einstein a jew?

[Fiddler]

Are you kidding?



In any case, Einstein was a secular Jew. There were things he valued about Jewish culture, and there were things he very much did not. From what I know of his upbringing, he didn't have to "move away" from Judaism to free his mind, because he was raised in a fairly secular household.

Being jew isn't just and strictly related with your family roots. You were born as a jew and that will be also the way you die. It will last forever.

Einstein could have been anything, does not matter for me whether what he had found as he is a jew for me ,one of the most intelligent jews.

That's rich. Notice that it was in response to the quote I just pasted above?

You're staff here? Wow.

Give it a rest 'troubled man'. Off topic remarks about other people wont make you look better.

The bible says that the Jews are God's "chosen" people. Mostly this was written by Jewish writers to give their people a sense of superiority over others but it has some truth to it.

Jew's have an intelligence gene. It was not given to them specifically from God, they just happened to be the people who received it from the human ancestral genetic pool and since Jew's have interbred almost entirely with other Jew's this gene spread among them and stayed within their kind.

To be chosen or to chose that is always asked by gentiles. Answer is both

Jews' richness is directly related with Moses as he prayed to G-d that all jews would be rich . Other thing, trading and banking for 3000 years surely make you well off.

I wouldn't see promoting Naturalism today within the Jewish community as resulting in anything less than bad vibes and excommunication.

And you base this on what?

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Is this correct from wiki?

"The term Jewish Renewal describes "a set of practices within Judaism that attempt to reinvigorate what it views as a moribund and uninspiring Judaism with mystical, Hasidic, musical and meditative practices drawn from a variety of traditional and untraditional, Jewish and other, sources."

As a stretch consider reading the entire article. :yes:

You would have also benefited from looking up religious naturalism and Reconstructionist Judaism - both references pop up when one does a search on Jewish Naturalism. For someone who lists his religion as "Understanding," you're proving yourself to be more than a little areligious.

Yes, thank you.

LOL! YOU were the one who started the off topic remarks.

Honest teacher, Jimmy pushed me first. :sad4:

Simply observing your lack of desire to engage in an intelligence discussion. When all you offer is 'lol' this and 'LOL' that. :tsk:

Well, well, well, after all this time, you have finally remarked to my posts. Of course, nothing of any concern or value there, as usual, but at least you did respond. Kudos.

Lets see how far he can keep this up. how many posts have you counted that start with 'LOL' Jay?

LOL!

Let me remind you that we were engaging in discussion until YOU said this...

Then you are simply ignorant about Jewish culture.

It's rather sad really. I'm not sure why you want to resume to publicly expose your narrow mindedness, misconceptions, and general ignorance.

Those kinds of remarks only deserve a LOL!

So, it would appear the pot is calling the kettle black here.

 

[A Troubled Man]

Honest teacher, Jimmy pushed me first. :sad4:

Funny how didn't notice I succeeded in taking the high road by not responding in kind, and I certainly have noticed your childish take on it.

 

[Caladan]

LOL!

Only we have different standards for what consists of contributing to a discussion. But never mind I can already see why you joined the forum. I hope you make the best out of it, I have my doubts though.

Honest, teacher, I was being really, really nice when Jimmy ...

Answer the question.

Answer the question.

Why? So, you can put more puerile remarks? That appears to be all you're capable of doing. Why feed a troll?

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Why?

(pretty much as expected)
