Only in America does a president light a menorah while a Jewish choral group sings Hebrew songs and the Marine band plays American songs. Only in America do Jews feel so honored as Jews and yet so completely part of the larger culture, fully Jewish and fully part of the greater nationality. Non-American Jews (including even Canadians) are often amazed at how completely American Jews in the U.S. feel. We take it for granted, but as a former college lecturer in Jewish history, I know that this is unique.

Go to your local Chabad house and ask the rabbi there!
Thanks! I am so glad I didn't have to register!
Luke 1: 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Thanks for the ping!
Question. What is the proper spelling for Chanukah? <--- That is how my Jewish friends spell it.
I am reading "Unfounded Loyalty" a book written by a black Pastor, which explores the unreasonable devotion that American Blacks give the Democratic party...I would like to see a book pointed to the Jewish community as well.
Perhaps written by Ron Silver, or Alouette?!
Why? Can you not see that in this day and age, in our culture of unfettered sexual activity, men are impregnating women they don't know, and don't care about....and pay to have their children killed in the womb. They have no heart for their children. And if their children survive the womb, then they grow up hating the father who has little to do with them...
I take this verse literally.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the light, no man comes to the Father except through me." Jesus didn't come to establish some mealy-mouthed milktoast "religion" so everyone could "get along", He came to save man from sin.
The Christian religion has NOT always been good for Jews. This is always an issue that is brewing under the surface, I think.
My Jewish friends are cautiously waiting for me to tell them that they are going to hell...which is the "torture" that they endure here in the USA! Many well meaning Christians feel it is their duty to say this, I hate to admit.
And worse still, there are many who call themselves Christian, who are "identity" followers, and actually believe that the Jews of Israel and most in the USA are physical sons of satan!
Hatred of Jews is a deception from the enemy. No spirit filled Christian could ever hold our Lord's people in contempt! Our Bible was written by Jews. The Holy Family was all Jewish...they celebrated the Jewish holidays and attended Holy days at the temple.
Jesus himself said,
"First I should help my own family, the Jews. It isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs." (Mark 7:27 NLT)
When a gentile woman asked Him to help her. With few exceptions Jesus's ministry and all of his miracles were done for and to his Jewish brothers. It was not until he was raised from the dead that his kingdom was offered to the rest of the world...fulfilling Isa. 49:6 (NKJV)
"Indeed He says, "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth."'
As per your tagline I assume you discount Ezekiel?
"And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you." (Eze. 2:1)
Think perhaps the Bible was saying that one should not put their trust in important people, nor in any humanbeing?
Elijah didn't die, how could he be reincarnated?
If he's a Jew, I'm the Queen of England. ;)
What exactly is your point, in posting all of that???
Riiiight.
So why do 82% of all American Jews vote blindly Dimocrat...
Reagan got 40% of the Jewish vote and Bush inched closer to that this time around. The new head of the RNC is a Jew, (Mark Mehlman) and he was 2nd in command of Bush's reelection, right beside Karl Rove.
....and support their boy Karl's socialist causes....
Karl Marx was an atheist, as all Commies are.
...and allow Israel to be the #1 thief of American technology and military secrets...even ahead of Red China.
That's a lie.
These are questions I ask fellow Jews everyday. I get pilpul in response. Someone tell me why please.
Today you got some answers, from a real Jew. :)
ET, Your Tag Line: "(Psalm 146:3 - Put not your trust in Princes, nor in the Son of Man, in whom there is no help.)"
The exact Translation of Tehillim 146:3 is: "Do Not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save".
Please Read the rest of this Very Important Messianic Psalm that points directly to THE SAVIOR...Yeshua THE MESSIAH.
You cannot take Scripture Verses out of Context to prove a pointless agruement for arguement's sake.

N>I think the 'christianity' label just compartmentalizes people and separates them instead of unifying them under the One God.
S>Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the light, no man comes to the Father except through me." Jesus didn't come to establish some mealy-mouthed milktoast "religion" so everyone could "get along", He came to save man from sin.

Bump that !
I believe that Y’shua did not come to found any religion;
but to offer us a personal relationship with the creator of the universe.

Jesus was mortal and Jesus died on the cross.
I'm very sorry ; you are so lost!
Oh don't worry about me. I'm not the one following after a man made god.
Just following your heart, eh?
