I genuinely dont know how to feed my boyfriend. He's kosher and I'm trying to find more foods that are not salads to eat. Sincerely help me I'm struggling.

Hey guys, I am from Turkey and in my country many people have terrible prejudices towards Jews. Many people see no issue with making fun of the Holocaust. I don’t know how exactly it is in Germany or the US, but I know that Turkey is not the only country where there is prejudice against Jews because I see many antisemitist content on social media. So why do you think Jews are specifically being targeted? There are so many ethnicities, but I think Jews are unfortunately the most internationally hated group.

I am not very knowledgeable about the wars that Israel is involved in and in this post I don’t mean people who hate Israel because of the wars it’s involved in, I mean people who hate Jews altogether.

If every single serving of gefilte fish at a given moment became a standing army, could it be possible that we could contain and defeat this evil fish attack? Let’s say they are able to launch carrots into the air and cast spells.

I know that numbers have something to do with your beliefs and perspectives and in order to understand God better I'm trying to understand the numbers that your beliefs are linked to that might give me a greater understanding of God. I have been on a very long journey to understanding God and the nature of existence and this information is pivotal to the way my beliefs can make the possible final leap towards a greater understanding. I know it sounds crazy but at one time I felt like God was communicating with me through numbers and it has left a long standing feeling like I need to understand certain things and your faith gives me hope that I might actually be able to truly understand God like God has been guiding me to know it. If anyone can actually help me it would truly help me. I know I sound like a crazy person and maybe that's all I am, but is it crazy to seek the highest and try to find truth in the lies of this world and of man and grow towards something bigger than the confines of our own minds and perception?

This video I've attached is something that I've tried to understand but somehow I lack the true capacity to understand it and I have been trying but maybe someone can take a little personal time to help me directly or through resources that can help me grow in my own personal understanding of God and the numbers that are connected somehow through your beliefs.

Thank you for any assistance with this.

Of course I must beg you to forgive my indolence, as I could find some articles or books about this topic but I ran into here and ask you to answer, please excuse me that I wanted some nutshell-kind answers by you guys.

It seems many philosophical, political, sociological, anthropological theorists have treated Moses' Israel and the system he had established before Saul acceded and Israel became a mornachy as a model of political system, whether they regard it as good or bad.

So I got curious about how general Jewish people or scholars would see this problem. Aside from his obvious divinity, how is Moses' theocracy understood in current day Jewish society?

I've been learning how to cook Jewish food since my boyfriend is Jewish. I see a lot of recipes with honey. I just wanted an explanation for why there is so much honey.

Hi, I’m personally not Jewish but I heard that religious practicing Jews use kosher phones to protect themselves from inappropriate content and digital addiction, mainly in the Hasidic community. I was looking into buying one potentially and I was curious what are the best cheap brands?

I was from a non-observant family, became Orthodox, and left behind to become a Catholic. Does this make me a bad person. I have heard it makes me an appropriator or a "Messianic." I'm not sure.

Hi so I'm not Jewish and I've always wondered what exactly makes food kosher so I wanted to ask you the Jewish community how do you exactly prepare food kosher

Hi everyone,

Although I did not grow up in Jewish surroundings, I have a strong interest in mythology, culture, religion, and in particular Judaism. I am currently reading The Essential Kabbalah by Daniel C. Matt and The Tree of Souls by Howard Schwartz. I am also working on a personal project in which I am writing a game inspired by these themes.

I have a few questions and would also appreciate any recommendations for good sources, different reddit communities, youtubers or books.

Question 1:
Can angels reproduce with humans, and is there any concept in tradition of a parallel or spiritual version of Earth where angels reside when they are not visible to humans?

Question 2:
Is there more detailed information available on specific angels, such as Puriel and Dokiel, for example angels associated with judgment and fire?

Question 3:
Are there any traditions or texts that describe specific locations on Earth where portals or connections to higher or lower realms are believed to exist?

Thank you so much for thinking with me, im curious to learn from everybody.

This has been bugging me for 20+ years. I was at a conference with an Orthodox (male) coworker. We were speaking with a vendor, who was Jewish, and she mentioned how she recently had a child. I said "mazel tov!" and my coworker promptly said something like "don't say that."

Any idea what the issue was? Was it that I'm a non-Jew?

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the Jewish people I've seen always use old-fashioned phones like flip phones, which are those that only works for making calls and sending messages. Does this happens to everyone, it's a minority or a coincidence?

hello! i am holding a potluck for my birthday in a week, and i want to list the restrictions necessary for something to be kosher as part of the dietary restrictions needed in the potluck invitation, rather than simply stating "- kosher" since some people don't always know what that entails.

so, just to be safe, i wanted to ask you lovely folks what the best way this would be for me to put this down on my little invitation, especially as a non-jewish individual. (my sister-in-law is jewish, but she's too busy for me to ask!)

thank you! ❤️

Should I wait to get books to educate myself on Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah & Zohar) without diving in to Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah & Zohar) until I’ve officially converted to Modern Orthodox Judaism? (I may edit this to make it more concise, also are Kabbalah & Zohar a part of Jewish mysticism?)

I was adopted by a reform family. As a teenager, I received immersive, comprehensive education on Judaism for years. I answered questions before a group of knowledgeable orthodox jews, but they weren't rabbis. I did submerge in a mikveh. I recently started to wonder whether it was valid. the rabbi who oversaw it was kind of greedy and would earn a commission, we later learned, for my lessons. i've considered myself jewish since then, but am i by reform standards?
