Joodse identiteit en welke taal om God te dienen

Gisteren, bij de 80ste verjaardag van de Getto Oproer in Warschau, kwam ter sprake hoe vele kinderen en achterkleinkinderen van het getto ontvluchte en overgebleven onderduikers-wezen van de uitroeiingskampen niet enkel worstelen met hun Joodse identiteit, maar ook met de talen die ze spreken en niet kunnen spreken. Ontvluchten van Naziterreur Een grote meerderheid van…

In Judaism and Jeshuaism there have always been two opposite views on interfaith relationships. All groups know having a partnership with someone of another religious system or with a non-religious person makes life more difficult.
Those who are not so against intermarriage and would allow such contacts with people of other religious groups, do believe it can enrich both partners and families.

The way people feel about Israel have so much to do with interfaith. Also groups that are keen to be not mixed can take an adverse opinion of Zionists. Look for example to some Haredim.

That the non-Orthodox Jewish world in America now have extended interfaith families, and that they are taking the demographic lead, does not mean that would be to according to the mitzvot. What the opinion might be we always should remember that it is the Elohim Who touches and knows the heart and Who shall be the most righteous Judge.

More on Pew’s Jewish Americans in 2020

For generations, interfaith families who felt excluded, misunderstood, or disrespected by Jewish clergy or institutions, have found other homes. Some gravitated to Unitarian-Universalism, which draws on many religions. Some added Buddhism, or Sufism, or Paganism, to their spiritual practice. And for more than a quarter of a century now, interfaith families have been building their own dual-practice communities in which to honor both Judaism and Christianity.

But very few of these people with complex religious practices (and I have studied hundreds of them) stopped practicing Judaism altogether, or stopped calling themselves Jews.

The irony is that Jews who did stop practicing Judaism altogether are considered Jewish in the new Pew study of Jewish Americans in 2020, as long as they don’t claim a second religion. But if you claim two religions, you forfeit your right to have Pew consider you part of the…

Jeruzalem en Joodse en Christenen hun angst voor uitsluiting

Terwijl bepaalde Joodse leiders Joden oproepen om onze contreien te verlaten vooraleer de Jodenhaat nog erger wordt tonen bewoners van Jeruzalem dat het daar ook niet peis en vree is, maar dat het toch mogelijk kan zijn om met Palestijnen, Islamieten en Christenen samen te leven is in vriendschap.

Evangelisatie en open karakter

Door de Islamofobie ontstaat er een voedingsbodem voor de populisten om zich te keren tegen alle anders gelovigen. De ware gelovigen in god moeten anderen voor het leed behoeden dat zulke, meestal extreem rechtse, figuren weten te veroorzaken. een ware volger van de Nazareense Joodse rebbe Jeshua (Jezus christus) deelt met andere de liefde die Jezus ook uitstraalde. Door een correcte houding moeten zij getuigen van hun geloof en mensen weten aan te trekken om Jeshua en het Christelijk geloof beter te leren kennen.
