Jewish Discussion Thread

[Mizrah]

I already knew this. It is whether or not gay marriage is something permissible.

According to the Talmud two Jewish man can try and get married any way the want and it simply is not recognized.

Whether the secular government should abide by this is a different story.

There will be those left leaning Orthodox communities that recognize a gay marriage religiously based on their status of being "ahnoos". Right leaning Orthodox communities will not recognize a gay marriage at all.

But, in civil matters, I suppose that is what I am asking.

Funny thing Evraim. Menassa and I actually live in two different cities right next to each other.

I don't think you know where I live.

If I remember correctly, you lived in Dallas and have been to Congregation Magen David.

[Ralkovia]

Who ordained Ralkovia?

On second thought, I don't want to know...

He was born a Rabbi.

I am Chief Rabbi of Awesomeness.

I'm not the only one living in Texas?

No no. I am Arborlawn. You told me you live in Texas. I simply changed my name. I am in Fort Worth, and go to Israel often. You also vote Republican.

Im a modern-thinking reformodox Jew. In current times, we have to continue on. We fought for our rights, we do feel the same pain for those who are homosexual or for those who are repressed. I would rather give the rights of those like us, those who have been repressed, rather than have them feel the pain.

I believe Gentile homosexuals should be afforded the same rights as Heterosexual gentiles... I do not however believe the Law is subject to change.

I understand the Law. However, we have to understand that the time it was written in, is a much different time than today. Same thing goes for the Bible as well. We do not do most blood or livestock sacrifices as we did way back then, the Law and tradition has changed. Is it asinine to follow a code of Law that may be obsolete today, or is it what Adonai wants. I remember Adonai being a savior for the people, the common man. How we may feel about love should not be judged and not be determined by us, but by the words of God. How can we say that homosexual marriage cannot happen as the times and feelings change? Can we adapt like we have done in the past?

[Evraim]

I remember. You said "Arborlawn" wasn't Jewish enough - and I agreed.

Also, you disowned me after the last revelation...

Yes. Yes, you are.

How is today's Israeli Defensive Force? Its been 8 years since I lived there.

They are doing quite well. Draft dodging is becoming quite a problem. I may be joining the Israeli Air Force soon.

I heard they are pretty good. Yet I also hear that Israel is this testing ground of new military technology.

They are. Israel constantly creates and tests new technology to remain superior to the enemies.

Yes. Yes, you are.

I did disown you after being a Republican. But in all honesty, I support Shas in Israel. The perfect cross between Orthodoxy and Socialism. Mizrahi Jew for the win!

But yes. My original nation was named off a Methodist Church near my synagogue.

Well yea. Middle Eastern politics has two choices.

A) Go crazy
B) Threaten Israel.

As far as my understanding goes of remembering political parties of Israel when I was young.

Likud Beitienu- Rightists who believe in neo and revisionist zionism. Was never fan of Likud or Yisrael Beiteinu.

Kadima- Center-left. They are an okay part, but nothing to much sticks out too much. I think they are too centrist a party.

Labor- Great party. I wish they had their power they originally had back in the beginnings of Israel.

Shas- Im not orthodox, but they seem an alright party. However, Im not a fan of religious governments.

Hatnuah- No, just no.

Jewish Home- If Shas went Yisrael Beiteinu politics. No.

National Union- Same as Jewish Home

UTJ- Too orthodox, reminds me a lot of a lesser known Shas.

United Arab List-Ta'al Coalition- I wish for more Israeli-Arab interests, however I am not a fan of anti-Zionism.

Hadesh- My leftist brothers and sisters.

Meretz- More of my leftist brothers and sisters, I have a little less interest in green politics though.

Balad- Interesting an Arab democratic socialist party? Would like to see more..

Otzma Le Yisrael- Reminds me too much a more rightist Yisrael Beiteinu....I never thought that was possible.

Am SHelem- Shas seperatists, Idk why.

Yesh Atid- Dat new party. Seems interesting but it looks like a smaller Kadima.

Kadima is center-right, actually.



My dad plans on voting for Da'am because their leader is an amazing politician, apparently.

They'll just never get a seat


My mom might vote for Ale Yarok. I'd vote Labor if I were old enough.

Ale Yarok seem like the interesting party. They have a pot leaf in their symbol.

They're the only party, afaik, that wants to legalize weed.

Really? Id vote for them just for that. But in reality probably Labor.

I'd vote for them (and they're on the verge of getting a seat), but they're classical liberals.

The National Union is actually what I most agree with according to many tests. And, I must say, they are pretty good.

[Mirkana]

You know, maybe they should just elect the Gil Pensioners. Just for a laugh.
