I heard it too from someone I never thought would believe something so silly.
Isn't that what they say about Mormons, too? Do the Mormons have relations through holes in sheets? I really did hear that.
It's often the case that people think ALL KINDS of things about those whom they are unfamiliar with. I'm not familiar enough with Mormon customs to know what's true and what's untrue. I know this definitely isn't a Jewish custom.
So do non-Messianic Jews when it comes to YHVHUnlike so many other religions, I've found that Messianic religions look to their Savior to give them those things it is up to God alone to give. It is not our good karma, nor our religious discipline, but His goodness and love for us that gets us all the blessings we have.
True Messianic believers, I would say, live in a state of humble appreciation that they cannot control God with good deeds, but welcome blessings from God with an open heart.
- I have run into people who don't understand the difference between Judaism and Christianity. They know absolutely nothing about Judaism and so assume it's essentially the same.
- I'm dealing with a friend now who is being told that Israelis don't belong in Israel because they aren't the real Hebrews and the world has been duped. She's reading The Thirteenth Tribe. This is a grown woman! We've been sorting it out for a couple weeks. I give her a little bit of information at a time. I'm not that knowledgeable myself but it's been a nice opportunity to learn.
- Oh, I met a girl who thought Jewish people never drink alcohol! I thought that was humorous.
I know there are more but I can't think of them right now. I do have a childhood friend who just learned of my intent to convert. He wanted to inform me that Jews murder Palestinians at an obscene rate.
Muktzeh (מוקצהrefers to things that you are not allowed to handle on Shabbat and festivals because handling them could lead someone unwittingly to desecrate the day.
For example, a pencil is muktzeh on Shabbat, since handling a pencil (or pen) might make you unwittingly start writing something. You have no need to handle a pencil except for writing, so why do you need to handle it on Shabbat?
Flashdrives and other electronic devices are considered "muktzeh" on Shabbat, as are animals outside of your house. I've never understood anything to say that a pet is muktzeh (since it's like one of your family), but it's certainly true that feeding a pet chametz-based pet food during Pesach is a real problem.
(ChavaK, I know you're aware of all of the issues. I just didn't know if other readers would know what muktzeh was.)
Traditionally, we didn't feed them grain, or our pets for that matter. They ate grass, hay, alfalfa and weeds and herbs. In fact, a lot of the reason our livestock are so medicated, is because of how we feed them, and WHAT we feed them. Cows were not meant to eat the way they eat these days, nor are the goats and sheep we eat.I am curious about the livestock. They eat grains and must be fed. I've noticed throughout Torah HaShem has made provisions for these types of issues. Seems we're (humankind) the ones who add more to it that is expected and we end up sometimes painting ourselves into a corner.

One reason for this might be she heard alcoholism is rare in Jewish families.
I hear rattlesnake meat is quite tastyI attend a southern nondenominational, pentecostal sort of, charismatic church. People say "if I visit will you be sure to keep the snakes inside the box" ?
Yedida, I bet you probably heard this a few times before becoming MJ.

Yedida, sounds like an interesting journey!
I had this preconception; I guess- you being close to those Appalachian mountains and all.
Studying some of the history behind why many of those churches chose to handle snakes is intriguing. Of course, I like the way that snakes operate..as they're beautiful creatures. But I'm not going to test it. One of the fellowships I go to, which is Charismatic, had to address that same issue when it came to people trying to stereotype as if anything connected with "charismatic" terminology means you're like the Churches in North Georgia that handle snake and drink poison. To give those churches props, I do respect the fact that they do try to take some parts of the Word literally when it comes to Mark 16---as Paul did encounter snakes on Malta and was not harmed when one had bitten him. However, he didn't go seeking one out as if he was a snake charmerI attend a southern nondenominational, pentecostal sort of, charismatic church.
