  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I did a quick google search to see if I could find anything about this and found a little bit...I'm glad this question was asked. I was taught to do this years ago and my children have been growing up just doing it. Never even considered that not everyone does this.

When you drop a yarmulke or a tallis, a kiddush cup or a menorah, you pick it up and dust it off. When you drop a Siddur or a Humash, you kiss it.

This is funny. As I started reading this thread I thought about telling her that Catholics do this. You said it for me Yes, if we drop the bible we kiss it. (We got a lot of our customs from the Jewish customs)
