There are people born Jewish who believe in Jesus, but I think it would be a stretch at that point to call them Jews anymore, except in the genetic sense. Judaism is a religion, but it’s also a people. And then, just to complicate matters, Ashkenazi Jews are also a genetic group.

However, Lubavitchers are a sect that does definitely identify as Jewish. Not all of them believe in the divinity of Schneerson, as your own quotes indicate:

…he attempts to show that this is not as revolutionary as it sounds. He concedes that there are few people like him who will openly call the Rebbe God. He claims, however, that many people believe it, but do not say so openly for fear of scaring people away from Chabad altogether.

In other words, it’s an unJewish thought that would scare adherents away, few people say they believe it but he guesses they secretly do. Not very convincing that this is a widely held belief. And the rest of your quote indicates that even those who do believe it don’t exactly believe it in the manner that Christians believe in Jesus’s divinity.

What’s more – and this is the most important point – the belief that a person is a god or even God directly contradicts the most basic bedrock belief of Judaism. That’s why some people call these people heretics.

The Progs are upset by the thought that the fancy apartment with clean water, electricity, internet that they stole from them productive people can be taken from them in a flash. The IDF “bunker busters” just remind them of what is out in the darkness.

As long as the population of Gaza tolerates the Hamas gang, they will starve amidst the filth. You know. Sort of like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago-south, etc.

Thanks again. I am now a confirmed Litvak Booster, with some exceptions for any present and ex-Politburo members of the South African Communist Party.

“Both Polish and Litvak Jews agree that Galitzianers can’t speak proper Yiddish.”

We have arrived, finally, at Synthesis. A fitting conclusion.

That’s interesting. Hungarian Jews must have been close to their intellectual equals, although with a more mathematics / hard sciences bent.”

The preeminent ashkenazi rabbi of the 18th century was R’ Eliyahu of Vilna, a Litvak, better known as the Vilna Gaon, the genius of Vilna. In addition to his rabbinical scholarship, he wrote a book on trigonometry and was also knowledgeable about astronomy.

Who sits at the back of the Ashkenazi Classroom? Galicians?”

Galitzianers? Hey now…

To get back to the point of the original post, personal security is paramount.

This is why you can never discuss it with our liberal co-religionists. They are against it. They don’t want it for Jews. Period. And they are against any means to obtain it: the police or otherwise. If you bring up the particulars of otherwise, you’ll get red flagged so fast your head will spin.

That has been the case ever since I began blogging. It used to also be that any post about Jews attracted tons of anti-Jewish trolls.

“Said it before; it will be sad/funny when Jews discover their safe spaces are Baptist churches and NASCAR events.”

I’ve yet to see an Eruv strung around Pit Lane, but will keep a keen lookout for this harbinger of the End of Days.

And for all you Baptists, Philhellenes, Wanderers in the Desert, and fans of the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
