lawsonsj Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I should be preparing for finals but I got a little distracted and got caught up on some of the post here. I am a Jew (and yes there are black Jews) not only that I am studying to be a Rabbi. If anyone out there has any question about Jewish dietary laws, eating Kosher, what is Kosher or Jewish questions in general send your questions to me. I will be glad to help One more thing I would like to meet other Jews on this forum so if you are out there give me a holla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 San DiegoMy parents are from Ohio and PA and hail now in South FL for 53 years, so not a NY Jew at all (no offense, but mistaken often as I was born in Miami)...I was a Miami girl *JAP* (or wanna be) growing up...we weren't loaded like the NY Princess's...So, are your parents converted, or did you or??? Always interesting to hear about black Jewish peeps besides Sammy Davis Jr., ya know. (kidding-but, there aren't a lot)...are you Sephardic or Ashkenazi?Off to do LEGS!!! Today is a NON cardio day..may still do it tonight tho..I have 3 pounds extra I am carrying with for a few weeks now..I DO NOT like it one bit...but I been loving my vegan, Gluten free jelly squares from Trader Joe's too much ( even sweetened w/ brown rice syrup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(kidding-but, there aren't a lot)...are you Sephardic or Ashkenazi? Hey DivamomActually there are more Jews of color than you might realize, there are even many synagogues in the United States that are historically black, there is even one here in Philly that I visit a lot. Here are some links to check out http://bechollashon.org/http://www.jewishmultiracialnetwork.org/http://kulanu.org/http://www.scatteredamongthenations.org/pages/nations/index.htmlhttp://www.momentmag.com/Exclusive/2009/2009-08/200908-Post-Racial-Rabbis.htmlhttp://washingtonjewishweek.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=9426&SectionID=4&SubSectionID=&S=1http://washington.mfa.gov.il/index.php/he/latest-news/496-ambassador-michael-oren-addresses-congregation-bethel-in-philadelphia-http://www.bethshalombz.org/ http://manishtana.net/page/who-is-manishtana These are just a few but there are many many more. I am in Rabbinical school and since my school was founded by Ashkenazai Jew, I am learning Ashkenazi history, but I am not Ashkenazi nor am I Sephardic, there are a lot of other options it's just in this country we only pay attention to Ashekenazi and Sephardic.

James Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'm well aware that a lot of Jews are reformed, vegan, and don't have any ties to their orthodox roots who still practice this weird shit, and we all know the history of Nazi regime and it's total hypocrisy to this propaganda, but I thought I'd just throw this in for controversy: Hitler Saves Animals From Barbaric Kosher Slaughter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StWoPBRRs9U Seriously pal what the f*ck did you post this for??? Someone politely offers to answer people's questions on her religion & you respond by posting this racist bullshit? Why not have some respect & delete the post?

I'm not sure if this is your youtube account are not but that account is hateful and owned by someone that is Anti-Semitic meaning hates Jews and probably hates black people and gay people as well. If you have some real questions about Jewish dietary laws I will be happy to answer them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonsj Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 As I said before, that video that you posted does nothing but spread hate. That youtube account, is from an extremist, someone who hates Jews, Blacks, and gays. If you want to have a real conversation about Jewish dietary laws I will be happy to discuss them, but I will not discuss that video because it was Nazi propaganda. If you want to have a conversation then let's start with some real dialogue so that we can all learn from each other, it not please don't post anymore stuff like this.
