Ask a Jew (Communities)

[4Tamashah]

& there are also Babylonian Jews,( Iraq & other parts of middle east ) & Asian Jews.( Bokara & other parts of Russia ) !

[shlomppers]

You claim Orthodox Jews maintained the most powerful form of customs.

not necessarily true.

their form of dress, they really dress like 17th-century Polish.

Pray in synagogues and study Midreshet all day, not so acted in the Kingdom of Israel during the past.

I think true Judaism is keeping the commandments,and of course to the words of the Torah.

But not to exaggerate.

Orthodox Jews still behave Diaspora.

not to mention Neturei Krta,the most perverse form of Judaism there is.

[Geminellie06]

I have a question that I need to answer for a paper that I am writing about Judaism. My question is are people who practice Jewish customs, but do not have any Jewish history or haven't went through conversion considered Jewish?

[Picassolifeart]

Here's my question, I herd that Jews believe that Jewish people are the superior race. I also heard that Jew doctors are only allowed to cure Jew people. Another thing was that it is ok to kill a person as long as they are not Jew! This may be BS created by those who hate jewish poeple. So let me know why it is that this is being said about Jews. Thanks.

[AhlamMoonz]

heres the question, after doing research i found out the Messiah translates into Unbeliever in Aramaic (the first language) the word messiah is used by jews and muslims to describe anti christ, how can jewish ppl wait for his arrival, if he is called the Unbeliever??

[AhlamMoonz]

i have a question, but everytime i ask ppl start to cuss and go nuts, hopefully someone understanding can help. ITS ABOUT ANTI CHRIST. that is what Christians call him, Jews call him the Messiah and Arabs call him Messiah Al Dajjal

[smeaglehead]

what sort of jew is seinfeld...thanks

[ColumbusnewWorld]

Neither of these groups were from Shem, from Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob, but from Edom, Gomer.

So they are NOT the Jews of the Promise of God.

Good Luck

What??? I'm a Reconstructionist Jew -- I hope what you are saying about us is a joke. It's about reconstructing the ideas of what defines Judiasm, not reconstructing buildings!! Wwe believe that Judaism is an evolving religious civilization and halakha are not binding. It is a very progressive movement often filled with intellectuals who are interested in being good, moral people in the context of a Jewish heritage. DO YOUR RESEARCH!! I liked your video before you made this mistake!!!

[Saddamuel]

Don't want to appear like a stalker but after a bit of back and forth I check ur profile. Surely he is joking! Cracked me up at the end anyway. 'If you see a jew in a hard hat eating out of a lunchbox...', I mean it's hilarious.

[flyingpig319]

Kind of not very funny. But I'm glad he wasn't being serious, I guess.

[Saddamuel]

I guess it isn't so funny if you're a reconstructionist Jew! It was how he said something so clearly ridiculous with a straight face that did it for me.

[flyingpig319]

Why is he totally somber and serious when discussing other branches of Judaism, but makes light of ours?

It would be funny in the right context, maybe, but to me it feels kind of rude.

[chriskardos]

How do you say Brother in Hebrew??? I can't find it over the net!! thx

[spieler80s]

Sir, I have a very important question for you....why are you such a fucking liar??? LOL! You are one ugly ass narcissistic faggot who claims to be a Jew. You are one ugly gentile! Accept it and live with it you fucking liar!!! So please answer my question..."Why are you such a fucking liar?"

[RealNazarene]

People have to understand though that the changes Reform Judaism were not in the sacred scripture. I mean the Torah and the prophets. Am I right?

[flyingpig319]

It depends how you interpret the Torah. Some (progressive Jews) would say that the important parts of the Torah, the values that it teaches, have always been in the Torah. Orthodox/Conservative Judaism view the actual prayers and halakha as the important features, and they kept these verbatim.

[stephenetienne]

In some European languages, the word for "ladder" and "stairway" is the same word. Some of the great European masters of painting have depicted the biblical story of Jacob's Ladder with a stairway. Sometimes these artistic representations are of a regular size stairway, sometimes they are a broad stairway like the stairs in front of many of the goverment buildings in Washington, DC. Is the word for "ladder" and "stairway" the same word in Hebrew? Or are they two distinct words?

[SandpaperButtPlug]

dirty jew rat bastard

[zhou1992]

Don't forget Humanistic Judaism.

[Tamoulenfeu]

My Q: How was it in the oven?

[elgaed42]

Because Jews are not a race, but a religion based upon the Hebrews, a mixed culture of Semites/Arabs and Indo-Europeans, and even Chinese and African blacks.

[flyingpig319]

Judaism, at least certain parts like Ashekenazi Judaism, is at least an ethnicity, if not a race. It has its own physical features, diseases (Tay-Sachs), sense of humor, language, food.. What more do you need?

