Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say, but from an evangelical Christian perspective. You understand from the inside. We love Israel so much and it was difficult to be with Jewish friends who obviously didn’t care. I said, “ignorant”, and you added “assimilated”. “Assimilated” says so much.

I recall the first time we invited some of the friends for dinner. I researched the subject of Kosher just in case. Then, as it seemed so complicated and I figured I couldn’t do it correctly, I asked, “Do you keep Kosher?” They roared with laughter and requested shrimp.

I studied a bit of the Torah while sitting on a jury a decade ago. Love it.

Sorry but - Please do not be deterred by those Jewish friends of yours. They will figure it out eventually, hopefully. Even if Jews vote Obama 70% 2012 I assure you you there are American Jews. Me and some of my relatives for one, who greatly appreciate all Christians who think about Israel. This Jew says Jerusalem is the center of the world where Judaism is focused (City of David) and where so much of Jesus' life and death took place. I was born Jewish with a Jewish mother and father and always will be

Things are not that complicated. Like any other relgio-ethnic group, it is an individual’s right to observe their rituals or not. Most Jews are not Torah observant - hence they are ignorant about the law or what is known in Hebrew as the “Halacha”, literally translated, “the way” or “the path”. Jews who are ignorant and do not know the law will gladly eat non-Kosher foods like shrimp. So, no surprises here. You even get Jews who are anti-Jewish like many hardcore Liberal DemocRATs who would gladly help a PLO fighter harm an Israeli given the right circumstances. They come in all colors of the rainbow.
