31. Insult to Judaism!
Moshe ,   telaviv   (10.31.08)
We dont need slots to convert to Judaism. We need the likes of mother Teresa, not the likes of Princess Diana.
32. 25 - and does this also apply to paqid?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.31.08)
33. CHARLES..HAHAHA WHAT A DUMMY LOL
..............DACON9   (10.31.08)
MY REFERENCE OF MONEY WAS NOT THEM AS MUCH AS THE RABBIS OR THEM OR THE SHUL OR ALL I ASKED AND I PRAYED THAT I AM WRONG ON ALL ACCOUNTS THAT OUR JEWISH LEADERSHIP DID NOT LOWER THE TORAH STANDARDS AGAIN FOR MONEY.. I KNOW THE KUSHNER FAMILY ARE VERY OBSERVANT AND RESPECTED FOR THE GENOROSITY TO TORAH INSTITUTIONS BUT CHARLIE ... USUALLY PEOPLE MARRY WITHIN THEIR OWN ECONOMIC BRACKET BECAUSE USUALLY THATS WHO THEY MEET THROUGH COMMON ASSOCIATIONS...AND FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT MONEY IS NOT THE REASON FOR MARRIGE. CHARLIE..I DONT MIND BEING CORRECTED BUT PLEASE ''CHARLIE THE GENIUS'' WHO KNOWS ALL AND SEES ALL.. WE HAVE BEEN POSTING TO YNET A LONG TIME..WHY DO YOU MAKE EVERYTHING SO PERSONAL.. AND NOT POST BASED ON FACTS OR QUESTIONING FACTS BUT CHARLIE MAH MAAAN. YOU ARE STILL THE DUMMY. OH CHARLIE LISTEN UP I BOUGHT A BOOK ''HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS FOR DUMMIES'' AND YOUR PICTURE WAS ON THE COVER.. WHAT A COINCIDENCE............
34. 27,29,31: Yeshua is a historical fact. Read the Archives of
Rivkah   (10.31.08)
Rome to see a reference to him: About 2,000 years ago, a Roman named publius Lentulus wrote a report to his emperor, Tiberius, and included the following description of the man known as Jesus Christ: "A tall, well-proportioned man, his hair is the color of new wine...curled as it falls to (his shoulders). Upon the forehead, it parts in two. His forehead is flat and fair, his face without blemish or defect and adorned with a graceful expression. His nose and mouth are very well proportioned; his beard thick and the color of his hair, red gold. His eyes are gray and extemely lively. He is the hoandsomest man in the world." --The report is kept in the Archives of Rome. The historian Josephus also describes Yeshua (Jesus Christ). With all the witnesses who saw him and his family, many of whom wrote about him, you cannot say he did not exist and be truthful or accurate. Yeshua the Messiah was a REAL Jew, an Orthodox Jew who kept the commandments of God (not the oral traditions of men) to perfection. He is the only person in all history to have done so.
35. 31 Moshe: When your daughter or wife or sister are attacked
Rivkah   (10.31.08)
and sexually assaulted, it is unlikely you will call them a dirty word. Or perhaps you would. Remember that King David's mother conceived him in sin because Psalms quotes David as saying, "In sin did my mother conceive me." Was his concubine mother raped by Jesse, David's father or coerced by him as a person in higher authority? I would say, yes. Did David rape Bathsheba? Yes, since he was in a position of higher authority and could harm her husband and did! Princess Diana was a slut and had numerous extra-marital affairs. Mother Teresa was so cruel, she would take away the mattress from people who were dying and let them die on a hard flat surface, giving them no narcotics for pain. Read the book, "The Missionary Position" about Mother Theresa to see what a horrible person she was. She died with millions in her bank account, but gave only aspirin for pain for the most wretched people, telling them Jesus was kissing them. Most nuns I have met were/are sluts. The high rate of cervical cancer among them attests to multiple sex partners. Elizabeth Hage was a Roman Catholic nun who said she was the only virgin nun she knew. She left that order and religion and was a virgin when she married. You should look at the righteousness of God that clothes me, not the tragedies of my life, of being raped by a teenage uncle, my brothers, and others who preyed on the handicapped since I could not defend myself with cranio-vertebral-joint-misalignment which causes stress from the base of my skull to my feet when my neck muscles tense in a conflict. I can assure you most handicapped women are attacked and there are few prosecutions because no one sees their value. But beware of attacking me now. I carry a million volt stun gun and other concealed weapons that can stop an attack. The biting the carotid or other artery of an attacked is sure to cause death, but that is also a weapon that women should use.
36. DaCON , you are the king of the "con"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.31.08)
And you think that your "capitals" impress the people ? , not me . Sorry but that's all you have . I repeat : when people say : they marry for $$$ it's because he/she has , and the second not . Did it enter your small brains , or have i to repeat it a third time ? I was'nt personal against you , but this you did'nt understand . Poor , poor CON .
37. Erica , it's still converting to get married
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.31.08)
And that they are highly educated , have money , has no relation to this .
38. Ivanka, well done. Welcome to the club!
yehudi ,   palestine   (10.31.08)
Why those angry and jealous replies? Should she convert to Islam, the same people would be be barking.
