Because in Nazi Germany it was official government ideology, In Israel – this is an act carried out by an extremist group
No comparison

Impeached and convicted as a judge for bribery, why is felon and Democratic House member Alcee Hastings making racists accusations against Sarah Palin to Jews?

Because she’s following the Obama script. It’s really all they have to run on at this point..

Can’t run on Obama’s accomplishments.. he has none.
Can’t run on Obama’s experience.. he has none.
Can’t run on Obama’s character.. he has none.
Can’t run on Obama’s integrity.. he has none.
Can’t run on Obama’s brilliant plans and policies.. he has none.

So.. play the race card.

I thought Orthodox women only wore close toed shoes until I saw the Frum Fashionista blog and she showed off flip flops and thongs. I’m becoming more tsnius and live in Las Vegas, so if I can wear sandals, it would be terrific.

I don’t wear sandals; I wear close-toes shoes. AND stockings. AND I live in Texas.

I’ve seen things on "frum" websites that I wouldn’t wear, personally. And I’ve seen women who consider themselves Orthodox wear things I wouldn’t wear, too.

I think of Tznius as a continuum. Some people have a different "standard" that the Orthodox norm–but it’s good that they HAVE a standard. And it could very well be that they’ll eventually become more careful in what they wear—or not. In the long run, that’s between them and their conscience, and all I can do is dress the way I’m convinced is right.

Why don’t you talk to your Rebbetzin? She can give you some advice, especially if she knows you well. And remember–no one has to measure up to a perfect standard, especially not all at once. Sometimes it’s better to take things slowly, a step at a time.

I was carpooling my daughter & her friends to their Bais Yaakov school the other day, and they were talking about a film they’d just seen on tznius. One of them–a Rabbi’s daughter, very frum–said that she’d been realizing lately how a person’s tznius can ALWAYS be improved–no matter how frum that person is. That kind of blew my mind–Oy!–but I think she also meant that it’s possible to have EVERYTHING covered and still dress in a way that is inherently immodest. Food for thought–but in the long run, talk to your Rebbetzin, do your best, and take things a step at a time.

Looking for creation accounts that share similar themes with the christian account.

Read Dracula then vlad the impaler and your have your answer

I guess nobody knew untill after his death about the Jewish part..but what about him being dark haired???

He wasnt half jewish. A jewish historian found out that no Jews lived in the area of Austria where his grandmother supposedly got pregnant by a Jew because Jews were banned to enter that part of Austria at the time.

I’ve been interested in judaism for a long time, not least because of my perception that, becoming a jew would make me part of a huge family of people with a common, spiritual view who also subscribe to a certain warmth and set of human values I find very reassuring in these disoriented times.
Now, let’s just imagine I’d convert to judaism; in your opinion, would I find what I am looking for, or would I be disappointed?

I’m an atheist who has no Jewish roots, religious or ethnic. To the best of my knowledge, my family has been Roman Catholic on both sides for ages.

However, I attend synagogue regularly, almost every week, both Friday evening and Saturday mornings.

The people I attend with, have welcomed me with open arms and open hearts, even though I am not Jewish, even though I’ve been forthright that I am not interested in converting because I don’t agree with the idea that there is a deity, even though there is nothing about me that any of them would consider jewish, except my love for the culture and religion despite my not believing it.

If this is my experience, how much more I imagine they must embrace their new family members when people convert.

It’s hard to recognize Jewish women today. I only recognize Jewish men because of their black attire and hats as well as dreadlocks while worshiping. How can you know that a woman is Jewish in her worship attire?

there is no "worship wear". orthodox jewish men wear the suits and hats and orthodox women (married) cover their hair, wear long skirts and long sleeve shirts that cover the shoulders. but this is everyday clothes for the orthodox. most Jews, such as myself, dress like everyone else. we cover up to to to pray at the synagogue, but its out of respect…not "worship attire"

All answers will be highly appreciated and honored.

Thank You.

are there still religious, observant jews? yes, of course. are there jews who have intermarried, stopped being religious, and are totally secular? unfortunately, yes. is there an increasing number of jews who are becoming more interested and religious? yes. yes. (think chabad.) the diaspora has affected jewry for better or for worse – mostly worse – but it cannot be said that jewish identity does not exist today, or that it is not coming back.
