Talk:cada muerte de un judío

On es.wikt it says that it refers to the longevity of the Jews. It may be true, although I've never heard of such an idea. (Perhaps from the long lifespans in the Old Testament?) However, since there is the variant "cada muerte de obispo", my first thought was that it comes from churchgoing. Like, "He only goes to church when the bishop dies". And then "He only goes to church when a Jew dies" would make a lot of sense as a hyperbole (because nobody goes to church when a Jew dies, of course). This is all just a lot of conjecture, however, and I'd love to see a well-sourced etymology. Thanks in advance! 84.63.31.91 23:20, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