[NickChristie206]

you are so gay

[falitigate]

Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them(EDOMITE JEWS) of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.TRUE ISRAEL ---Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.REMEMBER WHAT EDOM AND ISHMAEL DID 500 YRS AGO--VENGENCE IS ON ITS WAY

[falitigate]

WHAT DOES JESUS SAY ABOUT FAKE GENTILES/JEWS??REVELATION 2:9I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.==JEWS ARE RICH BUT ISRAELITES ARE CURSED TO BE POOR DEUTORONOMY 27-28-29

[falitigate]

WHEN DID JUDAH BECAME WHITE??Jeremiah 14- ¶ Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.WHEN WERE JEWS PUT INTO SLAVERY BY SHIPS??Deuteronomy 28:68=And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

[PersephoneAngel]

Aren't Ashkenazi Jews the descendants of the Khazars, who converted to Judaism about a thousand years ago? Can they really be considered the ancient Hebrews of the Bible- and if not, do they have any claim to the land which used to be Palestine?

I don't hate Jews or any other race/group b.t.w., I respect the whole "Ask a Jew" idea.

[SunTzuZhangShen]

grossepointepimp, give back the land to the natives.

[grossepointepimp]

jews are decietful and are double crossers. They should give back israel... they did steal it from teh Palestinians

[gangstaafl]

jews suck circumsized dick

[dex216sims]

Dude stop it! Get that anti-semitic crap outta here!

[JadeyChi]

I nearly died at the end with the definition of a Reconstructionist Judiasm. XD

[lieaddkus]

while i enjoyed the video i must say that as a reform jew, many of the orthodox jews i've talked to do actually believe that they are more jewish them i am. theres a whole long discussion i could have about that but, i'm hoping that those were only a small group that feel that way.

[mmysama]

I have a question for the jew.

IS it justifiable to mistreat palestinian people and claim to be gods chosen people?  last I heard, those actions are rasist.

[Darkrider6970]

This guy knows very little about Judaism.

[ealts]

You forgot Mizrachi Jews: (Middle Eastern Jews)

[xSuperJew]

you are my best friend! :D you have the greatest videos.

oh my gosh, SHUT UP ALREADY THEYRKHAZARS!

jesus, no one cares about who you thinks a khazar or a jew or whatever the hell you think you're tlaking about. you have a comment on like, every jewish video!

[RuGolani]

You are brilliant. I am a fan!

[4Tamashah]

Thanx for posting such great clips. I like your work. ;-)

[victoriazubkis12345]

a great example of a great web 2.0 social networking web site is GAGLA dot com....i just discovered it and i think i'll be using it for all my social networking needs from now...

[tudungsenduk]

Is it true that when a Jew dies and before burial, you must cut his prick off. Is this a tradition ?

[dsperlin]

Just looking at the branches, there are a lot: Orthodox, conservative, Reform, Renewal, Reconstructionist, Neo-Chassidic, etc

[sturmann72]

this Ask a Jew thing is getting longer than star wars.... I'm going to post a new topic: shut the fuck up jew! everyone is invited

[kss5280]

wait a minue... Reconstructionist Jews are in real estate and building - construction projects???

Is this guy serious?

[XXXxxxXXXxxx11]

Hahaha, ur great, keep it up!

[Verlch]

How do you keep your beard clean? I struggled keeping mine clean! I suppose it would help if I spent a lot of time in the steam room!

[luckylad8]

can i smell gas

[ajdabeefboy12345]

i thought this was supposed to be funny like ask a ninja?

[defmain]

I am muslim and I respect jews... (Weird huh)

[ajdabeefboy12345]

well god bless you

[Verlch]

The Bible says that God will bless those that bless the Jews, and curse those that curse them! As a Christian it's not hard to see the truth in the Bible!

[chrjlaz]

those who do not except Christ will not be saved but those who do will be saved. That is also in the Bible.

[Verlch]

Yeah, well, that is what we believe. Jesus was prophesied about centuries before He came, he fulfilled all the prophecies, but didn't establish His kingdom at the same time! So the Jews are still waiting.

I believe that Heaven will be full of Jews, the kings of the earth, blessed by God now and then aswell!

[mpa05]

A JEW?

[tongueincheek81]

don't forget the Mizrachim given that the Persian Babylonian and Yemenite communities are among the oldest. also, don't litvak haredim wear the wide-brimmed black hats?

[gremlinsof]

When you say reformed you are insulting Reform Jews.

[Grigorian94]

[harrydude]

[shaina92]

[harrydude]

really? I am ashkenazi and we say sukkot, shabbat, etc. My cousins are sephardics I am pretty sure and they said sukkos and shabbas, etc. Maybe I have been saying the words wrong all along. eek.
