Can a Gazebo be used instead of a chuppa? ( Jewish Question )?

Technically, but first you have to "rent" the gazebo for the wedding to be valid. Renting land accorsding to Jewish law is VERY complicated,so I'd stick w/ a chuppa. If you want a gazebo, give him money (actual bills, not a check, not coins) and say that u are renting the gazebo and the land it is on with this money for 8 hours. But it's better to be safe.

I don't think anything should be done.\n\nThere are many people on this site with diametrically opposed points of view.\n\nAS long as the guidelines are adhered to, you are just going to have to suck it up.\n\nIf you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!\n\n\n....................................................................................\n\nAddition.\n\nTaboo buster is stating that ALL religions are stupid. By the way he structured his question, I can see how someone might think that he hates only the Jews.\n\nI don't agree with the reasoning that he used to come to his conclusion, but by the interaction of the different viewpoints here on this forum, people might be able to see things from a different perspective and come to a different conclusion.\n\nUnder usage rules #No 4, it states that we can't report a person just because we don't agree with them.

Why not trust the original, the Hebrew Torah

You mean Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.  See links.

Yes, that's correct.  Observant Jews (trying to keep a Kosher home) are not permitted to turn appliances on on the Sabbath or on Jewish holidays.  It's explained further at the link below:

Probably not.  It sounds like Yiddish for "pimple eater" only the "to eat" verb is used only for animals eating, like from troughs.

It is a twist on scripture. My wife grew up in the same kind of church, a preachers daughter. If these bunch of legalisms would read the bible they would find out that that scripture ends with, "But we have no such customs in our churches." The original intent of this was concerning the Jewish law where women were supposed to cover their heads as a sign of subservience to God and their husbands. It's pure legalism. I have argued on the hair being a coverings also and how ridiculous this is. If hair is considered a covering, then men can go to church without pants on since we have hair covering our legs. It is legalism plain and simple.

Just stand up when they stand up, and sit down when they sit down. Dont write while there. There is no passing the hat or an offering taken at Jewish services, so you dont have to worry about that. You might be asked to wear the Yarmulke if it is a service at a Conservative or Orthodox congregation, sometimes at a Reform one too. Dress nicely.\n\nKnow you, and all, are welcome, "My house shall be a house of prayer for all people," as Gd said in Isaiah.

it's basically kosher, an orthodox jew probally wouldn't eat it as the dishes it's prepared with may have touched dairy at some point... but most jews i know love sushi.

Try the Temple Mount Faithful or the Temple Institute in Israel.  Both are looking toward this.

It's called a Kippot, not a skullcap, and they wear it for many reasons. Some do it to indentify themselves as jews, some to accept a mitzvah, to recognize that g-d is above us, and others.\n\nAll types of jewish men wear kippot. Married Jewish Women wear something similar in the synagogue.\n\nEDIT: Most jews do not believe in Jesus. You are probably a Messianic Jew, which is like christianity.

I'm Jewish, don't worry! For me, I would think it would a great thing to do as a mezzuzah does bless the house. Are you putting one up out of respect for your step family or because you do indeed think it will be a blessing and a "mitzvah" to do? If you truly believe in it's sanctity, as it is a sacred object whether then to appease your step family then it's fine.
