For non-Jews only: Do  you have Jews in your bloodline or family?  If so, what are your feelings about that?

I'm not cretain I like this question because I don't understand why you need to know this. It has veiled Semitic implications if were to be looking for a reason to single them out. I was once married to a Jew and even thought we're no longer married, we're still friends.

Every Jewish person I have met has been different. They are always extreme characters and I rarely meet one I don't instinctively like or admire. I have met them both in Israel and the United States, and I can tell you for a fact, that our world is a better place for having them around. I am glad the United States is still an allie with Israel. They are indeed God's chosen.

I am Jewish and it is a religion. Not a race.

i support zionism.  everybody deserves a home, but where can the jewish people go?  now they have Isreal, so they should keep it.  but that land was arab land, taken from other people.  who has the right to decide who gets what land? well, mabey superpowers :).  i am truely happy for the jewish people that they finally got a place to call home after thousands of years of hardship and opression.  i hope Isreal lives a long and prosperous life as on of the only civilized countries in the Middle East region.

To be truly Jewish, you have to be a direct (<-very important) descendant of the 12 sons of Issac, and it's somewhat hard to change your lineage, so not too many Jewish people in the world.

I agree actually. The Jews have been in diaspora since their founding as a people. They've been kicked around by everyone. That's gotta suck. However, lots of other peoples have been opressed as well. Think of the African Americans. Slavery, Segregation. In addition, the Romans made slaves of millions of people accross Europe. However, I think that the Jews win for the longest lasting. They are still having issues with Palestine...

Jewish people do discuss their opinion on the immigration issue.  I don't live in the United States at the moment so I'm a bit out of the loop on this issue, but I tend to be very compassionate towards illegal immigrants.  I think it's important to remember that we were all created in the image of G-d, that all people are entitled to live with dignity, and that we should try to think of what is moral and what is just, and then make that into a legal reality.  Sometimes laws are not just.  One of the central ideas in Judaism is that it's our duty to create a more just world.

Jewish people or Russians who doesn't even have an ounce of Jewish blood?\n\nIf you were a God who created the entire Earth would you remain stuck in Israel or would you visit Thailand and FL?

You son of a b**ch!  I lost 17 members of my family in Buchenwald and I know many, many other Jewish people who also lost family members.  The Germans kept meticulous records and we know for a fact that the numbers are correct.  If you are a Muslim, then no explantion is needed for such hatred.  But if you are a Christian, then you are not following the tenets of your religion and you should be ostracized from the Christian community!

I am not sure if you are saying that you are Jewish and you are trying to understand for yourself what that means.  Or if you are asking generally what it means when a person considers themself Jewish.  \n\nIf your mother is Jewish and her mother was Jewish, etc. all the way to Biblical times then you are by definition Jewish.  To research this more for yourself, these websites are good. http://www.aish.com and http://www.chabad.org\n\nIf you were asking in general what makes a person Jewish, usually they are born into it but there are also many converts.  Within Judaism there is a whole range and spectrum of beliefs.  But generally we believe in the Torah given to us by G-d over 3300 years ago, and is our guide for life now and forever. (Torah is what Christians refer to as the Old Testament).  Judaism also involves many customs and traditions.\n\nI hope this answered your question.  \nFeel free to e-mail for more info.

Yes, I celebrate the eight traditional sabbats; or did while My Steve, my high priest, was alive.  Now I mostly note that they have come (he died just before Yule), and remember what we would have done in our rituals.\n\nI also celebrate the Christian holidays because my friends and neighbors include me in their celebrations, and I notice the Jewish holidays because Steve's mother and sister are Jews.  He was too, genetically, but he always said I liked Jews better than he did!\n\nPersonally, I say any excuse for a party!
