31. racism
hs ,   bklyn ny   (08.28.09)
The real question here is kosher or not. Something that is not kosher doesn't belong in the synagogue. this is not unfit because of arab backround. It's not just an indecent comment but also inaccurate.

marilyn ,   USA   (08.28.09)
I confused about your sentence concerning white. In Christianity the color white symbolizes purity and innocence. Therefore perhaps it has a similiar meaning in Judaism.
33. To Charlie, love of my keyboard
John ,   Europe   (08.28.09)
Charly, darling, are you still mad because I had problems with your racial theories? First, you call me a whore-user, then you slander. Of course, my answer is skipped by the censors cause I do not spit on you. Yours is incitement, slander - so it passed. Spit as much as you want, but blood is next to nothing. If blood would be THAT important, it would be promptly stated in Torah - we would not need rabbis to extract "Who is a Jew" from various verses. It would be like forbearance of idolatry - stated 24 times. :)
34. Shofars
ari ,   Ashkelon   (08.28.09)
Perhaps we shouldn't buy shofars from Sweden.or from Ikea either.
35. #3 How can you say that? They teach rabbinic Judaism.
Josh   (08.28.09)
There is no one who is responsible for my livid thinking other than me and the good G-d above. How dare you give them credit.
36. thanks
Ali ,   Washington DC   (08.28.09)
very amusing story. how about referee whistles? any restrictions there?
37. 28 paqid - then why your racism and hate toward people?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.28.09)
disagreeing is normal, expected. so then why do you berate and slander people because of who they are and what they think? it is no different than what the KKK does - same hate and degradation, different targets.
38. #32 I agree you're confused - Charles
Josh   (08.29.09)
Judaism is not Christianity. You can look it up online if you are really interseted in why white is worn.
39. Colors
Marilyn ,   USA   (08.29.09)
I'm not Charles. Anyways ancient Judaism and Christianity are to some extent like brothers. They have enough in common to have crossover in some aspects. With the colors it's very important and maybe a very ancient way of communicating certain ideas.

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.29.09)
writes Shabbat . Hypocrite
41. Johnny baby . Where did i spit on you ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.29.09)
I'll tell you , you are such an unimportant guy here , that i don't even remember "our discussions" . But if you want , i'll tell you that you are'nt even worth to be spitted on .

43. no even one animal rights group on this forum
observer   (08.29.09)
or, you are reserving them seats when the Temple is re-established and barraging the slaughtered Korbanot blood and burning their flesh on mizbe'ah is resumed.
44. to #43 Why? Is someone trampling on your rights?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.29.09)
45. to # 14, the Swedish b..
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (08.29.09)
What would you say if your famous Neutrogena cream would have been manufactured with swin cream at a bargain price in an Arab country ?
46. #44 No, just warning the unwary from trampling on your tail

47. #68 history
observer   (08.29.09)
'The Phoenicians, with the Syrians of Palestine…have a tradition that in ancient times they lived on the Persian Gulf, but migrated to the Syrian coast, where they are found today. This part of Syria, together with the country which extends southward to Egypt, is all known as Palestine.' (Herodotus, The Histories, Book 7,89; Penguin, p472) This is what archaeologists have learned from their excavations in the Land of Israel: the Israelites were never in Egypt, did not wander in the desert, did not conquer the land in a military campaign and did not pass it on to the 12 tribes of Israel. Perhaps even harder to swallow is that the united monarchy of David and Solomon, which is described by the Bible as a regional power, was at most a small tribal kingdom." (Ha'aretz Magazine, October 1999)
48. 42 , josh the self proclaimed convert
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.30.09)
Who desecrates Shabbat . Another proof that he is only a FAKE Jew , one who adores his Yeshua .
49. 37 Provide exact quotations NOT baseless misrepresentations
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.30.09)
One of your messages seemed lucid and free of slander so I responded to it to encourage you to continue in that direction. You immediately reverted to baseless (i.e., lacking exact quotation, in context, documentation or mathematical logic) misrepresentation, which is slander. To give you the benefit of the doubt, I think you may confuse YOUR IMPRESSION of what people write with what they actually write. That is another reason to discipline yourself to address and deal with quotations. I suspect you'll find that the actual quotation doesn't support your (so far) baseless accusations. If you continue with ad hominem slander I'll simply go back to ignoring you along with the other slanderers; as every person with a decent intellect does.
50. 49 pakeed - don't play dumb
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.30.09)
heard of google? in case you forget all of the bile you spew about 'goyyim, christians, arabs, charles, seculars, etc, go look it up - you know what you have said and to deny it shows more of your deceptive ways. after all, if someone feels slandered by you, it is because they have a confused impression, right? you ignore because you CAN'T ANSWER questions about your credibility as a kosher jew convert, like jewish leaders of any credibility who will go on record to endorse your teachings. your non-answers tell us all we need to know.
51. 49 , ....as every person with a decent intellect does ...
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.30.09)
Coming from the least decent guy it looks funny . A decent person , YOU ?
52. #49 Paqid Yirmeyahu i didnt know they had caves in Rannana
Avi ,   Israel   (08.30.09)
As you must obviously be living in one !
53. 49 - speaking of "baseless representations"
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.31.09)
how about clearing up your baseless representations of beliefs you claim are acceptable to the jewish faith? a) where is a rabbi of credibility that endorses your teachings? b) where are your teachings used in jewish scholarship? c) where is a precedent for what you claim before you arrived on the scene? your teachings are no more acceptable to rabbinic judaism than messianic jewish teachings. and your silence proves me right *yawn* yet again.
54. Mike , 50 . I , slandered by this guy ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (08.31.09)
His "nice words" come from such a low moral level that they don't touch me at all . Were he a honest respected guy it would be different , but he is'nt .
55. #6 you always find something wrong with jews don't you ?
rachel ,   usa   (09.01.09)
don't you have anything else to do but hate?
56. #7 give us a break
rachel ,   usa   (09.01.09)
