You know I used to like gefilte fish? :eek:
Hey, I learned my guilt from an expert.
Urk!
Well, that problem at least is easily solved. You really shouldn’t be eating your rabbis in the first place.
The Lubavitch Rabbi assured Mrs. Plant my Conservative conversion was Kosher, but it was at the Purim party. :dubious:
Pardon my skepticism about the ultimate aims of the sector of Israeli society that passes laws like this, but I get spooked when I read stories like this one, in which some Jews are apparently more equal than others.
Oh, c’mon. If a plant won’t eat it, who will?
It literally means, “cheapest at the market” which is bad enough, but you dice it and mix it with other nasty things, and wad it up into balls, and serve it in a nauseating fashion with other wise good food, or worse buy it floating in jars like removed cancerous tissue, and my Stepdaughter used to eat it with chocolate milk. URK!!
Well, there’s no accounting for taste.
Sicko.
I wish. My atheist ass will be “officially” Catholic for as long as I live. There’s been a few threads about that.
Right, I know. But one of the things this law will do, apparently, is introduce civil marriage in Israel, in cases where neither of the people involved can prove to the satisfaction of the Rabbinate that they are Jewish.
Y’know, I was going to say that that’s probably the worst time ever to ask a rabbi a question, but then I realized, nah, that’s going to be the best time, assuming the good rabbi is properly plastered.
And then I realized that might say a good deal about the rocky relationship between Judaism and me.
Purim’s a great holiday, though. When I was a kid it meant, yeah, you’ve got to go to synagogue - but there are cookies and I got to go dressed as a ninja! And as an adult it means I can claim that, yep, sorry, gotta drink to excess tonight, religious requirement. And eat cookies! So that’s pretty awesome.
I’m not sure “bore” is the adjective you’re looking for.
Paul, are ya there?
Get out. Go northwest just for a while.
Please.
So American Jews are seeing the birth of “Judaism Lite”.
Yeah, I thought it was already un-kosher. Chews cud (well, pellets) but doesn’t part the hoof.
Oh, wait, you said rabbis. Never mind. :smack:
I am a fan of civil marriage - had one myself, in fact. But I still detest the idea that one group of Jews gets to tell another group of Jews that they don’t count. It creates stupidity like this, in which 25% of Israelis, including ones who consider themselves Jewish and whose ancestors were all Jewish, have to leave the country to have a Jewish wedding that they don’t find deeply offensive.
I thought I was the only one. [insert pukey smiley here]
Eventually one of your descendants will become a Mormon, and then poof you’ll be one too.
It bothers me too, but that’s because Israel doesn’t have civil marriage. This law goes a really small way in reversing that.
