I just finished watching Ha Ushpizin. I hit play because I wanted to watch a Hebrew movie with subtitles for language learning, not knowing what the movie was about, and ended up really enjoying it (For those unfamiliar with it, it is about an orthodox couple facing unexpected trials on Sukkot, a bit like a religious fairy tale and a tad cheesy at times, but also humorous).

Do you have any recommendations for movies with Hebrew as the original language, with a similar theme? Or any other movies (either in Hebrew or with something to do with Judaism in the broadest sense, no matter the genre) you'd like to recommend?

Take the hearts from a deck of cards and remove the face cards, leaving the A  thru the 9 , where A  counts as zero.

Shuffle and deal out the cards to form a 10-digit number.

If the right-most (least significant) digit is odd, swap it with any even card.

The resulting 10-digit number will be a Chai, i.e., a multiple of 18.

Shavua Tov ...

Hello all! New to the forum.. sounded interesting have looked at what jewish forums are around. Hope
to learn and share

My grandmother used to call all of her kids and grandkids “Schekerle“. I am not sure how to spell it exactly. Is there a meaning in Hebrew or Yiddish for Schekerle or Sheker-le? I know that a -le at the end of something can mean “little” and it’s something endearing.

My knowledge of the actual events and history of the holocaust is limited besides the 6 million number and the usual stuff that you pick up. This is a situation which I'd like to fix especially given the current climate

Can anybody recommend a good, readable, fairly in-depth history of the Shoah preferably written from a Jewish perspective? On the tragedy in general, rather than specific accounts. I'd really appreciate it.

Hello, I am new and wanted to understand the culture of Judaism as I find it very fascinating. I was Read the Old Testament of the Bible and wondered why a lamb was needed to be used as a sacrifice.
Apart from the reason it was to liberate the Israelite who were under the oppression of Pharoah, I did some digging and saw certain laws explained that fact that animal” blood “Lambs/Goats” were used as a means for forgiving ones person’s sins. (I hope I am right)

Certain things I feel Are not clear in the Bible. I am a Christian by the way. I would like to know: when the Passover lambs are being prepared before Passover. They have to go thru inspection to be found spotless and unblemished to be used for Passover. (I read in few articles on the web) that the preparations for the Passover lamb was chosen 4 days prior to be sacrificed. According to the preparation, does the lamb’s feet and ankles get oiled (anoint) prior to Passover day? Lastly the head of the goat will be oiled (anoint) too to signify it has been checked as unblemished? Is there such a thing?

If I'm not mistaken, you are allowed a certain amount of viewing per month for free.

Hopefully, you can enjoy this video.

Always amazing to me to see correlations to other parts of the Torah  never realized were there!
