Doctors, medics, engineers, computer programmers and the less glorious cooks, tailors (armies need uniforms), shoemakers etc who work with or for the IDF all play an important role in defending Israel.Hadassanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-10738140342826974082012-10-02T08:40:14.224+02:002012-10-02T08:40:14.224+02:00Over the years, a number of "thinking Christi...Over the years, a number of "thinking Christians" have ended up conveting to Judaism after realizing that their religion didn't make sense.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-88532633501837788592012-10-02T07:25:33.455+02:002012-10-02T07:25:33.455+02:00Sukkot is noteworthy because a quite a few schools...Sukkot is noteworthy because a quite a few schools-of-thought of Notzriut feel that they are still under the obligation to observe this one particular holiday. Not as any form of cutesy nostalgia, nor as trickery to talk Jews into "accepting Jesus", but rather by virtue of their interpretation of what their Scripture purports to present as a transcription of his actual words. In fact, my interpretation of the source of Vatican hostility to the Hebrew State is, they are terrifed of the possiblity that Catholic schools-of-thought might start to think about the fact that Jesus (if he actually existed, of which there isn't any evidence that he ==couldn't have==)... didn't preach in Latin, and in fact, never directed his (alleged) preaching to the wider world outside of the Subjects of the ostensibly Hasmonean Monarchs that the Romans arranged to be sitting in the Palace in Jerusalem.<br /><br />Drifting (with your kind permission) off on a tangent, as I learn more and more of the historical record, it seems to me that Shlomo ha-Melech was operating a GIGANTIC Royal Navy; which today is mis-remembered as "Phoenicians"Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160350570530717935noreply@blogger.com
