Goodlove

Ah yeah...Orthodoxy Jews would say such things.

You do have your fair share of nutters. If they don't do openly, they sure as hell do it in a hidden way. But that's only prevalent in Israel mostly.

So, what measures did he have undergo to finish the process?

 

circumcision obviously....

guess he didnt want to go through with that

:smt089

 

I have no idea how far he was into the process

 

Have you been to Israel BBW? It sounds as though you have by virtue of you commenting on things there?

 

I have no idea. I never knew anyone who converted. You'd have to ask him.

 

I've never been to Israel, but that doesn't mean I don't know a thing or two about certain aspects of the country. Granted, it's really a secular country with a Jewish identity and the majority of inhabitants are generally secular Jews and there are a decent number of practicing conservative Jews as well.

 

Just curious. I like to share WTF stories with people who have been there.

Running in a bullet proof vest on a Sunday morning......hell ya

 

So you never knew how the conversion stuff worked? Were there people you knew who considered converting to Judaism?

 

Damn, Chica, but not surprising...

I have a few cousins who live there.

 

I have a friend from Rohovet, Israel and I basically had her off of Snickers for a month because of my insane acts.

 

I believe it.

I'll never forget all of the gorgeous Israeli soldiers patrolling Jerusalem. :smt118Damn. I wanted to take some of them home. :smt045

 

This my understanding as well. That is what my Hasidic jew friend told me. In a sense you can say judism is more than a religion, it is almost like a race category.

 

Most conservative Jews do consider it their ethnicity as well.

And I hear you Bookie! Some hotties in uniform

 

LOL, the first time I recalled hearing that was from the Jewish woman on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker - Patti Stanger

I guess this all means that a man can be Jewish, born to a Jewish mother, but if he doesn't marry a Jewish woman, his kids are not Jewish by extension, in the strictest sense.

On the other hand a woman can be Jewish, marry a gentile and since she is Jewish so are her kids, no matter what, since its all based on the lineage of the mother.

LOL, that is like a built in guarantee of a steady supply of Jewish kids, since all a woman has to do is be Jewish and give birth.

 

If goodlove is a Jew, I'm Sammy Davis Jr.

LOLOL at least I have a Gene Wilder story for you. Many years ago, when I lived in Los Angeles, I was working in Beverly Hills, and there was a crappy little lunch place around the corner. It was one of those restaurants that had a long bench along one wall, with little tables in front of it.

SO I'm in there, eating my lunch, sitting on the bench and reading. Because I didnt like being pestered, I had developed the habit of not looking up from my book. A man came and sat on the bench next to me. After a minute, he asked me to please pass him the salt. So without looking up, I did so. Then he asked for a napkin. Same deal. Finally he asked for the ketchup. I continued to eat and read. About 20 minutes later, he stood up, and tapped me on the shoulder. It was Gene Wilder. He said "I thought I should say goodbye since we had lunch together."

I was a little bit chagrined.
