@Bear Wild - Spoiler Alert - You are going to recognize more tha few familiar avatars and/or names around here.

As you know Jennifer Moses is a well regarded author and artist. As you are probably aware the Commentary piece was written more than 20 years ago. She is long gone from Baton Rouge and now looks back with fondness in great part because of the close-knit Jewish community there, the synagogue she...

Are you familiar with the concept of megillot setarim?

@wil - is this the point when we make kissee face again?

Welcome back my friend. You have been greatly missed. Your participation, on whatever level, is lovingly anticipated.

@wil - If you truly, honestly, actually believe that for some reason I have singled you out, chosen you to be a target…. If you truly, honestly, actually believe that I have no concept about interactions on an interfaith forum…. Well then, I will do my best to stay out of your way. I will do...

Do you remember how back in January 2022 I pointed out that your use, in a post, of this line from Psalm 46 was based on a great sounding, but inadequate translation of the line?

What debate do you think is occurring here?

@Weishaupt - Some forums give members access to a face palm emoji. That all the response your post, #35, deserves. The available 👎 lacks the eloquent derision that the face palm or, perhaps, a poop emoji would convey. For someone who wishes to present himself as well read and knowledgeable...