39. #26 CLAIM IS MENTIONED OVER AND OVER SINCE
..............DACON9   (10.31.08)
#26 MY CLAIM? IS MENTIONED SINCE YOUR **man made god** lived and sinned and went to the dark side for his tricks.. AND YOUR CHURCH BURNED RECORDS OF THIS BUT STILL HOLDS THE ORIGINAL WRITINGS OF HIS EVILS AND TRICKERIES what a joke you tell me about a ''man made writings '' while all your writings and gospels contradict one another as much as they dont even agree which path he took on his last walk to die as a man made god or where he is buried..mind he viagra couldnt make him rise now. AND DIDNT PAUL SAY ITS OK TO LIE TO PROMOTE BELIEF IN your **man made god** which xtian said its ok to kill destroy wipe out cultures to force conversion or die.your religion has only killed for your **man made god**. all your writings created to fit the needs of the writer to create a myth and an amazing thing .. your man made god was a jew remember that? so the JEWISH scribes at the time told of his heresy OF THE TIMES. YOUR FILTHY CHUCH WHO REFUSES TO HAND ISRAEL THE NAMES OF FORCED CONVERSO JEWS FROM HOLOCAUST AND SPANISH INQUISITION AND RELIGIOUS ARTIFACS FROM OUR TEMPLE,,your church ALSO HAS THE WRITINGS THAT SHOW your man made god was a liar a fraud a vagabond and more... AND LISTEN LOST SOULS... YOU XTIANS LOOK FOR HIDDEN hints allusions mysterious references trying to twist hebrew misinterpreting to maybe lead to your **man made god** but it aint there.. THE GREATEST OF PROPHETS MOSES with all his chats with the ONE G'D OF ISRAEL AND ALL THE HEBREW SAGES ARE OPENLY MENTIOINED TIME AND TIME AGAIN.. IF YOUR **man made god**( hahha) was a god WHY WOULD TORAH NOT MENTION him as openly as MOSES OR JOSHUA OR ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB OR KORACH OR BILAAM OR BALACK OR JOSEPH OR ...OR...OR...OR..OR HAHAHA YOU SILLY XTIANS I AM SURE '''CREATED'' THE ANSWER ...HAHAHA OH YEAH XTIANS WHAT ABOUT THE COMMANDMENT WHERE THE ''ONE GD OF ISRAEL SAID.. ''THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME' THERE IS NONE OTHER THAN ME'' HVE NO OTHER gods BEFORE ME'' ANOTHER ITEM through out JEWISH PRAYERS WE CONSTANTLY PROCLAIM ''ONE GD'' ''THE ONE'' SO YOU NOW HAVE A man made god that means you dont accept the words of GD GIVEN TO THE WORLD THROUGH MOSES . SO I CONCLUDE THAT YOU ARE DENIERS OF G'D OF TORAH AN BELIEVERS IN MICKEY MOUSE LAST ITEM YOU CANNOT BRING YOUR CROSSES ,YOUR IDOLS, YOUR IMAGES TO ISRAEL TO THE MT OF G'D WHEN THE MESSIAH ARRIVES THAT IS ALSO WRITTEN ISRAEL, THE NATION IS G'DS FIRST BORN SON YOU CAN BE PART OF THE REDEMPTION BY BEING A RIGHTOUS GENTILE FOLLOW THE NOAHIDE LAWS BY A TORAH ORTHODOX RABBI not by a xtian,not by a reform or conservative ONLY FROMA TORAH ORTHODOX RABBI CAN YOU LEARN TORAH.. AM YISRAEL CHAI SHEMA YISRAEL
40. When I got mattied to Hassan I haven't became Moslem
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC   (10.31.08)
I remained a fsaithful Catholic Jew. I don't think Ivonka should convert at all. As a wife of a Moslim man I respect Mohammed but put my faith in Jesus.
41. #31
mark ,   ca   (11.01.08)
First of all she is more than you can expect from your child,if you have any.Ivanka was rased extremely well.The fact that she takes her future husband's religion, elevates her even more.
42. LASHON HARAH
Zvi   (11.01.08)
Leave the woman alone. The bigotry expressed in many of these talkbacks is LASHON HARAH. It is uncalled for and seems mostly to arise from jealousy. If she is sincere, then it is wonderful that she is converting to Judaism. We should always celebrate when someone who is sincere converts, regardless of who they are. If she is not sincere, then that is her problem, not yours and not mine. Either way, it is LASHON HARAH to call her evil names and it is pointless to judge her. Leave her alone and work on reducing your own hostility before judging others.
43. OMFG!
Upper East Sider ,   NYC   (11.01.08)
WOW - I literally live a 10 minute walk from this shul and a number of my friends daven there regularly. Just so everyone knows - KEHILLAT JESHURUN IS AN ORTHODOX SHUL. I think one of the Rabbis there is the son of Rav Soloveitchik of "Halachic Man" fame. The shul's website is here: http://www.ckj.org/splash.html Funny - maybe we should go down there and invite Ivanka and Jared over for Shabbes!
44. Yaakov Sullivan, I have voted yes to proportion 8,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (11.01.08)
If you talk like that in Saudi Arabia and any Islamic nation they will cut your head.
