Same thing we do in more modern Hebrew, in more ancient Hebrew they were not written, just known

Ah ok, I wasn't sure if Hebrew did that. I'm more familiar with Arabic and Coptic, I don't know much about Hebrew.

Then you know all the so-called names of G-d in the Bible are not actually names but attributes of His personality, and we know which part is showing when by which "name" is used :p

It doesn't always have to be that way. I've been married for 3 years and some change to a man that comes from a practicing Jehovah's Witness family. We don't have much of a problem. I am not a Witness myself and I have no intention or desire to be one. It hasn't really brought much turmoil into my marriage. Only at the beginning, when we said we were gonna get married. However, I do concede that we came from the Christian tradition, I just grew up Catholic.This cousin jumped from Christianity to Judaism. I imagine the change is abysmally different.

It tends to be.. the jump that is... and you marry someone who has been raised Jewish... you tend to have very different values.

Question. I was informed that in reading the Torah, in ancient times, the reader had to supply vowels and punctuation while reading. Is this accurate?

A little, everyone knew what the values and punctuation were by Oral Tradition... it wasn't until later people began to forget and the Masorites wrote it down.

A nice girl my age whispered in my ear "Wanna be kinky?" to me at the Library.
Now normally that sounds awesome to someone like me, but it's a little eerie when you're reading the local paper about two articles about an Adult shop burning down and a registered sex offender of the kinky variety being arrested again.
What was I doing the last half hour? Well that's none of your goram business!

That's what I thought. Plus, I am sure he also had problems with the diet, as in no pork or shellfish. And also with the practicing of Judaism per se. That the marriage lasted 10 months was a feat in and of itself.

The family branch in Spain never met her. These are cousins from one of my maternal grandmother's sisters who went to live in NYC when she was 16. There's a side of my family that doesn't speak Spanish.

That's interesting. I've always be fascinated by how the languages of the Afro-Asiatic family treat vowels, they all seem to heavily favor the consonant roots. Even Egyptian/Coptic is like that.

Ah. How prevalent is the Oral Tradition still to the Jewish community now? I know there's always emphasis on the reading of the Torah (something I am sure you know better than I do as you're studying the Law). But, is the Oral Tradition still important for today's Jews?

My job check comes in every Friday.

The disability check is because my AS/HFA is just bad enough that the gov't doesn't think I'm mentally/emotionally capable of holding down a steady full-time job. >_>
