Do you think art school should be free to all artist, sense we all know what happened when one particular artist didn't get in to a certain school in Vienna?

How would you respond to questions of the Jewish faith placing materialism over spirituality?

This questions does not represent my view point but I am interested to hear the answere.

As an additional question... A large percentage of Jews are wealthy? Whats the secret? (you did say anything )

Take care,
Reflected

Two questions -

1) What's the orthodox jewish view on violence/self-defense?

2) What's the consensus orthodox view on the Israel/palestinians situation?

Thanks pellian.

What is "Is"?

I think the original poster is trolling, unless Jews believe in the rapture (they don't) check out his other existing threads.

A few years ago I owned a bar in Korea and one of my friends (Jewish) was also in Korea during the Christmas and Hanukkah Season.

Anyway, as it seemed that he was more alone than the other foreigners because of his religion, we had our own closed party for him. My wife (Korean) delved into the recipe box and made a few traditional goodies that he said his mom would have made and we mad a Menorah out of tinfoil and a coat hanger. All we could do!

My question is, although he seemed happy and glad to have a small ceremony with friends (I'm not up on my ceremonies but it was where we stood around holding hands and he said some prayer?), was this in any way an insult to the Jewish people?

To have the food prepared by a Korean, the Menorah made from scrap and the prayer that included non-Jewish people?

And, we of course didn't understand the prayer but it was important to our friend that we participated.

He seemed happy and almost moved to tears but I always wondered if maybe he didn't tell us that this was an insult as it wasn't traditional and he just didn't say anything because we were his friends and that was good enough for him. Being so far from home and all.

Thanks

Dear pelian,

I saw the thread and couldn't help but ask. I am a Christian, so we get that out of the way so that you can understand where I am coming from. Why were the Jews thrown out of Israel? Why were they returned to Israel? I have read that those who follow Kabbalah believe non-Jews have a lesser soul, what is your perspective on this matter, what do you believe Jews were chosen for?

I am not attempting to be tricky, I would like to know your perspective. I am asking Christians the same thing on my blog. I will not provide the link, not a promotion. Because you are orthodox, I think your answer may be more telling. The last thing I will ask is what do you think of the times we are living in, the jews have returned to Israel and many, including the Jewish Congress prior to World War II, thought that would never happen.

I believe I have kept my questions and comments civil, I am not looking to get into a debate with you over beliefs, I appreciate the opportunity to hear yours. Be well.

What is the most important commandment in your religion?

reply to post by Poker


Just a guess; but, the answer will probably be "Do not have any other Gods before me". They did not give that answer to Jesus because they asked him a question and gave a good answer.

um...there are a lot of questions getting backed up.

You started this and WE WANT the answers!

lol

All good.
