Out of curiosity, why do you spell it 'G-D'? Since you're not taking His name in vain (in fact just the opposite -- you're reminding people to praise Him), what leads you to do this.
Don't get me wrong...I'm not criticising you...I've just noticed that some Freepers do this and was wondering why.

Happy Passover to all my Jewish friends and a year full of joy and happiness ahead.
To: yoely
Thank you.
It is nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one out here.

Thanks we are still doing our pesach cleaning and hope to finish tonight. The 6:15 shacharis this shabbos is not going to be fun.
To: yoely
I have an Orthodox friend here in the office. What is the proper greeting that I can give him in parting tomorrow?

Dumb question: We don't have a synagogue in town; we have a Jewish center. It's actually a former church. Why isn't it a synagogue? Is it missing something so it can't be called a synagogue?

greeting = wishes
Duh. You give greeting when you first meet. In parting, I guess it wouldn't be a "greeting" eh? :-/

I didn't know that. So the name of G-d is not spelled out anywhere in their Old Testaments?.
To: AppyPappy
It might serve as more than a house of worship. It also depends on what strain of Judaism the congregation consists of. Reform Judaism tends to call its houses of worship "temples," while "synagogues" tend to refer to conservative and orthodox. It's also possible that if there's only one game in town, maybe they used "Jewish center" as a more all-encompassing term.

It serves both communities. I was wondering if it was a "center" because it didn't have a Torah or a rabbi or something.

I didn't know that. So the name of G-d is not spelled out anywhere in their Old Testaments?. It relates to the destruction of God's name, not writing it, though in some cases destruction can be resonably anticipated, thus the use of G-d. You'll find it spelled out in Jewish texts, as well as many publications. You'd wouldn't spell it out in casual communication where there's a likliehood of destruction, obviously a point of disagreement. As is the internet, which some don't consider writing.
