The Other Side of the Web

The internet is a wonderful source of information. With a few clicks, you can find a good restaurant, a medical diagnosis, Letterman's Top Ten list from last night, or an essay on the history of Purim. But the internet is also full of dangers for the unwary; not just from the sexual or emotional predators we hear about, but from spiritual predators as well. Do a search on the Web for information about any Jewish holiday. Some of the helpful-looking links you will find will be from mainstream J

The Vatican and Two Millenia of Denial

The far-reaching effects of the kind of anti-Semitism fostered by the New Testament-attributing to all Jews of all times everywhere the presumed actions of a few first century Jewish leaders-took an interesting turn with the 1965 action of the Second Vatican Council. This church council took place against the background of a long history of Roman Catholic identification of the Jews as an "accursed people" and a "deicide race." It absolved, as far as the Roman Catholic Church was concerned, the

Responding to Missionaries and Cults On Campus and in Israel

Many college students and students "doing their year" in Israel have contacted Jews for Judaism to speak about run-ins they have had with missionaries and cult recruiters. It may have been someone they met on the street, at a cafe, in the library or cafeteria or over the Internet, and often, at college, by a roommate, dorm-mate or new "friend" from class. It is often referred to as "friendship evangelism". A Jewish student is befriended by a warm and outgoing Christian recruiter. As rapport an

Israel’s Relationship with God

By Rabbi Yisroel Blumenthal It wasn’t always this easy to be a Jew in a Christian country. In the 21st century, the Church’s age-old desire for the soul of the Jew can only find expression in the realm of the discussion. One of the few weapons that remain in the arsenal of the missionary is the scriptural argument. This same weapon is readily turned against the missionary by the Jew who has studied the scriptures. It was not always this way. There were times when the most intense pressures wer

Why don't Jews put flowers by a grave? Have you ever wondered? Let's find out. Question of the Week: I am going to visit my grandmother's grave, and was planning to buy a bunch of her favourite flowers.

Answer: The custom to place a stone on a grave is an ancient one. By doing so we are symbolically adding to the gravestone, building up the monument th

Is Intermarriage Good for the Jews?

Question of the Week: I have always felt an affinity to Queen Esther from the Purim story. Just like me, she married a non-Jew. And because of it she saved the Jewish people. Isn't the message that intermarriage can be good for the Jews? Answer: Esther is a tragic hero. Unlike many people's misconception, she was not happy to be queen. She was dragged away from her family and people, against her will, and forced to marry a grotesque and uncouth tyrant, the king of Persia, Achashverosh. This

Mark Twain: Concerning The Jews

Harper's Magazine, March, 1898 Some months ago I published a magazine article descriptive of a remarkable scene in the Imperial Parliament in Vienna. Since then I have received from Jews in America several letters of inquiry. They were difficult letters to answer, for they were not very definite. But at last I have received a definite one. It is from a lawyer, and he really asks the questions which the other writers probably believed they were asking. By help of this text I will do the best I c
