    Nazarenic Judaism - Unorthodox?!

    Jewishness of Ancient Church Tradition

    Shir: I am not going to agree with you on this. Nor am I going to disagree with you on this. Neither you nor me sit on a Beis Din and thus have no authority to act as judge. I am reminded of a story I once heard about the late Lubavitcher Rebbe. A man runs into shul on Yom Kippur for the...

    Jewishness of Ancient Church Tradition

    Contra my friend. Just because this was your experience does not mean it is universal. I for one am usually sad that the sun has gone down so quickly and wish it would stay awhile.

    Jewishness of Ancient Church Tradition

    I completely agree. I love the Yom Kippur services especially. Very enriching. Back before I became a frummie I would go out of my way to Doven at an Orthodox Shul for the High Holidays. I've been to both Reform and Orthodox services and personally do not find the reform services fulfilling...

    Describe Messianism.

    absolutely. according to the standard laws of the english language, Messiahist would be a much better descriptor. For instance, its not Seventh Day Adventic but Seventh Day Adventist. don't know really what the solution is, and don't really care as ultimately it is the members of a...

    Shalom Y'all!

    I would say probably not. Seems they don't particularly care for anyone who doesn't quite hoe the party line. Tie to get some Shalom Bayis and for that it is time to leave. Yochi

    Shalom Y'all!

    to my friends here: since Jews are apparently no longer welcome here, unless we say things that violate our faith and conscience, it is time for me to go. so to my friends who are staying, I say shalom. Y'all can catch me on skype as ZionistJew should you have a wish to do so. My deepest...

    Machmir Pesach

    I must admit, being an environmentalist, that when I go to the store to buy foil for pesach I wear an extra large hat and sunglasses. yochanan

    Solomons Temple not on present day Temple Mount?

    interesting, albeit from my POV completely odd, perspective. Even before I made Tshuva I never believed this. It was clear to me that in the OT it states clearly that there will be another Beis HaMikdash. Yochanan

    A Rare Mitzvah

    well you must have been one with the first time, because you couldn't possibly be over 29, 30.... Yochanan PS: does that get me a cake when I finally make it out that way for shabbas? ;)

    A Rare Mitzvah

    isn't this exciting? its the first time in my life I've had a chance to fulfill this mitzvah. What a great joy it is to fulfill a mitzvah and bring a little bit more goodness to the world. Yochanan
