

    The food we think of as Jewish is actually Northern European Jewish food (Ashkenazi or Western Jew). In Israel they eat Middle Eastern food (Babba Ganoush, Humus, pita, lamb, lentils) same as in a Middle Eastern resturant. This is Sephardic, or Eastern Jewish. All of the food you mentioned is northern European (Yiddish speaking). Hebrew is a language, revised from written text early in this century. Although a ‘Hebrew’ is a biblical name for Jews, it is not an adjective for food.

    My Indian co-worker gave me several reasons: For Hindus, the forehead spot is the focus of meditators where the five senses come together and sense God. Women have adopted this as makeup and to keep men’s eyes focused there rather than their bodies.
