Jewish group?

[grcorp]

Just came across this... very glad to see that a Jewish demographic exists in the domaining community.

Anyone here north of the border?

To be considered Jewsih is it your mother that must be Jewish and if so how Jewish, here mother alone was enough etc?

Yes, Jewish tradition bases their religion on the mother. You would have to go back every generation on the maternal side.

Would that make me a Goy, considering that my father was Jewish, and my mother was born into a Christian family and has been religiously indifferent most of her life?

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

As far as I know (read) if your father is Jewish but your mother wasnt and converts the rabbis will still not acknowledge you (child) as Jewish. Infact so much so you cant get into a private Jewish school.

I am just shocked at how many people I met lately who say they are Jewish yet their father is not, I never realized how many Jewish girls marry non Jews.

It also depends on which branch of Judaism you're talking about - Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist. They have different rules about who does or doesn't qualify as a Jew.

 

[TheLegendaryJP]

I suppose but apparently the majority lean toward mother.

Haverim,
this is crap.
If you remember the movie Cabaret, the young German pursuing the Jewess (during the Nazis) tells her:
Ich bin Jude.
A simple declaration by a decent person is all it takes.

Yes, the child must convert as well.

shabbat shalom all from Israel - nice to see there is a Jewish group here was not aware of it

 

[dn-101]

It is informal, and some are not even Jewish, just like our Satmar friend FABisine :smilewinkgrin:

[matessim]

Shalom, I'm from a Yeshuv near jerusalem, called Givat Ye'arim, didn't know more jews/israeli's on forum nice to know

 

[tetrapak]

Hey, that's just next to Abu Gosh - the best place to eat around Jerusalem!

 

[matessim]

Yeah, Abu gosh/Ein karem are considered good places in area, though there's great resturants in jerusalem, like Mkneyuda(in mahne yuda, name is a play with the actual location name, if you know, open kitchen Resturant quite modern), and i like colony if you know it , and abu gosh has the Abu gosh resturant which has like best kebab in world, and every time im in area, i buy like 3kilo humus

 

[tetrapak]

Yeah, their humus is great! I would suggest you another kebab place, but you are not allowed on the other side of the fence...

 

[matessim]

thats a sad fact, though, i have many arab freinds(from bet lehem and area's near jerusalem) which i usually can't go to, they also bring food sometimes

 

[tetrapak]

That's great to hear

 

[razorblade]

Wow!! Just joined today, although have been domaining for six years. . Would loooooooooooove to have a meetup or a domainer conference in Israel.

Anyone interested in a meetup in Israel please PM me. Time for some serious Israeli style networking. And BTW - I am also a bizzly guy, and agree that bamba is for kids.

LET THERE BE PEACE.
