Tina didn't quite look at him while she spoke. She'd never been one to speak about herself and especially not about such private matters. Usually going "oh, I don't necessarily celebrate that," cause for a certain amount of awkwardness than the inquisitive questions Newt gave her.
Newt's question forced a laugh out of her while she shook her head. "I don't think most people like Yom Kippur," She answered, "it's not a happy holiday, necessarily. Though we both enjoyed Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot. Yom Kippur has a different kind of magic to it, though it's more solemn."
But he wasn't asking about what the holidays meant so she doesn't want to get into it. Instead she tilted her head when he continued and shrugged her shoulders. "I didn't celebrate Chanukah since it just happened at home," She considered, frowning, "and Purim just passed. I'm named after that one, you know..."
She shook her head, still uncertain before adding, "I suppose it depends, but it's not the same by myself." And she was more culturally Jewish than she felt religiously, so it wasn't as if it had some religious impact on her. But growing up in the 20s in a city that (at the time) was half Jewish-- well, Darrow was more than a little odd feeling for a number of reasons.
