In the older posts of this forum I recently discovered many relaxed conversations about a variety of topics. Where are the people and their stories? I admit that I was blind to this kind of talking, because I thougt this forum was more about fighting a certain religion. 

What do you think? What would it take to feel comfortable and to share here (again)?

Heard of it about a hour  ago

Recently I wrote to ASk A RABBI  on Chabad the following query 28 April 2021:
Jewish Orthadox objection to tomb moving?:
Question:
 Is it true that when remains of ancient  israelite tombs are found-do the Orthadox object to these rements being reconstructed and placed in Museums? Do they feel it would be more consitant with Torah teaching to have reconstructed these tombs and Left them in place?

Reply from Mendel Adelman 29 April 2021
Hey ,

It would be more consistent to Torah to leave them in place. The remains of the dead are not meant to be a spectacle. They are meant to "return to the earth". For example, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel forbade going to a Body Works museum as it "shames the dead". See  Shut Da'at Cohain #199.  Piskei Uziel #32.
A person who is buried is said to have "acquired the ground in which they lie" (Yerushalmi Nazir 7:1).
The tombs can be studied. But, to be taken for viewing in museum's is less than ideal.

Where in the "hebrew law" does it talk about being born of a jewish mother the child is jewish.

On 22 April 2021 I asked The Rabbi at Chabbad the following query:
By count the Israelites grumbled/rebelled against the L-d and Moses on

the following occasions:

1] Before crossing the Reed sea

2]After crossing the Reed sea in the desert

3]In  the desert before reaching Sinai

4] In the desert of Zin

5] The Golden calf

6] The Ten scouts return and report

7] Trying to enter the Land without the L-d Presence

8] Rebellion of Korah

9] Council against Moses and Aaron at Kadesh



Please correct me if Im wrong...but is their any partcular signifiance

that there were at least nine examples of grumbling from those who
came out of Egypt against the L-d and Moses?

On april 28.2021 here is the reply

Hi Tony,

Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Fathers) 5:4, says "With ten tests our forefathers tested G‑d in the desert, as is stated (Numbers 14:22), "They tested Me these ten times, and did not hearken to My voice.""

For a list of all 10, see www.chabad.org/2835829.

As for the significance of the number, in Jewish thought 10 is considered a "complete  (or full) number." The Jewish people tested G-d in the fullest sense, and G-d "proved" Himself to them every time.


All the best,
Rabbi Shlomie Deren

Hi everyone,

I currently a student attending Marist College in New York. I was wondering if anyone could help me out and answer 4 questions I have about being Jewish? I am currently writing an observational study about Judaism and Jewish people and your input would be greatly appreciated.

4 questions:

Were you raised by Jewish parents or relatives, if so what was your early life like practicing Judaism? If you were not raised by Jewish parents or relatives, why did you choose Judaism?

I recently watched a Synagogue service and saw alot of singing. My two questions are: Do you go to a Synagogue service regularly? What is the synagogue you attend or have attended like (is there alot of singing, preaching etc.)?

What does the word shalom mean to you?

How has COVID-19 affected you as a Jewish person? Have you went to Synagogue service since COVID-19 (if so, online or in person)? If you have went have you noticed anything different in the services (different preaching/ prayers, social distancing, mask wearing, etc.)?

There is a question that I've been asking myself for a long time. I hesitated to ask it here, because some of you could feel attacked since some Christians accuse Jews to be responsible for the death of Jesus. But I don't see it that way (I believe that it was His mission to come and die. So someone had to do it).

Here is my question: In the times of Jesus the people of Israel weren't allowed to kill (John 18:31) and therefore Jesus was handed over to the Romans. A little later, when Stephen appeared on the screen, the people stoned him. (Acts 7:58-60).  What do you think, why was it not allowed in one case and allowed in the other?
