Since it's meant to be a covenant between G-d and the Children of Israel, it makes sense that it would naturally be unappealing to anyone else. I would imagine that without the covenant, we too would not perform it.

Perhaps cargo pants will be brought back on the scene to help out.

If the iPhone trend follows the MBP trend, you'll have a soldered lens that you'll need to take into Apple to have replaced by an iPhone specialist.

In order to combat the issues like the herpes incidents that were recently profiled in the news (11 cases in a decade - that's hardly "regularly leading") many mohels use a plastic device that allows him to do perform parts of the brit milah without coming into direct contact with the baby's wound. Coupled with the…

Minority groups such as these exist in every nation, culture and religion. I can also show you people who claim to be Jewish and find it acceptable to eat pork since it's clean, or to desecrate the Sabbath in the name of community relations. Since a brit milah is not medical in origin, but rather spiritual, claiming…

That's a valid question. We view Judaism as more than a religion... rather as a nationality. Many American Jews might contest this, though it's clear from the teachings of our sages that this is the case. The Torah does not condone female circumcision. Anything of the sort really - tattoos, self-inflicted harm or…

While I can understand your position, if G-d told you to do it, wouldn't you? We perform a Brit Milah because that is our pact with G-d. To offer you a different persective, the Torah views a Brit Milah as the completion of the human body, not a perversion of it. It's a gift G-d gave to the children of Abraham to…

The point here isn't that the mapping program is lacking, so much as it is already being used to replace Google Maps, despite how much it's lacking. If it had been released as a beta app alongside GoogleMaps, worked on for a few years, and then used to replace Google Maps, I am certain that the overall reaction would…

"Plenty of sects of Judaism have moved on past circumcision." Please provide a source for that. All orthodox Jews, whether modern orthodox, Chassidic, or Haredi adhere strictly to the laws of circumcision. In Hebrew, it is called Brit Milah, or "the pact of the foreskin". All descendants of Abraham have it upon…

"it's not just that it always permanently damages penis and increases risk of erectile dysfunction, but cutting it up can give babies serious infections"

Sweden might have had a larger Jewish population if they hadn't outlawed ritual (as opposed to medical) circumcision - [en.wikipedia.org]

Good point, though there are plenty of reports that it runs beautifully under Parallels.

Have you considered using Bootcamp or Parallel's Desktop for your PC only software, while still enjoying your computer? Bootcamp make the MBA run Windows from boot, while Parallel's runs Windows side by side with the Mac - it makes both systems available to you and integrates them together.

Probably whatever rods are in place that allow the vertical dividers to move. It would be a real feat to be able to move the horizontal parts too.

We call Judea and Sumaria by the only names they have. Arabs don't have any special name for those areas, despite living there.

" It doesn't sound like someone who's trying to protect their fetus."

Amazingly nobody here has yet said.

That certainly makes more sense.

It's possible to receive a text at the time of the accident without having sent one prior, and it's also possible to view it later. Could they have proven that he viewed the text message before or at the time of the accident, especially if it was pushed onto the device? Does reading a short text message constitute…

Was Google paying Apple to use Google Maps as the default mapping app like they did to make Google the default search in Safari in iOS? Or is Apply licensing something from Google in order to have Google Maps?
