    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    as I stated in post#17. My reply was "in the interest of precision" nothing else. No minimizing nor other agendas.

    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    The problem is that with the exception of the most prominent stories, we never get to hear about Holocaust rescue. The price of failure was so high that only the most righteous would ever attempt it and having done their duty they'd never talk about it. The stories that we do know, are the...

    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    No, not in 1940. What you describe was common later in the war and it applied primarily to Jewish children. An act of baptism was usually not enough without outside help. That was provided by an undergroud organization called ZEGOTA(Polish Council to Aid Jews) which was founded in 1942 and did...

    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    Of course Vad Yashem makes mistakes-it's testimony and eye witness driven organization. Biased against what, my own people? Maximilian Kolbe was a righteous man no matter what. Do you think that by insisting erroneously that he gave his life for a Jew somehow adds to the drama or makes it more...

    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. Mr. Gajowniczek's KL Auschwitz # was 5659 from September 8, 1940. A very low number. Before Auschwitz-Birkenau became the killing factory for the Jews, it was a concentration camp for Poles(political prisoners). There was no active,organized resistance...

    Holocaust - Sacrificing ones life

    Roman Catholic. It's also not true(contrary to the Wiki entry) that he was involved in helping Jews. Mr. Gajowniczek was a soldier, taken POW in '39 during the Polish campaign. Wanting to continue the fight he decided to join Polish formations being reconstituted in France and UK. He was...

    Judaism: culture, customs, traditions, rituals and festivals

    There's nothing unusual about third person narrative. Probably the most influencial work by a Roman- Commentarii de Bello Gallico- written by Julius Ceasar is a first hand account written in the third person. Third person narratives are pretty common. Xenophon's Anabassis is another example...

    Jews/Messianics relationship to the Torah

    what about them? I don't know what Reform believe, not really. Conservatives are not that different from Orthodox. Orthodox have many streams and levels of observance. Talmud teaches that we're all individuals with different perceptions and understandings. The moment G-d gave the Torah to the...

    Jews/Messianics relationship to the Torah

    I love the story of Jonah. We get distracted by the big fish and his cowardice, but my favourite part is "And G-d saw their actions that they repented from their evil way and G-d relented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto them" (Jonah 3:7-10). Simplicity itself. I agree. MJs...

    Jews/Messianics relationship to the Torah

    Yeah, rules of all kind are often inconvenient. And you don't have to follow them. And you don't need a sacrifice for sin nor will the sacrifice absolve you from intentional sin anyway- even if there was a Temple. Not without an act of repentance. And repentance should not wait for Yom Kippur...

    Jews/Messianics relationship to the Torah

    You're Jewish, right? What did G-d commanded us to do? To keep His commandments, to be in awe of Him at all times, to be righteous and holy. Remember the sin offering for the unintentional sin? That's what the fences are for. Not only from the corruption of the word of G-d, but to help us to...

    Jews/Messianics relationship to the Torah

    LOL! This really derails the thread. It's a question of authority. The Torah states the dairy/meat prohibition three times, hence it was taken very seriously by our Sages(in position of authority) and that's the end of the story for us. It's like driving on Shabbat or white tzitzit. Are they...
