Two of the leading Democratic contenders for nomination to the Presidency, Bernie Sanders and Mike Bloomberg, are Jewish. What is interesting, is that their Jewishness doesn't seem to be an issue for non-Jews. Indeed the only talk I've ever heard is some grumbling from fellow Jews that Sanders...

This post may be a little late in coming, but it's still on my mind these weeks later. I had many good happy times during the Chanukah holiday, but I can't help but feel like they were spoiled by the anti-Semitic violence in NYC. Every time I sat down to a good time, thoughts of the attacks...

I know that some of you have been following my spiritual crisis, and some of you haven't. Basically, beginning with the scandal over Cardinal Pell, increasing with the problems over the Chile affair, and then going off the deep end with the summer of shame (including the Pope being in it up to...

Ecumenical Patriarch hands over decree, sealing Ukraine church independence | Reuters "ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The spiritual leader of Orthodox Christians worldwide on Sunday presented the head of the Ukrainian church with a decree granting it independence from Moscow, a historic split strongly...

I can't believe another year has ended, and another year has begun, filled with hope. I want to begin by thanking you all for this forum. It continues to mean a great deal to me. Although I am mostly a lurker, and sometimes post just in fellowship, I appreciate being kept abreast of what's...

Have you ever taken affront at someone's hypocrisy? The way they point a finger at you as way of not seeing their own flaws???? It really bugs me when people say "You are a sinner," instead of "we are sinners." It's perfectly okay for God to call me a sinner. But it is chutzpah for someone...

I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't been posting lately. I'm taking a break from CF. It will probably be a long one, perhaps permanent -- I can't say at this point. I'm pretty confused. I have been a member of this forum as a Messianic Jew who practices MJ while attending a regular...

You've probably noticed that I've stopped posting. I'm leaving, and it's going to be for quite some time, perhaps even permanently. I can't say at this point. I just know I'm angry and hurt and disappointed and scandalized beyond words. And I just can't take it anymore. The Philadelphia...

Climate change is here and is affecting the entire globe -- not just the polar bears or tiny islands vulnerable to rising sea levels -- scientists say. It is on the doorsteps of everyday Americans, Europeans and Asians, and the best evidence shows it will get much worse. This summer, 119 people...

I'm sure even those of you not plagued by it have heard in the news about the awful heat wave hitting the south and southwest. It was 105 today. Earlier this month it got up to 117. I'm sitting in my apartment with the swamp cooler on and it's still over 85. I'm worried because I know that...

I'm just wondering if you Trumpsters still support the President even in his shameful statements he made in his joint press conference with Putin. For those of you catching up with the news, Trump is denying that Russia interfered with the last election, and actually disparaged the US...

Lately we have been arguing about how best to observe Shabbat, but we all agree that it is a delight to welcome the Shabbos bride. It is a day of rest, and that is something we are all doing in our own ways. May all of you know peace, joy, and delight in Him on this holy Shabbat. OH

We are prohibited from making idols, including idols of God. But for some reason we persist in paint pictures of him. Why? The Father is spirit. He does not need feet for walking, or fingers to grasp objects with, or a rib cage to hold in his vital organs. When we speak of the "arm of God,"...

Adequate records were not kept of which parents and which children were sent where. Parents were given one case number, children an entirely different number, and nothing was cross referenced. Now, tonight on CBS evening news, they are actually saying that DNA testing may be the quickest way...

I love it that there Catholics from all over the world in this forum. We are truly universal. I think it was just a couple days ago that some of us were celebrating Canada Day. But today my mind is upon my own country, and the anniversary of the signing of our Declaration of Independence...

On another thread it was suggested that on Shabbat we should refrain from our own pleasures. Where does this idea come from? It certainly has no origin in the Torah or Oral Torah. The prohibition is for work, not pleasure. Consider all the pleasures that are so traditional to the Shabbat...

My daughter is in the hospital on suicide watch. PTSD from more than one rape. Stuff that happened this week set off flashbacks. Please pray, she's really in bad shape.
