    Orthodox Questions...

    Orthodox Judaism doesn't only rely on the "Written Torah," as you described; they also rely on the extensive rabbinical commentary on the Torah covering the past 2000 years.

    What's your bible?

    From Aish.com Psalms 22:17 reads: "Like a lion, they are at my hands and feet." The Hebrew word ki-ari (like a lion) is grammatically similar to the word "gouged." Thus Christianity reads the verse as a reference to crucifixion: "They pierced my hands and feet." Isaiah 7:14 describing an...

    Jewish "trinity"?

    Shaleshudos, I had thought that sounded familiar. Maybe it just didn't imprint itself on my mind when I was reading about it, ;)

    Jewish "trinity"?

    Jewscout, there are only two "meals." The Friday dinner and the Saturday lunch. The Saturday breakfast isn't typically eaten with two loaves of challah; usually only a bagel or fruit, since the men need to get to shul somewhat early in the morning. Also Jewscout, and again, I don't mean to...

Her anecdotes and funny stories about her Jewish home is making me crazy. I want to be Jewish NOW. I've finally settled with the...
