[Miriku]

It's December. The holidays. I'm Jewish.

This should be fun.

[Irock]

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH NAZI FOOD

I mean, how large is your nose? >:D

[Miriku]

*looks in mirror*
Depends...how large is 'large'?

[Irock]

A jewish nose is pretty large.

What is the significance of the Seder Plate?

[Miriku]

To hold all of the stuff we ARE allowed to eat on Passover.  8l

[Roph]

Are your parents Jewish?

[Miriku]

Yep. They sure are.

[Roph]

Do you think if your parents were islamic, this thread would be titled "Ask a muslim."?

[Miriku]

I have no doubt in my mind.

[Mr_Wiggles]

When do you start geting your daily 12 gifts? or am i wrong on that?

[EvilM00s]

What is the Synagogue's official position on the practice of Kabbalah?

[Nightwolf]

Woah, not twelve. We usually get one or two on weekdays, and a hell of a lot more on the weekends. Hannukah starts Saturday, by the way.

What is the Synagogue's official position on the practice of Kabbalah?

Uh...I'm a Reform Jew, so we can go to town with it. You know, as long as we don't start terrorizing people with Golems.

Been to Germany?

Haven't even left the country.  ._.

I'm planning on going to Japan on my Japanese class trip in my senior year, though.

What's your thoughts on Fiddler on the Roof?

[EvilM00s]

I find it odd that many mainstream Christian and Muslim faiths exclude homosexuals and women in the practice thereof, and cite the Old Testament, or Mosaic Law as the foundation for the exclusion. Yet, every synagogue I've visited had gays and women intoning blessings the same as men.
Are the above faiths misquoting the Talmud or is there a provision in the reformed Jewish faith that allows for gays and women?

What's your thoughts on Fiddler on the Weiner?

[Roph]

I just hope my 2 questions and your answers provoke some self assessment

Let the kid have his religion.

[Miriku]

I'm a girl, thanks.

What's your thoughts on Fiddler on the Roof?

Oh, man, that's a good movie. I remember learining to play the opening song on the piano...anyway, yeah, it represents Jewish life in 19-20th century Russia.

Reform allows for gays and women, yes. But there are other Jewish sects that are kinda different about that.
Orthodox, for instance. Serious Jews, who think that Reform is for wusses. I'm ninety-nine percent sure that there's no gays allowed. Probably. Women are fine, they just have to sit in a seperate section. But they don't get the same blessings.
Conservitave Judaism lets Bar and Bat mitzvahs happen. They're kind of in the middle of orthodox and reform. More lax than orthodox, but more strict than reform.

Make sense?

[Mr_Wiggles]

[EDIT] - fixed punctuation... sorta...

Being Jewish sounds fun, "I don't have a religion". I'm not sure what to believe in at all, god doesn't make sense to me, And i kinda wanna stay away from Satan...
"he's OK but I'm not digging the evil thing"...

I'm one who supports any ones choice for what they believe in and I'm not one to put down their beliefs, but I just like to insert my criticism about it to get answers on how things "work" acording to their religion.
- seems that sometimes makes people angry tho -
But i enjoy you sharing your religion with us i never new that much about Jews before this topic was made....

- i support gays, there people just like any one else they need to be treated as equals -

[Miriku]

Well, thank you for taking to time to say that with bad spelling and almost zero punctuation. :l

[Mr_Wiggles]

@miriku - ROFL....
i'm sorry.... lol
i nearly failed english class, Basic enlglish at that...

[Miriku]

Ahaha, no, it's fine. It's just a bit of a pet peeve for me, if you know what I'm saying. Don't worry about it. As long as it's not made up entirely of 1337-$P34K, I think we'll live.

[Holkeye]

I'm a girl, thanks.

Sorry. Let the girl have her religion, is what I meant.
