Salams to one and all. So who is still around from the old crowd, who's left, who's joined, who bites the heads off jelly babies and who smells? I've been away so long but during a Google search today the forum came up and I remembered how much I loved our discussions here, so I'm back ...

Salam Does such a thing exist as a female rabbi? I'm asking because I just found out (I know, I'm a slow learner lol) that there were seven prophetesses in Judaic history ... picture me with my american pompoms doing the YAY for womens lib dance :D Am off to read more but would be very...

Salam guys Was scanning (reading not scanning in a printer) something the other day and my brain picked up on something about Jews breaking glasses at weddings (I've seen Fiddler on the Roof and never understood why they did that or the part about the canopy ... is that symbolic of the Temple?)...

I came across a blog post about the Quran and comments with the usual anti-Islam rot on it but found this one particularly funny so thought I would share. I read the post, with the usual misquoted and half quoted verses of the Quran and then went on to read the comments and found this: kevin...

Hi guys, can you help me with an answer to a question that I was asked this morning .. I don't want to take an uneducated guess so thought I would ask you. It was the usual argument about Israel and who has rights to be on that land. The analogy put to me is that if someone steals my apartment...
