Do people who are Jewish by ancestry but are descendents of apostates need to convert? Very good read @Double AA. |

Are Christians and/or “Messianic Jews” considered Jewish by Jews? Once a Jew, always a Jew. There's nothing that can change that. Jews who practice Christianity (which is what Messianic Jews are (and by "Messianic Jews," I mean people who are actually Jewish by birth but practice the religion of Christianity) are simply considered to be Jewish apostates by mainstream Judaism. (And, for the record, I am not a Messianic Jew by profession. I am Jewish by birth but refer to myself as a Christian in the context of religious discussions where my beliefs require acknowledgement to others). |

Is programming against Judaism? I'd say you "make," not "create." And, I think it's not merely a distinction without a difference. |

A quote of Shlomo ibn Gabirol The difference between מודה and מורה seems to be a scribal error as a result of confusion between ד and ר. As I'm sure you know, such confusion was even common in the Tanakh. Great answer btw. |

Why was there a covenant cut with the benei Yisra'el at Sinai, then at Chorev, and yet again at Mo'av? @Menachem: I will certainly accept that. Yet, there's still the matter of a covenant at Chorev/ Sinai and another at Mo'av. |

וַיהוָה נָתַן אֶת־חֵן הָעָם בְּעֵינֵי מִצְרַיִם (Exo. 12:36): How did Adonai give “favor” (חֵן)? Basically, how is it that God caused the Egyptians to look upon the Israelites favorably? It seems to me that He had to work upon their heart or something. You know...the text implies a change of disposition. How did God affect that change? |

Ezekiel 16:4: לֹא הֻמְלַחַתְּ — what practice does this describe? @jake: Well, Christianity.SE wasn't an option no matter what, because it's not a question one would ask there (i.e., it's not related to Christian doctrine, per se). I think it obviously refers to a Jewish practice. A Jew (Ezekiel) wrote about it, and the implication of the particular pasuk is that it was a common practice during that time. So, yes, Jewish practice indeed. I know of no Christian sources that have ever mentioned Christians practicing that. Now, I suppose I could have asked on BH.SE, but, I don't think the answers would have been as plentiful. It's kind of a judgment thing. |

Ezekiel 16:4: לֹא הֻמְלַחַתְּ — what practice does this describe? @jake: Because I don't think either of those SE sites can answer the question, "Do any rabbis explain the meaning?" better than Judaism.SE. :) |
