@truthb4liesalibies , stop racist drivel on khazar-shmazar !. Neither Hitler nor Stalin was interested on that..For them the Jews was a Jew regardless she's khazar .shmazar,or atheist..EVEN CONVERTED TO CHRISTiANITY ex-jews were forced to death camps as a 'Jews'.

And wt item 5 in soviet passports ?. The jews were defined as a 'Jewish' NATIONALITY' since all religions (including judaism) were banned in the atheist state USSR

You are racist cuse u divide and play the jews towards each other

@TheMounteBankExposee Of course there are extremists in every group of people. No matter who you are if you are an extremist I believe you miss the point. I mean you as in anyone, not you specifically.

[elikron4ever]

@TheMounteBankExposee All people who practice Judaism believe in the one. We just have different ways of practicing it. I wasn't talking about secular Jews. I was talking about the religion of Judaism.

@elikron4ever Jews are split too, Hasidic, Rambam cultists, Secular Extremists, Kabbalists, etc.

It's not all bad, I can attest to that, but this person needs to have a real picture of what it is like for Orthodox African Anerican Jews in the Jewish community.

[OrthoEbonyJewessNJ]

It's not all bad, I can attest to that, but I don't believe that you can honestly answer his question. You speak of ideals; however, Orthodox Jews, like myself, live in reality. Had this person sought my advice, I would have advised him as you did, added what life is really like and let him make an informed decision about whether or not he wants to convert.

[OrthoEbonyJewessNJ]

I thought you offered a great explanation; however, as an Orthodox African American Jew, I can tell you that sometimes our experience in the greater Jewish community is not the best - from people out right asking if you're a convert (when we both know it is a question no one should ask even if they suspect), the stares you may get when entering a new shul or restaurant, people constantly questioning your background, people assuming you're not Jewish...

@elikron4ever Interestingly enough Islam and Christianity are split, and many different sects think the others are wrong. The Sunnis and Shi'ites completely disagree with each other. Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox all believe the others are wrong.

@jevrej1977 there are so many more Christians and Muslims than Jews. Watch out for the Messianics. They want to convert Jews to Christianity.

[elikron4ever]

@jevrej1977 There are more Christians than Muslims. 30% of the world is Christian. 20% is Muslim. The American Buddhist movement was started by Jews. Because it is a heritage and ethnicity, there are Jews of all religions, but some Jews do not identify as being Jewish. Also many people convert to Judaism. Islam and Christianity want everyone to convert to their religion. Sometimes they force it on others. Judaism does not have this wish. That is why...
