How do you refer to someone

[LuisDantas]

I get the sense that observance of the Sabbath is to a considerable extent about being connected to the Jewish community and, therefore, it is somewhat misleading to think of observance in terms of what non-Jews (we goys) do, want to do, or are allowed or acknowledged to do.

"Allowing" one to observe the Sabbath may be ultimately not very distinguishable from at least tentatively perceving that person as an actual member of the Jewish People.

Does that sound accurate?

Then I'd simply be repeating what has already been said by others without providing the benefit of an example.

Thats okay. I had to do it myself so I see it in full rather than fragmented posts. I think I understand though.

Frankly, it makes not one iota of difference if a non-Jew decides to follow Jewish Law and is supposedly in violation of Jewish Law since they're not bound by Jewish Law anyway.

its funny that they actually have an article about that, but what does it have to do with what we're talking about?

It seemed to me to fit within Carlita's questions.

I'm not really sure about that. There are no specific Sabbath observances that are dependent on the community. From a theological perspective, I think the Sabbath is not something that we observe so much as an entity that we connect to through our observance.
Also, to my knowledge a non-Jew is allowed to fulfill the commandment for circumcision, which seems to be a strong factor in Jewish identity. And according to many opinions, Arabs are required to do so.
