    My stepfather met some of these blokes, he said he was not Jewish (he's a Gujarati Catholic) and he said "this is nice, it's a good way to learn about God." That's what he always says about places of worship, "you can go to learn about God." I'm a convert to Judaism, and I keep the same idea in my mind. We go to places of worship to learn about God. A mosque, a Hindu temple, a Buddhist temple, a Lutheran church, "you learn about God there."

I wasn’t sure if you were joking, but I’m just letting you know that’s false. If we were to engage in a formal debate on the matter, your point would hold no merit because it didn’t happen and doesn’t exist. It doesn’t make sense to me that you would believe something that doesn’t exist in reality. To me, that’s like thinking someone robbed my house last night when they didn’t. It just didn’t happen. I couldn’t possibly believe it because my brain doesn’t let me believe things that didn’t happen and have no evidence. Just like Jews wanting to make non Jews slaves. Cmon man just don’t be stupid

      Bloke, I am unsure of what you mean If you mean that object in the entrance on the doorpost,, that's a mezuzah. It has a prayer inside, and religious Jews touch it to remind them of their God, and that God is in their home. Jewish people don't have many symbols or icons because that's one of the Ten Commandments, no graven images. But today they have the menorah, the mezuzah, and some can wear a Star of David as jewelry. (I think the funniest menorah I ever saw online was a silver menorah where each candleholder had a different photo of Mel Gibson glued to it, the biggest photo of him was attached to the shamis. Funny as heck.).

    Emily Tamkin, a Jewish writer from the UK who writes about American Jewry, has recently published a book titled Bad Jews: A History of American Jewish Politics and Identities. The book’s publisher, Hurst, describes it as “A lively, thoughtful history of America’s Jews, exploring their complex relationships with national culture, identity, and politics-and each other.”
    The book caused a bit of a stir among Jewish publications. JTA, for example, wrote that Tamkin “takes a different tack, tracing the history of American Jewry through the ways Jews on one side of social upheaval seek to discredit the very Jewishness of those on the other side.” The book itself focuses on what is happening in America, since “American Jewish history,” writes Tamkin, “is full of discussions and debates and hand-wringing over who is Jewish, and how to be Jewish, and what it means to be Jewish.”
    So, first, we need to realize where the word Yehudi (Jewish) comes from. There is the known answer, that Yehudi comes from Yohuda (Judah), the name of the tribe that lived in the land of Israel during the Second Temple. However, there is another meaning to the word: Yehudi also comes from the word Yechudi, meaning united. This makes perfect sense if you remember that we were pronounced a nation only after we committed to love each other “as one man with one heart” at the foot of Mt. Sinai, yet, for the most part, this explanation did not receive the notoriety it deserves.
    If you look at being Jewish through the spectacle of Jewish unity, as I do, then being a good Jew means first and foremost that you want to unite with all the Jews, that this is what really matters to you, your prime value. If Jewishness is about unity, then a Jew is a person who knows, feels, understands, and even spreads the idea that the most important thing is to be connected in ties of love with all the Jews, regardless of denomination, customs, political views, or any other issue that currently divides and splinters the Jewish people.
    The author wrote that one of the answers she got to the question about the meaning of being a bad Jew was “someone whose conception of Judaism doesn’t have applications to the wider world.” I understand where this answer comes from. It is with good reason Jews gave the correction of the world such a pivotal place in their identity. We even gave that mission its own Hebrew term, Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “Correction of the World”).
    However, we must know what it means to correct the world, to be responsible for it, or even to care about the world. Tikkun Olam are not simply words; they imply a very specific task, and until we accomplish it, we will not be “good Jews.”
    At the “inauguration” of our people, we were commanded to unite “as one man with one heart,” as RASHI interprets. Immediately after, we were declared a nation and were tasked with being “a light to the nations.”
    In other words, our unity and our obligation to the world are indivisible. We cannot be a light to the nations if we are not united. At the same time, we cannot unite unless we do it in order to be a light to the nations.
    When our ancestors united for the first time, under the guidance of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, they were not a biologically related group. They were an eclectic crowd that was taken by the idea that all the people should unite, and we should not succumb to our ego. This is why Abraham advocated kindness and mercy, to teach people how to rise above their self-absorption and care for one another.
    Abraham was a maverick, a pioneer, a trailblazer, but thanks to him, these noble ideas are now universal. As a nation that formed out of disparate tribes and clans, it was our duty to be the living proof of Abraham’s paradigm. This is why we became a nation only after we united, and not a moment prior.
    Since our inception, we have known that unity is our “secret weapon.” However, we never understood why, what was the secret of the strength in our unity. The secret is not that unity itself makes us undefeatable, but that our unity dissolves the world’s hatred toward us and turns it into respect and awe. It gives the world the example of unity that it needs so that all of humanity can unite, as well.
    Not only we received a message when we were at the foot of Mt. Sinai. At that moment, the nations of the world received the knowledge that we received the calling. Since then, they have been wait .

      Dude, the talmud is literally thousands of pages long written in Hebrew and Judeo-Aramaic over 1,500 years ago with a smattering of Greek and Latin written with Hebrew letters. It covers legal topics concerning monetary policy and torts, marriage and death laws, prayer, food preparation etc etc, as well as mysticism, legends, allegories, historical accounts, songs, jokes, recipes etc etc. Because it contains the legal debates, BY NECESSITY it records the unaccepted opinions as well, so everyone can learn. There is a lot of content, and it's all meant to be analyzed, not followed like a code of law....The final authority of textual orthodox Jewish law is the Shulchan Aruch, not the Talmud.
      Something tells me you never read it yourself, so it's bizarre you would publicly qualify yourself to speak about it!
      these talmud quotes that have been circulating among Jew haters on the web for decades are nearly all mistranslated, out of context, not a followed opinion and even outright forgeries just copied-pasted enough that people think they are real.
      for example on your link, the Choshen Ha'mishpat 425:50 quote is an outright forgery
      Choshen Ha'mishpat is not the Talmud lol, it's a subsection of the Shulchan Aruch dealing with monetary law. This quote is not there at all and completely unrelated to the legal subject matter of that section.

      @Valerie O'Brien What a crock of nonsense. The NT is pure fiction written by fiction authors , Paul the worst of the lot...You need to get your head screwed on properly...here's your first step...Visit Rabbi Tovia Singer videos on youtube and also outreachjudaism dot org , jewsforjudaism dot org ...jesus is a false messiah...Deut 13: 2-6; Deut 4:39 Isaiah 46:9 For every offense you give, there's a proper defense, remember that.
