While browsing through the personal ads in the classified section of the
latest edition of "Harvard Magazine," I saw a couple of ads in which people
referred to themselves as "Jewish-flavored," an expression that is new and
somewhat unclear to me.

Is this (a) merely a humorous way of saying "Jewish" - my first thought; (b)
a way of saying that one is Jewish but not observant - my second thought; or
(c) something else?
