The person in the picture is not me.

From my understanding it is suppose to translate to "Impossible Is Nothing"

1. Was wondering if its accurate?
2. How would one pronounce it?


thank you!

Very sad today. The news from New Zealand is nothing short of horrific. We send our prays and condolences, and hope for a more peaceful future for all people.

Elsewhere in this book, the author consistently transliterates Ashkenazi צירי as "ie." Why, when listing the letter names, does he use "byse" and "vyse" instead of "bies" and "vies"?

Hey you guys,

I am looking to find answers from seriously studied folks here that can help me understand what is the Jewish perspective of the covenant relationship between G-d and Israel in the Hebrew Scriptures. Would you be willing to answer some questions of mine?

Video - 1 minute 39 seconds.


As I watched this video again. I'm thinking that life is either consolation or desolation in my case, and it can last longer than a week. Consolation is when everything is going great, life just flows along, we have awareness, and feel fulfillment.

Desolation is feeling occasionally fearful, maybe obsessing and worrying, things don't seem to fit as they did. Tiny accidents seem to follow. Maybe a bit like feeling out of step with life.

I am grateful this week is going well. I think it's important that we remember how it feels to be in both ways. It's good to remember consolation when we are in desolation, and desolation when we are in consolation. And I'll tell you whats really important in my case. Both these feeling last as long as they are supposed to last, they don't drag on endlessly. They seem to be carefully timed. There are so many ways to look at it. We are in one so we can appreciate the other.

Hey everyone,

I was listening to this sermon the other day, and the speaker briefly touched on the history of Jewish life after the Babylonian exile, spending most of that time on the function of the synagogue, since the subject was about certain struggles and issues within the early church between the Hellenist Jews and those that resided in Jerusalem. Obviously, the church services we Christians have are modeled after the functions of the synagogue, for we read in the Christian Scriptures that converted Jews turned their synagogues into the first churches of that time. But, what he discussed was really interesting, since I never studied much about it. One of the key things he said was that the purpose of the synagogue was to preserve Jewish life after the exile, to help the community where there were needs, and to stimulate practical living in accord to G-d's law. Whereas the Temple was the place of worship, the synagogue was to bring encourage and fellowship within the Jewish community. It was interesting, he began to show the various functions of the church-life modelling most of it  after it, including collections of food and sometimes money to help widows and those in need. Sure, not exactly identical or the same in every way, but still it is very encouraging, at least to me, to see this. 

Now, I thought it best to actually ask all of you a little more about that history, purpose, and function of the Jewish life in the synagogue (and maybe everything surrounding it). I am a little afraid to ask the "Messianic" bunch, as many of them seem really off on different things. If you have an article, or if you want to share something about it, please! Here are some starter questions from an outsider such as myself:

When did it begin, and why?

What were/are the functions of it, and what roles did/do the elders (or whoever it may be) play in it?

What does your synagogue services or function look like? What are some extra things your community does?

If anything I said is off, like my first paragraph, I will accept the criticism. Thank you for your time.

I am immediately new to your forum, so I hope I do not break any rules here. If I do I assure you it is not intentional. 

The backdrop for my question... 

I am nearing the end of the book of Numbers and it occurred to me that once the tribes settled in their individual lands, how did the people offer sacrifices of any sort? 

I know the various houses of the tribe of Levi were scattered throughout Israel, but the priests seem quite localized according to Joshua 21:13-19, and I imagine that the requirement to offer sacrifices just outside the tent of meeting at the altar was not amended to accommodate multiple locations once they settled in the land.

My specific inquiry...

I know about the required times of sacrifice which applied to all Israelites but according to Numbers 15, the wording seems to imply that whenever an individual sinned they were to offer sacrifice over which the Priest would administrate. Since humans have not changed at all, I imagine that the need to offer sacrifice therefore was quite regular. How then did say someone from the tribe of Asher, offer sacrifice when the nearest and in fact ONLY priests and tabernacle (so far as I know) was at best DAYS away? If I had lived in that time - I would have to have taken up residence in Judah just to keep up and I honestly try to obey the law.

In addition to this - what of all the other types of sacrifices like for guilt or even just a freewill offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow.

Can we list the potential ways of transliterating Polish Ashkenazi בֵּית, בֵֿית, פֵֿא [bajs], [vajs], [faj]? I already have transliterations in mind, but I want to see them.

Hello,

I am a Reformed Protestant here, not to evangelize/proselytize, but to learn more about the Jewish faith, culture, and quirks if that is welcome, as well as meet some of you. 

It was stated that I should try to give something that shows what I think is important about my personality. Hmm, I think wearing a shirt and a pair of pants shows that I am self-conscious about how I look without it


Thank you for having me, even though this site still looks like it is in development with very few members.
