Damn. Does this mean it's time to slaughter a sheep and mark my door with it's blood again? The mailman gets a little freaked out and the cops are tired of being called to a possible murder scene every year.

I have a good friend that lives in Israel and she says Jews can't ever let go of anything in the past, like a bad mother in law. She says they think the entire world hates them and many of them hold the world responsible for the holocaust. That got me thinking "this holiday is all about celebrating escape of enslavement from the Egyptians thousands and thousands and thousands of years ago? Good grief, she's right. Get over it already :p"

I know you are kidding, but...

Like most (everything?) in the Torah (or the first five books of the Bible, as you may wish to refer to them), the stories are meant to be less historical and more metaphorical. They are meant to teach us lessons, ethics and morals (and morals of the stories) that we can actually use in our every day life.

At least, that is the way I was taught and think about it.

I'm not kidding. That's what she says the air about the country is like.

I'm not talking about the Jewish faith and the Pentateuch. That's a whole nother ridiculous thread. I'm not even going to bother trying to counter your description of the passage.

well, it's not too much of a stretch, considering how the rest of the west appeased Hitler until he decided to cross into Poland. Sanctioning the bastard "may" have helped to prevent WWII, but who knows...

Jewish fun fact: If you celebrate Passover on top of an overpass, you go back in time

The vast majority of them alive today didn't have anything to do with the holocaust, just like the ones responsible are mostly dead. The Jews shouldn't be pointing fingers anymore but they do anyway. And they're still "pointing fingers" thousands of years later. I'd simply say they're celebrating tradition, but her description of the general attitude over there is amazing. It's like they're still victims and the rest of the entire world is [still?] at fault.

that's better than sacrificing a person, which is what happened to St. Simon of Trent.

http://www.stsimonoftrent.com/

"Church. It was at this time that the Jew Tobias approached the child, who was not quite 30 months old, and while speaking kindly and offering the boy a piece of money, picked him up and carried him at once to the house of the Jew Samuel.

When night fell, the twin brothers Saligman and Samuel, with Tobias, Vitalis (Veitel), Moses, Israel and Mayr, undressed the little boy and unmercifully butchered him. While Moses strangled him with a handkerchief as he lay across Samuel’s knee, pieces of flesh from his neck were cut with a knife and the blood collected in a bowl. At the same time, they punctured the naked offering with needles and murmured Hebrew curses. They then cut pieces of flesh from the boy’s arm and legs and collected the blood in pots."

St. Simon was actually a 2 year old boy, he was made a saint after he was butchered by a Jewish rabbi. It was this kind of behavior that was responsible for the expulsion of Jews from 12 to 15 countries during the Middle Ages.

The practice of Blood Passover is further described in Ariel Toaff's book of the same name. Ariel Toaff is a senior professor of history at some university in Israel. He is also Jewish.

Heh, I have one of these all year long for breakfast. Goes great with black coffee.

Sorry I have to say this but Jewish ethnic food is possibly the worse ethnic food in the world.
JMHO. Run that chicken through the deflavorizer again, I can still taste something.
