  • Hanukkah Explained By Christians

    My Jewish best friend sent me this.

    Without a clear-cut definition of sin, morality becomes a mere argument over the best way to train animals
    - Manya the Holy Szin (The Quintara Marathon)

    I may not be as old as dirt, but me and dirt are starting to have an awful lot in common

    They like TOTALLY left out the book with the golden pages!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Seriously, when I was a kid, I had a good friend (we were 6 or 7 or 8) whose parents were German Jews who had fled Hitler.

      I was often invited into their home, and it was literally like going into a foreign country. I just remember a lot of "weird" things - pictures, possessions, rituals, mannerisms....

      I honestly wish I had paid more attention and tried to learn and understand than just approaching it with a "this is weird" attitude.

        When Rob first found out he was Jewish (His dad was adopted as a child, so the records were sealed) and he began to embrace the rituals, I had several discussions with him about them and we came to a mutual agreement that him embracing them was not a bad thing. Plus, I learned quite a bit along the way.
