True.

Not to be confused with "THAT" slope...right?

Is it offensive for a non-jew to refer to a jew as a jew (in a non-deroggatory manner)?

Matzoh balls: hard or soft?

I used to be a hard matzoh ball fan, but when I got married I saw the advantage of light & fluffy... now we just go with whatever comes out, as my wife's matzoh balls rock!!

Not necessarily. Jewish is fine. Anything non-derrogatory hopefully shouldn't/wouldn't be considered degrading.

Can a non-circumsized man become jewish without becoming circumsized?

I don't believe so.

Do jews ever remorsefully discuss Jesus' death?

My music and food choices must have gotten to people...
Who'da though Led Zep, Prime Rib and a Padron '26 #1 would be sooo controversial?

Ok here is a gimmi, are cigars purchased from B and M's better than cigars purchased from on-line stores?

M1903A1 · 05-18-2009, 06:38 PM

Is there such a thing as "too much garlic"?

What's the question - of course!!

Does B&M stand for bowel movement?! Jewish mothers have to make sure you are regular.

Rabbi,

TKs so much for doing this for us. I'm finding this some very interesting reading and very informative also. Here's my simple question.

My daughter is just over 2 now and for family reasons that I don't need to get into here we to this point haven't done a baby naming for her. Is this a problem or will it be a problem later when we enroll her in Hebrew school and look to have a Bat Mitzvah for her?

Tks so much.

My daughter is also just over 2, as well. Good stuff!!

A Jewish child can be named at any point in their life. In fact, my wife's grandmother was named in her 80's. For a girl, she should be named over the Torah in Shul, a very simple, meaningful prayer is said and BAM! she's got a Jewish name. This should be done at the most immediate Torah reading after her birth. The Torah is read in synogogue ever Mon, Thurs and Shabbos AM. One usually has a small kiddush in her honor on Shabbos. It is never to late, do it ASAP. If you need any further help with this let me know. If you need help with a name, place to go etc. or I could even do the prayer for you...

(side note: Boys are named at their Bris, hopefully on the eigth day after they are born)

Most of this I'm well aware of but thanks for your advise. One question though I always thought, but could be remembering wrong isn't the Torah also taken out and read from on Sunday's with typhillon (sp?)? I could have sworn when I was young they took the Torah out Sunday mornings when I used to go with my dad and then have breakfast afterwards there.
