31. the take over of Jerusalem by 21 st century hoods
Jojo ,   Prt. Wash NY   (11.21.09)
NO, Peretz Rodman, it has catapulted into public view of what is the nature of these deranged edah haredit .If they are going to dictate to the MAJORITY, then we might as well get rid of the superfluous Mayor, and the incompetent Police Chief. It is very obvious that they are enforcing their own warped laws.Very similar to a "Kristal nacht" bash --- braking into a chapel, smashing windows, furniture,prayer books strewn; in order to save shabbes they are using " brute force". The word desecrating has no meaning to vandals, outlaws. How corrupt can religion be?. In order to replenish their ever hungry coffers, they use a tried and proven method of the old days " Extortion ". It couldn't be successful without the tacit complicity of some Officials. And I lived in Boston in the 50's, 60;s, 70's.
32. Haredi Fanaticos
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.21.09)
What prove do the Haredim have ? that it is God's wish that Intel, close its plants in Israel,and move them to India,to the delight of the Hindus,who are willing to work 8 days a week,the Haredim are: Hoteh Umachteh,(contagious sinners)they can't stand people who work.
33. Why did God need to rest?
Moe ,   LA, Calif.   (11.21.09)
The whole creation story makes no sense at all. On the first day God creates light, but doesn't create the sun and moon until the 4th day. On the 4th day he creates the universe with trillions of stars, but it took 5 days to create earth, water, plants, animals. So, why does an omnipotent being need to rest?
34. The Sabbath
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.22.09)
More than the Jews have kept the Sabbath, the Sabbath has kept the Jews.
35. # 34 What kept the Jews ?
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (11.22.09)
You are wrong ! It was Christianity and Islam that ' kept the Jews'in Europe the Christians placed the Jews in walled Ghettos, depriving the of all civil rights,when the French revolution freed the Jews from the Ghettos,Jews prospered and started to assimilate,in the east the Muslims imposed on the Jews high taxes,when the Jews couldn't take it any more and wished to convert to Islam,the Muslims refused :Just stay a Jew, and continue to carry the tax load,The Sabbath did lift the spirit,and gave hope to the Jews in their plight.
