Would religious jews be able to eat 100% lab grown pork

the reason I say 100% lab grown is because current lab grown pork uses a small part of pork to cultivate more so its still sorta from the animal, so the 100% lab grow meat is just a hypothetical but still interested in knowing.

Do you feel like a member of an exiled diaspora?

​

It's been a long time since the Judeans were kicked out of Judea, but there's still the 'Next Year in Jerusalem' part of the liturgy and rebuilding the temple gets mentioned. I know that some of this relates to previous exiles, like the Babylonian captivity and the Assyrian captivity. So my question is: to what extent do you, as a Jewish person (living outside the State of Israel), feel that you're part of an exiled people, expelled and living abroad in an adopted country?

And if your family has been expelled from or pushed to leave other countries too (Eastern Europe for example), do you also feel to some extent that you're in exile from Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Germany, etc?

NB: this truly isn't meant as a bad-faith question. I'm also interested in other groups too: Do Armenians forced out of Turkish Armenia feel like exiles? Do African Americans feel like exiles from Africa? Do Cherokee and Choctaw Indians in Oklahoma feel like they're a people in exile after the trail of tears? The 'story of a people' is passed down through generations and is a big part of cultural identity, and I find it really interesting.

Have you watched House Of David?

Hey folks, just done watching a webseries called House Of David and it’s interestingly entertaining I just loved it!! Waiting for the final season 🤞 I’m just curious to know if any of my Jewish mates have watched it and what you think about its historical accuracy and the way they presented everything. I know there are things they added to make the series more entertaining but overall, do you think it’s close to the actual historical context or not?
