Thank you for your informative post and for opening yourself to show the pain of a real injustice.

I have no answers. The tradition in which I was raised (intellectual Orthodoxy) covered over the Talmudic teachings you quote. Thank you for them. It will give me more to think about.

I think you have your answer, though. I think the people you reference do want us separated, the further the better. The New Covenant is threatening. If we don't know each other, then how could we ever communicate or heal old wounds?