45. What a joke! Jared needs to find a real Jewish woman!
Not Amused ,   Chicago   (11.01.08)
Ivanka resisted converting to Judaism for a long time and that is why Jared, with a lot of pressure from his family, broke-up with her in April. I guess Ivanka finally gave in and is "converting" to please Jared's family. I blame Jared for all this! If Jared was such an observant Jew and wanted a Jewish wife why did he start dating Ivanka in the first place? Jared is a phony and should convert to Ivanka's WASPY Christianity. The "Orthodox" Rabbi doing the phony "conversion" is known to hurry the process because he obviously gets paid a lot of money by rich families like the Kushner's. money. Ivanka's "conversion" will be as real as her nose, lips, and boobs!
46. to #5 I sure hope you are not a Jew!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.01.08)
We have enough self haters and do not need more.
47. I ALWAYS LIKED IVANKA, IT'S A JEWISH REINCARNATION!
Lynne Shaletsky ,   Bethlehem, USA   (11.01.08)
Has anyone ever thought, maybe it's REINCARNATIONAL? Many converts are the souls of Shoah victims reborn in goyish families and have overwhelming urges to belong to anything Jewishkeit. Orthodox Judaism believes in reincarnation, to a degree. Families name grandchildren after bubbies & zaydes who recently parted the Earth in hopes of the soul of their dearly departed continuing on this plane by their dearly departed. Ivanka, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
48. The meaning of life=#42
roli ,   miami beach, fl   (11.01.08)
Zvi is right. Not only are the comments made by some of the posters demeaning to Ivanka or should I say "Sarah bat Sarah"... They are also insulting to the members of the congregation she is attending. She is a young woman who has only proven herself to be a faithful daughter to her father, who has time after time conducted honest and prosperous business dealings with Jews around the globe, long before his daughter was even born. So many people hate us without needing a reason, because that is the nature of evil in this world. Those who are friends, who learn from us, who take the time to teach us how to accept them with kindness, are no longer strangers and their progeny mingle with ours because love conquers all. Where does love begin or end? With the stranger. To love someone you have never met, but who you know is on your side show's your ability to love Hashem.
49. Rivkahle, Testim. Flav. is a forgery , an interpolation.
JMK ,   NYC   (11.01.08)
as are all sightings and references, why do you need your fictional man god to be observant the last supper had zero relationship to the festival of matzoh, passover, that;s just one of thousands of points o be made, the whole NT was copied and pasted "in fulfillment of prophesy" ??? Jesus never never existed anymore than William Tell, Paul Bunyan and Mr. Clean.
50. Jason , # 5 pretends to be Jewish
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.01.08)
But such a "Jew" "ken mir geganved weren" [ can be stolen for me ]
51. Lynne # 47 .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.01.08)
Reincarnation ? do you believe in those "boube maaises" ? We live in the 21th century , wake up !
52. 49 JMK: Watch the History International Channel's program
Rivkah   (11.01.08)
"The Naked Archeologist" when Shimka J. discusses Josephus and Shimka is a Jew from Canada. Josephus was real and his writings were almost a 100% accurate.
53. would ivanka convert if she were not getting a jewish man?
(11.01.08)
probably not. converts are always MARGINAL s if the marriagefails then too so does the religious converts mostly also
54. reply to Jason White #46
(11.01.08)
Can you read into the future? How can you address post #51, when your post come before at 46?
55. reply to #50
Moshe ,   telaviv   (11.01.08)
#5 may not be pretending to be Jewish. Unfortunately what he is saying do happen on occasions.
56. siblings of a Torah observant are not Jews
observer   (11.01.08)
even if they marry Jews, the siblings of the siblings are still not Jews, as long as they are not Khazars.
57. Kehilat Jeshurun
Yerach ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (11.01.08)
is an Orthodox synagogue & its mara d'atra is Rabbi Haskel Lookstein who is a big macher in the RCA(Rabbinical Council of America). RCA conversions are recognized by the rabbanut harashit.
58. Mazel Tov Ivanka and Jared!
ariella ,   florida   (11.01.08)
If anyone would ever really try to understand the NT they would come to the conclusion that the only lesson to be learned from it is to follow Torah...."LOVE G_D and OTHERS" that is the entire torah without the details..the TRUMPS are people who love G-d and others and know that the G-d of ISRAEL is the only ONE TRUE G-d of ALL PEOPLE and I believe Ivanka Trump is a Good person who tries to please our CREATOR..I am so happy for her and her fiance!
59. ORTHODOX CONVERSIONS!!!
ariella ,   florida   (11.01.08)
Please Hashem ...PLEASE open the rabbis hearts and minds to the idea that there are probably millions of jewish souls trapped in gentile bodies and WE would love to be able to convert halachaically as easily as Ivanka is doing...PLease let a rabbi get the idea to open up conversion center shuls for all of us who need to convert so as to hook us back up with our "brothers"...Joseph recognized his brothers but they did not recognize him...(genesis) there are many jewish souls who grew thinking they are from the other monotheistic faith (not Islam the other one) who are the other half of the house of Israel..
