https://www.sefaria.org/Gittin.57a?lang=bi
Onkelos said to him: What is the punishment of that man, a euphemism for Jesus himself, in the next world? Jesus said to him: He is punished with boiling excrement. As the Master said: Anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement. And this was his sin, as he mocked the words of the Sages. (read in context)
What is this all about and why is Jesus mentioned?
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I was looking for online services to watch and found this one: https://www.centralsynagogue.org/worship/live_streaming
I only watched the one from last Saturday so far but really enjoyed it. It is also funny how services so often manage to address the exact topics that might be relevant to you at that pont in time. At least for me that was the case here.
Do you have some other recommendations for online services, maybe even from your community?
Thank you & I hope you are all well!

Hi everybody,
I've recently decided that I want to get in touch with my roots, it's been something that has been in the back of my mind for a long time but due to recently getting married and the prospect of children on the horizon I've realised that I don't want my children to grow up not knowing anything about the Jewish side of their history. Like I did.
My mothers family was Orthodox Jewish, although my grandparents died before I got to know them, my mother has never indicated any interest in Judaism, never talked about it and only ever shut down my previous attempts to start any conversation about it. I get the feeling that there is some bad blood there but I don't really know any details. My mother has always had a rebelious nature, a typical 60/70's hippie type. I was brought up in a completely areligious environment although for some reason she was insistent that I be circumsised at birth, which is uncommon for the country I grew up in.
So, with the recent developments in my life, I've decided I don't want my children to miss out on the rich history and culture that I was never able to be a part of growing up. I guess I'm hoping to find help in finding a direction for learning more about Judaism and the culture, there is a lot of information and I'm unsure where to start. I did consider going to the only Orthodx synagogue in my country but that feels very intimidating, so I thought I'd try online communities first to get my bearings.
Sorry for the essay, but I guess I wanted to provide some context to why I'm here. I look forward to getting to know you all in the near future
