I am sure the Russian "Jews" who eat pork and don't circumcise are Jewish enough for you,right? Unfortunately racists like you have polluted the air in Israel. The damage done to Ethiopians from your ilks will last a long long time.
33. #28.LEMME GIVE YA SOME MORE *FACT* AMIGO
...DACON9   (09.17.10)
i DIDNT OFFER OPINION I OFFERED FACT. I WAS AT MT SINAII APPROX 3300 YEARS AGO. i AM FROM AHARON HAKOHAINE. I FOLLOW MY RABBIS TRADITIONAL UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED TORAH 'ORTHODOX RABBIS EVERY JEW SHOULD HAVE THE YERUSHALYIM 'SYNDROME' IN THEIR VIENS. BECAUSE YOU LIVE IN ''JERUSALEM'' YOU DONT GET A FREE PASS TO GAN EDAN. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SUPPORT GDs LAND. SUPPORTING GDs LAND CAN ONLY BE DONE THROUGH LEARNING A LITTLE MORE TORAH. Lets move foward a little. one of the principles of faith is to belive in Mashiach. When MAshiach arrives. lets go more expansive in the meaning of supporting Hashem and a holy land... There will be no churches, no temples whether jewish or otherwise except the one 3rd TEMPLE. THERE WILL BE NO MOSQUES, NO ISLAM XTIANS, NO IDOLS NO TOLERANCE FOR THOSE AGAINST THE 2nd COMMANDMENT. NO B'HAIS. THERE WILL BE ONLY THE JEWS THAT ACCEPT TO **SERVE** HASHEM THE WAY *HE* DEMANDS AND THE NON JEWS THAT FOLLOW THE NOAHIDE LAWS EXPLICITELY... and nothing else. The meaning of supporting the LAND is to SPPORT HASHEM . THERE WILL NOT BE LIBERALISM AND TOLERANCE FROM SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM. 4 YRS THE RABBIS DEMANDED A RITUAL, SHE REFUSED... *NOW...THEY GIVE IN? POLITICAL PRESSURE? HER grand parents converted to xtian... what did her parents do, who are they, how did they live, how did she live...where is the rest of that so called jewish community, 4 years she didnt pass the Rabbis scrutiny...something is wrong.. she will not be allowed toi entire most proper TORAH SHULS. HER CHILDREN WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO A YESHIVA... TO BE A JEW IS A SPIRITUAL BINDING WITH THE ONE GD OF EVERYTHING.... TO BE A JEW I S*NOT A health club memebership or a breakfeasr club with bagels and creamcheese.. TO BE A JEW ACCORDING TO TORAH IS TO BELIEVE IN HASHEM THE UNTOUCHED TORAH AND THE RABBIS . AFTER 4 YEARS THE NATION OF ISRAEL SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED IF RABBIS CHANGE THEIR MIND. It doesnt give much credibility to those rabbis..or to the group that pressured them... OR THE WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE HAS IT ALL WRONG

35. TO ALL READERS THAT USE THE TERM ***RACIST**
...DACON9   (09.17.10)
I HAVENT SEEN ANY TALKBACKS REFERING TO RACE AT ALL. IN FACT I SEE MOST IF NOT ALL TALKBACKS PRO AND CON STILL VERY RESPECTFUL AND TO THE POINT THE ONES YOU OBJECT TO ARE ADHEREING TO HALACHA, STRICK HALACHA AND NOT TOLERANCE OR LIBERALSIM WHICH IS ***NOT HALACHA..BUT MANS WEAKNESS. CALLED LIBERALISM SOCIALISM AND THE LIKE. FOR YOU TO ACCUSE RUSSIAN JEWS IN A BROAD SWEEP IS DEFINITELY WITHOUT QUESTION RACIST AND BIGOTTED. RUSSIANS LIKE THE EURO JEWS WHO DONT FOLLOW TORAH WILL BE JUDGED BY HASHEM..NOT YOU..THERE ARE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT DOES NOT GO UNDER THE GUISE OF LIBERALSIM,,BUT EXTENUTAING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HASHEM WILL HANDLE..... if a JEW has NOT had the opportunity to learn or to get circumsized. they do not go under the same scrutinuy in the heavenly court as you who had the many chances to conduct yourself properly. I AM A JEW I AM A SEPHARDIC JEW I AM A BIGOT FOR TORAH AND PURITY OF TORAH I AM NOT HASID. I AM A JEW AND A KOHAINE THE ETHIOPIANS ARE NOT JEWS UNLESS THEY GO THROUGH A JEWISH CONVERSION NOR ARE ANY AFRICANS JEWISH UNLESS THEY GO THROUGH THE CONVERSION PROCESS. #32, NO ONE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY ONE UNLESS ITS THE TRUTH REVEALED AND THAT IS NOT DAMAGE BUT MAKING A JEW AWARE OF THEIR DEFECTIVENESS REMEMBER RADICAL LIBERALISM HAS CAUSE THE DAMAGE TO THE WORLD. NOT PEOPLE THAT FOLLOW A UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED CODE OF CONDUCT IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD. THEY CAN BE FOUND IN THE NOAHIDE LAWS. 7 +66 subsets WE JEWS FOLLOW 613 LAWS. THERE IS TO MUCH TO ANSWER YOU HERE... FIND A ORTHODOX TORAH RABBI THAT IS UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED ,THAT FOLLOWS TRADITIONS OF THOUSAND YEARS AND LEARN SOMETHINGS....
36. i am sorry, WE ALSO PRAY FOR GILAD SHALIT BE SAFELY RETURNED

37. Russians of Jewish descent do not convert
Joe   (09.17.10)
for the most part. They are not religious and see no reason for it. Even if their father is 100% Jewish, or Jewish on both sides, qualify religiously as Jewish or not, they do not see "Jew"as a purely religious title but an ethnic label. They separate religion from ethnic identity, thus the ability to call oneself an atheist Jew which otherwise would be a contradiction. The Ethiopians are more similar to certain groups in Israel where ethnic identity and religion are mixed. Many do not even consider the Ethiopians as ethnic Jews but view them in a religious sense as, descendants of converts, which is why conversion is so important a subject. Russians dont care and those who want to live a religious live convert even if their mother is half Jewish and their father fully Jewish ( or whatever combination you care for) There is a lot of absurdities in Judaism , still, if you want to be a Jew and are not thus qualified then you convert , and follow it's laws to the full. Russians and Ethiopians have very different stories. No comparison. As to bringing the goyim in- tell that to the Law of Return, Jewish descendants even if not Jewish are allowed to a degree.
38. The reason for conversion...
Avraham ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.19.10)
It is beyond a doubt that ethiopian jews are jewish. There are answers in Jewish Law about this for the past 2000 years. The reason for conversion is that after the 2nd temple was destroyed torah law did not need to be kept anymore yet everything stayed on as traditions and traditions are considered law. Ethiopian jews on the other hand did not keep these traditions so shabbat and kosher and other basic principles were not required of them. To make things less complicated the rabbi's instituted a "conversion" which was primarily for the ethiopian jews to adopt all of the jewish "traditions(laws)" kept today. The rabbis were merely preventing a situation where you would have some jews that kept shabbat and kosher etc. which was required of them and others which were not required at all. So you see the rabbis that originally instituted this process were not saying that ethiopian jews are not jewish. They were just creating a protective barrier for judaisim in general.
39. I'm from Samoa & want a rich home. Can I come?
Luke Christianson ,   Apia, Samoa   (09.20.10)
I'm totally Jewish. Don't test me, just trust me on this. Sure few will say I'm Jewish, but who are they to say that I'm not? Israel has higher wagse. So, am I in?
