This article talks about the holocaust; but there has been an ongoing internal destruction among Jews since the enlightenment: That is full assimilation, the need to be liked, the spiritual devastation of the Jew from the Left, from Reform and Conservative Judaism.
Historically, it is only recently that this has become a pandemic. Judaism was supposed to universalize its values, and Christians were supposed to spread that message all over the world. This has largely stopped, and it couldn't have stopped at a worse time, now that the Left and Islam are much more serious and diligent in furthering their traditions.
American 'Progressivism' unfortunately has large contingents of Jews in their midst. Jews, by nature and religion, should be Conservatives!

They have forgotten the Truth. Many American Jews just look at their religion as an elite club.
And their empty lives reflect their shallowness.
There are some who know the Truth, and who do the right things, but American Jews are lost in the wilderness, by and large.
But listen, the Lord always talks about a remnant. The problems with Jews is NOT other people, it is themselves.
The first sentence is all the farther I go to we where this was going. Why believe in anything. Believe in nothing and form no opinions and be a mindless journalist. If you can’t spell become one of the low information people and do exactly what the mindless journalists say. Believe in nothing./s
Apparently, (and sadly) for too many Jews, the bowl of pottage is too compelling to resist.
My girlfriend is Jewish. There’s no way I would raise my children Jewish since a majority of American Jews actually have no faith. When seventy percent of your religion supports a President that is hostile to your homeland, you’ve really gone off the deep end. One day, I’ll teach my children about the rich history of the Jewish people, but I see no reason why I would ever allow them to be affiliated with American Judaism.
word salad
Because one should never pay retail?
I totally understand. When I started my journey to understand the Jewish Jesus, I was so rewarded. The Old Testament, the Torah are beautiful love stories.
I am one of them.
Chopped liver, pastrami on rye with Russian dressing?
Bowls of kreplach? Cabbage soup? Matzo ball soup with noodles?
I know. Cold beet borscht with sour cream.
Ah, lox and bagels.
When Holy Redeemer Hospital merged with Abington Hospital, they negotiated that abortions could no longer be performed on the premises. In response, a group of Jewish rabbis protested the merger and the decision to outlaw abortions at the hospitals. Only the orthodox Rabbis supported the decision of the hospital.
At that point in time,I realized that most American Jews have utter disregard of their Holy Book.
You'd think so, wouldn't you?
So should Christians. Yet how much trouble have modern-day, mainstream "Christians" caused in the world? A lot.
If you understand Judaism and want your kids to be that way, fine. Being Jewish, bound to the TANACH (Bible) requires a tremendous amount of effort on a daily basis and for the vast majority of ignorant and lazy Jews, it's just too much.
If you marry your Jewish girlfriend, the kids will be Jewish according to Jewish law (Halacha). If you raise them that way or not is almost irrelevant, they're Jews, ignorant maybe, but still Jews.
You stated:

It’s not “utter disregard”, it’s utter ignorance. They don’t have a clue about who and what they are. They don’t have a Holy Book, they have the 5 Books of Moses and the Commentaries, hundreds of books...
I’m not bound by Jewish law. If I baptize my kids, they are Catholic. In fact, in order to have an inter-faith marriage, I will have to promise my future pastor that I will do the best of my abilities to raise the kids Catholic.
<3 U, Your Inner Hebrew Speaks!
The magic of borscht it one reason. It provides a natural way to put nitric oxide into your bloodsteam. Nitric oxide widens your blood vessels which lowers your blood pressure and provides the benefits of Viagra. Seriously.
The food is great but all of it is a spin-off from the religion and then culture.
G-d did not tell the Hebrews to go easy on the salt, did He?
He didn't say that chopped liver is full of cholesterol.
He didn't warn the Hebrews that lox was addictive!
He didn't tell them that a well grilled Reuben sandwich (corned beef, sour kraut and melted Swiss cheese on toasted rye bread) was Kosher, did He?
