Hello Jill,

I just wanted to thank you for your song. As a well-informed Christian, I was taught that Jesus was Jewish. However, it astounds me how many Christians don't seem to know this simple fact. They are equally surprised to hear that Jesus came not to replace Judaism, but to fulfill it. To truly understand Christianity, one must also understand Judaism.

Shalom, Todd

ha, Jill Sobule is sooooo cool.

@Shipuh I think we know who's reached their limits of their brain power here. LOL. Cursing angrily on youtube, FTW! LOLOL.

[Shipuh]

I'm sick of trying to meet you halfway in any kind of civil manner. -- You're a fucking ass who has nothing better to do with his time than to provoke people on YouTube. Fuck off. Happy Hanukkah.

@Shipuh You need to learn how to distinguish matters of fact from your personal anecdotes. The former is objective and latter is subjective.

[Shipuh]

But you were the one who wrote that no one claimed he wasn't Jewish -- to my retort, I have met several people who have claimed he wasn't. I grew up Christian and my family taught me when I was young Jesus was Jewish. Regardless, there are still people who don't believe this.

Instead of continuing this crazy argument over for months, why not be more specific next time and say no Christian church claims this, rather than say that no one (person) claims this? Hmm?? Because people do claim this...

@randygaia Unfortunately, belief systems of different sects and denominations is a matter of record and fact and not of opinion or personal insults.
