    I recently ordered four beautiful kipot with the desire to start wearing one in public for the first time. I tried for two days, but I was so uncomfortable that I had to take it off on several occasions. I came up with the idea because I wanted to truly represent myself outwardly, and all I've...

    Abayudaya - Music of the Jewish People of Uganda

    Anyone even remotely interested should check out this CD. I got it yesterday, and it is wonderful. The Abayudaya are a small but vibrant group of Ugandan Jews that have survived great hardship since their people converted to Judaism in the beginning of the 20th century. The music is a...

    Liberal Christian Denominations?

    Greetings!

    Hello, all. I am not a Buddhist, but I love Buddhism, and I plan to continue to study Buddhist practices as I continue my Jewish education. I've found that many of the Buddha's teachings address religious dilemmas that Judaism does not discuss, particularly the way of dealing with notions of...

    Greetings, Hebrews!

    Shalom, y'all. Looks as if the Jewish community is pretty small around here. Hopefully, I'll make it a little bit bigger. I'm a Reconstructionist (disappointed that there's no Reconstructionist forum), and I'm considering becoming a rabbi. Any other Reconstructionists in the house?

    Hello everyone

    Greetings. My name is Jon, I'm 18 years of age, and it looks like I've finally found a place where I can engage in discussions of faith and belief without spending most of my time fending off closed-minded people! I've been looking for a while. My religious story goes like this: I grew up in...
