It is not Judah that you have to defend yourself against, but HaShem.
For 6 million Jews who sanctified His Most Holy and Revered Name do not need your chastisements from their graves.
This blasphemes or desecrates the Most Holy Name. Your lack of…
Shavua Tov Gavriel,
as promised I spoke to my mate, Dror today regarding Jewish activities in Scotland.
He reiterated that there are not many resident Jews in Scotland. The largest community would be in Glasgow.
However, Dror did mention that many…
Great analogy Anne,
my best mate, Eli, from the former Jewish settlement of Elei Sinai in Gush Katif and now temporarily residing in Australia until they rebuild their former community, also told me an interesting analogy.
There was a King who had…
Shalom Les,
thank you for your pennies, actually allowing for inflation..... pounds.
The link that you provided was very succinct and to the point.
Like you I feel that conversion is not the key, but joining and connecting with the Jewish people…
Shalom and welcome Gavriel from the penal colony down under... way down under.
It is always exciting to greet people from diverse parts of the world.... especially Scotland.
My best friend from the former Jewish settlement of Elei Sinai in Gush…
Shalom Caveman,
this is a very good link for those interested and clearly explains the reticence experienced among many Jewish scholars.
From my own experience and my Jewish contacts in Israel, this phenomena is very much aroused around many Jewish…
We all know that Pizza was invented and comes from Napoli in Italy.
We also have Dominoes and Pizza Hut.....still pizza.... but is it authentic genuine Neapolitan Pizza.?
Try convincing a Neapolitan that these foreign pizzas are real and genuine.…
Shalom Caveman,
genuine humility and unconditional love...... will go a long way.
This is "the two sticks coming together" in all its breathtaking beauty.
HaShem ALWAYS works through human agency.
Waiting, closing your eyes and thinking…
Shalom Denise,
HaShem + Torah + Am Yisrael + Eretz Yisrael = Echad.
G-d + Torah + People of Israel + Land of Israel = One.
Remove one element from the equation and all disintegrates.
That is why the mountains of Israel will only shoot forth her…
Shalom Sinai Servant
very pertinent questions that can be answered in one sweep, hopefully.
I will give it a go. Might end up being a long post.
First of all the understanding of Face - "Ha Panim" must be understood from a very…

ט וְהָיָה יְהוָה לְמֶלֶךְ, עַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ; בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, יִהְיֶה יְהוָה אֶחָד--וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד. 9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall the LORD be One, and His name One. (Zech 14:9)
Eu é que agradeço a sua gentil resposta, ao mesmo tempo que dou graças a HaShem pelo seu impressionante percurso. Para mim vai funcionar como bom exemplo, pois também eu vim da ala evangélica da igreja e procuro calmamente um lugar entre os judeus para aprender a reverenciar e agradar a HaShem, servindo-o na comunidade. Tem sido um percurso difícil mas a SWW tem-me ajudado com o exemplo destas pessoas muito bonitas, como você - bonitas em Paz, Bondade, e Instrução nas coisas de HaShem.
Também eu guardo o Sábado e alguns mitzvot que são acessíveis à minha compreensão, procurando manter-me separado do mundo mas não tanto que não possa ser um exemplo para eles. Na alimentação não sou kosher mas evito os alimentos proíbidos na Torah, bem como as misturas de alimentos proíbidas.
Desejo vir a conhecer alguma comunidade judaica que me ajude a compreender melhor os preceitos dos mitzvot de forma a melhorar a minha postura perante HaShem.
Um abraço, e se pensar vir a Portugal novamente conte com a minha humilde hospitalidade.
Haha, I didn't even know there was a grapevine. I don't usually think about all the people that watch us on the internet.
My parents have been trying to get me to go up and read the Torah for a while now, but I never did. This time my mom just said "You're going to go read the Shema", and I did.
We love the names Heather and Chris chose too. We also found that Ava could be a diminuation of Chana - life. We prayed that Hashem would place a very special neshama in this little body. In March Heather, Inju and I attended a TGIS (Thank G-d is is Sabbath) dinner and evening which is held bi-monthly in the Heritage Inn by Chabad. Every time we sang the Sabbath songs, Heather said the baby jumped in her womb. Rabbi Eisenbach prayed and said there is a Jewish neshama in that child. May it be so.
Thank you for the warm welcome. Heather's new little one is named Ava, Sophia Fleming. I told Heather with such a name she will be some Diva!!! She is a treasure and I am enjoying her so much. She is such a blessing. I am enjoying this music as I write. Thanks for being you! Helen
