Fair enough Hila. But that passage is from Christian scriptures, not the Hebrew Bible that is part of Judaism. The Hebrew Bible notably leaves out mentions of women in homosexual acts and specifically mentions only males.

Funny, hitler thought the same way.

Are you calling Hitler a Misanthrope? There is a lot of circumstancial evidence that Hitler was gay. Certainly many prominent Nazis were gay.

What is next, leading Rabbi calls for the extermination of palistinians?

I'm sure there is a crackpotout there. On the other hand, the last three Muftis of Jerusalem have called for the extermination of the Jews and PA television calls fo rthe same.

That is exactly what the law says, he is right on that!

This Rabbi is obviously related to Freud and maybe does too much Aggados.

What do you mean, "embarrassment," and I meant there is no prohibition in the Tanach, your old testament.

1) He is definitely not a "leading Rabbi". 2) The days of the week I am unsure about, but, in Hebrew, have always been referred to as "first day", "second day", ect. until the Sabbath. 3) Mixing fibers - actually only wool + linen, and we get our clothes checked. Usually problems are on care tags or in suits. 4) Restrictions on Hair Cutting - the Chatam Sofer, one of the prominent Rabbis in the early 19th century, writes that there are no reasons why having a beard is better than not. It is true that we are not allowed to shave with a razor, or anything else which will damage the follices/roots of the hair. We also aren't allowed to shave our head in a rounded fashion - i.e. cutting off the entire sideburns in such a matter that the hair looks like a helmet. However, it is true that a scholar has to dress differently, because of his station... And currently the accepted mode of dress includes a beard. My father's an Orthodox Rabbi, and I am studying to be one, and both of us are clean-shaven (though my instructors aren't :-)). 'Course he is active-duty USAF...

[Non-Sequitur]

Yeah, but in Leviticus 18:22 it's been reduced to simple abomination. Same as eating shrimp.

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, NOR THE DESIRE OF WOMEN, nor regard any [particular?] god: for he shall magnify himself 'above' all [the others].
