Tehillim after recovering

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:37:42 +0000

Do any of you know what prayer to say and what Tehillim are appropriate to recite after recovering from a dangerous situation? As I regained strength today, I kept wondering what one would say after being seriously ill and now being thankful to have survived the ordeal. I'll ask my rabbi too. But since so many of you are here right now, I thought I'd ask.

Movie Favs - Nu?

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:20:13 +0000

Jodhaa Akbar. Historically based Indian movie about Jodhaa Akbar. Really long. Funny accent music when there is conflict. But a powerful story, beautiful music, great choreography. One of our favs.

Ushpizin - All time fav.

Big Fish - Makes me cry and miss my grandfather. Totally the story of his life.

Legend of the Shadowless Sword - Korean. Amazingly done. Incredible and intense story. Can't talk about it or it will ruin the plot.

Les Miserables - both the movie and the London All Star Musical. Powerful story!

Can't wait until Avatar: The Last Airbender comes out in July. Really good Nickelodean tv series! We have the set. Hope the movie is just as good.

These are my current favs. You guys?

Isaiah 14

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:00:57 +0000

Quick question on Isaiah 14:12

What is the real interpreation of the morning star? Is Chabad's interpretation literal?

"12. How have you fallen from heaven, the morning star? You have been cut down to earth, You who cast lots on nations."

As always,

Thank You!

Youtube playlist...

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:52:09 +0000

Hey guys, I've been building a "Jewish" playlist on youtube for a while now, and was wondering if anyone had other videos I could add to it?

Here is the link:

I like putting it on in the background on random while I work, so the more videos I have the better

Liberalism and Torah

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:02:29 +0000

This show is about an hour for anyone with the time to listen, on Noahide living, common sense and Torah based living.
Somewhat political. This was one of my favorites, as I agreed on most of what they had to say.
Any comments?

Interview with Jewish woman- Returns home

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 01:47:28 +0000

Rabbi Singer was interviewing a Jewish woman, who returned home after being involved in messianic Judaism for several years, by the name of Penina Taylor. She grew up in a secular Jewish home, converted to xianity, than joined up with the J4J for several years, before finding her way out.
The scripture verse that began her search was Isaiah 7 v. 14, and from there it was an unraveling process, as she discovered more and more untruths, till she finally finds her way back to Judaism. What is it about that verse Isaiah 7 verse 14??
It seems many of us have a similiar story, as that is where we began our search.
She has her own organization, guardians of the truth, helping other Jews find the truth, and their way home. The interview is about an hour, but well worth listening to. Her website is Shomrei Emet.org

How do they say 'go' in Israel?

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:33:42 +0000

Hi Jason,

How do they say in Israel the word for - 'go' when someone is giving directions.

The Pimsleur tapes use the word when speaking to a man תִּיסַּע and a woman תִּיסְּעִי They use the future tense, second person.

The practice sentences are like: "Go straight, 50 kilometers" Do they use the imperative in Israel, or the 2nd person future tense, the way the tapes say?

Thanks

Noahides seeking Rabbinical guidance

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:18:43 +0000

I would be interested in knowing, are there any ex-xians who are currently not in the process of conversion to Judaism, are you consulting or even looking for a rabbi to give instructions on how to live as a Noahide? If so why? Or why not?

I understand the obvious of looking for Rabbinical direction if one is in the process of moving towards a conversion to Judaism, and therefore becoming a member of the nation.
