How about don’t tell ridiculous.... to your kids?

There always were uniform laws. The intense debates (which is a rather modern label on the way Jewish law is formulated) taken place are usually in how to preserve law in light of people being human and capable of making mistakes even if they are well versed in them.

Correct, expect the opinion now has more to do with custom than what is actually allowed - any observant Ashkenazi Jew is going to tell you that there is nothing prohibited about having rice on Passover, rather they refrain as a matter of continuing cultural and familial traditions.

During the time when the Temple stood and there was a central Jewish Court, all of these things were unanimous. After the Diaspora, in an attempt to preserve our laws, the vast majority of communities adopted stringencies - to oversimplify, it is mostly these stringencies Jews debate today.

Yup, nothing to do with health. People have attempted to conflate the two but only sometimes successfully.

Bones themselves are not considered a kosher issue according to the letter of the law, and using a non-kosher animal for non-food reasons are not problematic either.

Coupled with the fact many of the people who work there probably assumed they’d be talking about video games, they’re not political journalists after all.

I really appreciate Whoopi Goldberg and the View. They have always been allies against antisemitism and I am glad that they each brought up really nuanced opinions.

I am responding, originally, to each of the things you are saying. You said: “I disagree as to its secularity when there are religious courts”

Israeli religious courts have almost no major legal powers outside the fact that they are the ones who handle marriages. There are separate courts for every major faith present, not just Jewish courts.

Hey no problem. I try my best to be civil, though it can be hard to convey through a forum, and appreciate the reciprocation.

River - The Jordan. Sea - The Mediterranean. That encompasses the land where Israel is. That seems to clearly constitute an anti-Israel chant, not a chant of independent sovereignty through two states. I would love, honestly, to know how you specifically disagree and how that constitutes projection - though there was…

What is between the river and the sea?

It literally means to wipe Israel off the map with those proposed borders. Now, and attempting to be intellectually honest, is that literally calling to push Jews in the sea or just figuratively?

She was at a rally with people chanting “from the river to the sea,” so there is that. Was she saying it - I don’t know - and is she culpable if she wasn’t - also a question.

Is it strange that an organization wants to choose a path that is less polarizing and not get involved in a conflict that it probably doesn’t fully understand.

Articles like this, written in this style, only go to cast shade and propagate hatred. Gadot posted something calling Palestinians neighbors. Some could even call that endearment, but some have chosen to see it as the opposite.

Articles like this, when posted without the girth of context they need lead to a lot of misinformation and hatred being put on display.

“What is the reason for all this unnecessary self punishment”

@Sharrona Pearl This is not at all a directed criticism of you and your work here. I really appreciate the personal connection you have shared, and definitely relate to the excitement toward seasonal kosher products.
