The gentiles—the goyim—the Infidel; they think they know about the Jews. It’s all about the International Jew Conspiracy; the Rothschilds; the Rockefellers and the Roosevelts and others (who are all really, actually Jews).
But they really don’t know the Jew at all.
I am not a religious Jew. I am an inculcated cultural Jew. I’m a propagandized Jew—educated in my distant youth, by some minor Talmudic and rabbinical purveyors of Jewry.
And yet, here I am, a right wing, deplorable, conservative Trumper.
To me, Limbaugh, Coulter, Levin, and Hannity are commies.
Well…not really.
But almost.
I am not a religion person. I am a spiritual person. I have intellectually wondered and marveled. And I do believe that I feel an instinctive Connection to the universe. Or to some unconscious Creator. Maybe it’s stardust left over from the Creation; or dropped by the Creator Itself.
After all; we are all made of star stuff. Stardust. We are all really made of the same powder and power. We are all the same that way.
Anyway, I do think we all sense that singular Connection. We either have it, or want to have it, or maybe get it back.

I am not a religion person. I am a spiritual person...
I wonder what that means? :)
Jewish ain’t a nationality :)
Joined a couple weeks ago to blogpimp? About Jews?
Oh, brother...
Report to your local Chabad house ASAP, soldier.
So just WHAT is a "spiritual person"? Seems a description with very few yardsticks. Do they sit and hum "Ooooohhmmm" all day? Murder one less person? Keep the laws of kosher exactingly? This is a meaningless label. However, I "got" what he was trying to say in the entirety of the article.
According to him, the Jew is supposed to be a human sticking point, a thorn in the side to those who would ignore morality and integrity. That's why they have to be gotten rid of. They are a silent, ever-watching source of guilt for transgressors. I can live with that label.
I know I have personally suffered for standing up to morally wrong practices and lapses of integrity. How I was treated by the NYC Bored of Ed is a striking example. They don't want teachers with morals or integrity. They want conspirators with their mass program of fraud, deception, and indoctrination. Go along with that, or be mercilessly harassed out.
human sticking point, a thorn in the side to those who would ignore morality and integrity....
I thought you meant my mom :)
Everything you say makes sense. And I agree.
And you sound like a stand up person. With a lot of integrity.
Someone I would call friend.
WOW, 288 ads blocked from that site, 180 on the first click, and another 108 to get the full article.
Excellent article, but I don’t think that too many folks without an ad blocker will be able to read it.

- by Rabbi Manis Friedman
If you ask someone coming out of a church “Do you believe in G-d?” the worshiper is shocked. “What type of question is that? Of course I do, that’s why I’m here.”
But when you walk into a synagogue on Yom Kippur and ask a Jew, “Do you believe in G-d?” the Jew is quiet. “I don’t know, I’m not a rabbi.” “Do you consider yourself religious?” They break into laughter and assure you that they’re the furthest thing from religious. “Are you kidding? Do you know what I eat for breakfast?”
So you ask the logical question. “What are you doing in a synagogue?” But the Jew is shocked. “What type of question is that? It’s Yom Kippur!”
To be sure, the worshiper and the Jew are shocked for very different reasons. The worshiper is shocked that you question his belief. The Jew is shocked that you question his Jewishness. Judaism is not a religion that we practice, nor a belief that we prescribe to - it’s who we are and what we are.
While the Jew may insist “I don’t want to be religious, I don’t want to believe in G-d,” on Yom Kippur he’s in a synagogue. Why? G-d wants me here, so here I am.
But isn’t this hypocrisy? On the contrary, Torah views this very irrationality as the essence of the Jew. It is this insanity that makes us Jewish.
Subjective opinions to an objective truth; I am a Jew even if I’m not religious, and G-d is G-d even when I don’t believe.
The author sounds confused.....
The Jew, to the mal-educated, represents God’s absolute authority. There is this book, see, and it says that God is creator. By him all things were created, things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible. Whether thrones or rulers or powers or rulers or authorities, all things were created by Him and for Him. That’s “why.”
There is a group of Jews that no matter how bad they have been sinning, still would rather beg forgiveness from the Lord than sever that last tie.
And the Lord honors that, though not necessarily the way they have been expecting.
