I am the next king David

Couldn't you have picked to be the next King Shlomo? I rather be the new Queen of Shevah than Bat Shevah! Lol.

I can't be king David actually. I would never cheat.

Kingdom of Israel, Leningrad and me are Levi'im that's pretty awesome ! Caste system? I do believe that is against one of our 613 mitzvot and that is to love the gentiles. I would never support an Israel under a caste system. As we await the Messiah and I believe we as a people who are lights upon the nations (or lagoyim) and should conduct ourselves as the people of G-d as we are. My belief is that we must push and help the gentiles towards the Messianic Era, it's our duty to show the lovingness and righteousness of G-d is it not?

I do have some Cohen and a little Judah too

Actually the mitzvah is to "respect the Ger" (Ger=convert), halachically Gentiles that are not Gers can't exist in Israel (It is shown very well in Joshua, and the Hasmonean Kingdom...)
For example- Vazdania would be a Ger Gentile.

On the paternal side- a Levite
And also Cohen on other side of the family.

My great-grandmother's last name was Kahn and her family was Kahns and Cains. Definitely Cohen.

You'd rather be an Arab? (Joke)
(Shvah is modern Saba in Yemen...)

What do you all think was the purpose of YHWH's convenant to Abraham?

[Kingdom of Israel]

What do you all think was the purpose of YHWH's convenant to Abraham?

I think there was no such covenant
I mean, they are also talking about the Philistines in Abraham's story even though they came only 600 years afterBefore his proposed date.

EDIT: Oops, wrote after instead of before

But if there was, what would it be?

It's purpose.

The Abrahamic covenant was to ensure the survival of the Jewish people and all future covenants would be with them.

To be a light to the nations, a witness people.

I have no idea honestly, I could see how it could be used antisemitically but other than that I'm a bit baffled.

Perhaps he had some philo-semitism?

How could you use a great explorer's Jewry as a tool of antisemitism?

[Dangelia]

So yeah... this happened.

He does look Jewish to me.

Well Colombus didn't have the greatest string of peace and people could say that this happened because he was Jewish... or that the violence he caused was because of his Judaism...

[Menassa]

It's the hat.
