I'm not contradicting myself . This Edith Stein , a Jewess who became a nun , thus converted , was always seen as a Jewess by the Nazis , and thus send to the death camp . You did not answer my question : are you Jewish ? or do belong to one of those sects ?

In your # 56 you wrote that people ,orthodox would not consider Jewish were also murdered in the Shoa . I only did confirm this by telling the story of this ex Jewess . Do not distord writings , as many people do who tb . Try to understand what people are writing . I know that my English is not 100 % , but a child , not a vicious person , can understand it . I did not contradict myself .
63. 3 td for Shiloh
charles ,   petach tikva   (07.06.07)
I clearly wrote that she was a nun . Her name is well known , her history also . But you , have seen only a "converted" and jumped at this , happy to find a "contradiction" in my thinking . So as you made this mistake , due to ignorance of some names , the whole of your tb has no value , as is your thinking . Believe in prophecies if you want , i'm living in the 21th century , not in the dark middle ages . Can't you find something by yourself ? i do'nt think we will meet in the future , so i'll not ptrepare a drink for you . My good bottles are for intelligent people , not attarded .
64. #28 - Haredim Want to be Left Alone
John ,   Maaleh Adumim,Israel   (07.06.07)
If they want to live and be left alone so much, then how come taxes I pay go to them while they produce nothing in return for the rest of the society, having huge families that the money of everyone else have to support? How come they get health insurance to go to good secular or modern orthodox doctors, dentists, and other specialists while they education they provide for their children will make sure they never produce such helpful members of society.

Shiloh   (07.07.07)
In your english, which I understand is a 3rd language, kol hakavod it sure looked like a contradiction when you said a converted Jewess. That means a goy become a Jew. Then saying she was a nun could be before or after the fact. Since the statement was after a converted Jewess, it would easily lead someone to think that she was converted from a nun. Being traditional Jewish Israeli last time I checked is not as you say a sect. I hope that is clear to you. What you hate most about a person is nothing more then a mirror of one's self.

I also gave her name , a very known one , and certainly one you can call Jewish , but if you never heard of her , i'm sorry for your ignorance . And in case of doubds there is Google [ 700000+entries ] i did'nt have to google , i knew her name . She is one of the "special" victims of the Shoa , not an anonymous one , a very known person .

Traditional Jewish ? And you write Shabbat ? for me it's secular . If you follow traditions , keeping Shabbat is one of the rules . Regarding this Edith Stein , where did i say that i considered her to be Jewish ? I only said she was also a victim , nothing to do with Jewish Neshama . Do'nt distord peoples writings . This is one of the things i hate , not a mirror of myself .
68. # 28 RBS Left Alone
charles ,   petach tikva   (07.07.07)
They want to be left alone to preserve their way of life ? OK , no problem for me . But let them also live the other people as they want . They have'nt any right to impose their way of life to others !
69. This has been public knowledge for years
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (07.09.07)
Big bloody deal
70. Mea Shearim moves to Beit Shemesh
Alan ,   London, England   (07.09.07)
As a frum jew in London, I want to say that I strenuously object to this despicable behaviour. According to the law the signs were illegal and therefore the posters must come down. Violence is never an option when peaceful protest has not been tried.
71. The solution to haredi violence:
Yitzhak ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (07.16.07)
1. Crack down hard on rioiting. 2. Stop all welfare payments to ablebodied men who choose not to work. 3. Draft Yeshiva students into the IDF. 4. Deport Neturei Karta and other groups not loyal to Israel. Israel needs to get tough on the haredi fanatics.
72. Haredim in Beit Shemesh
Ben ,   Near Haifa Israel   (12.21.08)
We are all supposed to be Jews in our Homeland and you religious uneducated fanatics are destroying all that we stand for! You have destroyed Jerusalem and now that there is an educated normal human being as mayor, you animals are bent on destroying another beautiful city as well. Why don't you all build your own city in the Negev and do what you want there, without disturbing decent respectable, normal human beings? Actually no! You would destroy another wonderful place steeped in history as well! You all, are a disgrace to the very essence of our being Jewish.
73. #17..they were older men..not kids..
Edithann ,   USA   (12.22.08)
Why would you excuse this behavior on any grounds? Are you out of your mind? They were adult males..and he went and got more adult males and it's a disgrace on any level..even if they walked naked.. It's interesting..as an outsider looking it..there are two extremes. in all this Judaism....one extreme being the worlds formost Porn and Traffickers in women..and the other feigning modesty by beating them up women.. Go figure! TATA..
74. Haredi
BARBARA GODDING ,   BRISTOL RI USA   (04.07.09)
that kind of behavior is not alloed in the us because if they threw a rock at a cop here they are immediately arrested also if the say something to a woman about the way she is dressed they are liable to get beaten up or shot
