Turns out her family don't follow Judaism as strictly as I had expected. There was 11 of us there (her fatha, his vaguely racist south african mate, our lasses two sisters, her brother and their spouses as well as one of her brothers mates) all round a big table in their dads flat.

Said a few passages, broke some matzah in half (like a massive Jacobs cracker) to signal the start of it and everyone takes a piece, dips it in some ground up nutty stuff or beetroot paste to signify the cement used to build the Egyptians pyramids. The nutty stuff was like Kinder Bueno, the beetroot tasted like nettles. Plenty of singing, then we dropped red wine 10 times on a handkerchief to remember all the plagues before tucking into the first course. I savaged the fucker without even asking what it was cause I'm greedy as out, turned out to be minced carp mixed with tatties and formed into like stuffing. Canny good in all fairness with smoked salmon and trout on the side. Clear chicken soup, carrots and dumplings were next before the main course which was basically sunday dinner but better. Finally the traditional Jewish dessert of Vienetta to cleanse the palate and out came the voddy. Her fatha toasted the end of the meal with the other half of the matzah which our lass had to hide when he left the room and exchange its whereabouts for money (Jews man :lol: ). Had a cracking night all in all, lovely atmosphere and not at all what I expected, if you ever get the chance to go I'd defo recommend it.
 
I was about 5 weeks ago. I'm worshipping a different religion/god each week to see if I can discover any that actually exist. So far 0 out of 23 have answered my prayers. Didn't enjoy the week being Jewish as I wasn't allowed a bacon roll as a hangover cure. Not all it's made up to be like. Being a Sikh was quite cool as I got to carry a dagger around with me for a week.

That's pretty much how it goes. For most of us secular jews these things are nice traditions that are passed down from generation to generation. I enjoy passing these things onto my kids as I used to really enjoy them when I was young and they seem to too.

Nah mate, that's not a belief it's just a lack of any beliefs.

In trying to understand why people choose to believe in various gods on the religion top shelf one must put oneself in their place. No luck so far though. Feels quite lonely not having an imaginary friend.

For fuck's sake. You're like my mate at Uni who rediscovered Christianity and unbearably seized every opportunity to bang on about it. :lol:
 
Living in South Florida there are loads of Jews here, don't know why they gravitate towards Boca Raton like but they do.
Was talking to one of the lads at work who lights the Menora about the passover marlarky as he was bailing work early to eat some cardboard, his words not mine.
Said they passover is to celebrate legging it from Egypt and bailing towards Israel. The reason they eat Matzo or unleven bread is because they had nowt else and while they were on the run they didn't have time to wait for yeast to rise bread or beer to brew so for 7 days they eat nothing involving yeast.
Saw Gary Two Sheds scranning a git bit meatball sarnie from Subway today like, he says it's alreet cause he's Jewish Lite, claims to enjoy a bacon sarnie every now and again too.

So there you have it.
 
How long would this thread have lasted, if the question had been is anyone Black or Pakistani followed by the same type of posts?
I don't think the Jews are a race as most Ashkenazi are descended from a tribe of Turkish converts but they consider they consider themselves to be a race so should this thread not be considered racist?
Strange judgemental criteria on here at times. :confused:

Good man. Pleased that you had a good time. There are some around these parts who see religion as infection but give it a chance and you can come away with some canny experiences.

The people with the big hats, long coats and dreadlocks are definitely descended from the Khazars marra and their ancestors had never been anywhere near Jerusalem in their lives. Possibly one for you to investigate officer and then you can declare whether this should be classed as a racist thread or not.

It's both really. Anyone can convert into the Jewish faith but it also involves a cultural association towards jews as a people. NB that some right wing sects of Judaism will not recognise any converted jew as being such and they prefer to see it as a club that you're exclusively born into.

my investigative impartiality could be called into question on a day like today mate, being the anniversary of the crucifixion of our lord jesus christ there.
 
Jesus christ.. did he die to save our sins?

did he come back to life 3 days later..

Is easter a pagan festival to celebrate spring..

Why does it change its date every year to fit in with Pesach.

too many people have lied in the name of christ mate, for anyone to heed the call imo. so many people have died in the name of christ that I can't believe it all mate
 
I am Jewish and I do not consider this thread racist.. Why is it wrong to discuss other races and religions ?
Surely racism is spreading hatred for no reason other than a persons origin.. Not having a discussion as to what other people believe in and why they believe in it.
