1. Tefilin in the AM, Non-Kosher in the PM
PJ ,   NY, USA   (12.16.05)
This line from this article struck me hard: "But as a rabbi, how can you accept people that put on tefillin in the morning and eat non-kosher food in the evening? " I am such a person, I don't eat treif such as pork/shellfish but I do eat nonkosher meat and mix meat and cheese. I also put on tefilin in the morning. But I feel that as a Jew, I do what works for me and I feel that giving something is better than nothing, going to shul on the high holidays and some Shabbat's is better than doing nothing. It's when other Yehudim judge me that I get irate. We each do what's best for ourselves, we each have a connection to H' that we are comfortable with, no Yehudi is better than another, but I do feel that we should all do something to say to H' Toda for the good that he brings into my life.
2. Let every Jew return to the Temple Mount

Isn't the Temple Mount Judaism's holiest site? When will Jews act like it and get serious about their prayers for the Third Temple? http://templemountjerusalem.blogspot.com/
