I looked up "mensch." Did you know that there is a guide that one can follow, and we, too, can achieve mensch-dom? You can find anything on the interwebs.

I didn't realize that Hebrews were a "race." Then again, "race" doesn't exist anyway--it's just a way of categorizing people based upon characteristics that are supposedly common amongst a group, yet there is more variation genetically among that "group" than commonality:

http://www.aaanet.org/stmts/racepp.htm

In the United States both scholars and the general public have been conditioned to viewing human races as natural and separate divisions within the human species based on visible physical differences. With the vast expansion of scientific knowledge in this century, however, it has become clear that human populations are not unambiguous, clearly demarcated, biologically distinct groups. Evidence from the analysis of genetics (e.g., DNA) indicates that most physical variation, about 94%, lies within so-called racial groups. Conventional geographic "racial" groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater variation within "racial" groups than between them.

Mench=male wench

:lol: That's what I thought, too. Could make sense, in this case...
