    Oh yeah, I forgot! We don't have one here. I looked around. We do have one synagogue that seems Modern Orthodox but I've been told the Rabbi is not MO in the least. I would really like to be able to visit Orthodox shuls but being they don't consider my conversion process valid I feel like I...

    Ah, I see. My Congregation is 20-30 minutes away (driving). But within that range I have many options.

    Terminology: kippah vs. yarmulke?

    I am unable to say the word "yarmulke" for some reason so I always use "kippah" :D

    My rant about Shabbat

    I haven't heard against a prohibition against locks either. Actually just the other day I was reading and older Orthodox Responsa on setting alarm systems. The idea seemed to be that it wasn't the best idea but if the person feels unsafe, they need to just go ahead and set it. Of course it would...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    I've asked this same question. Usually I don't get a good answer but there are some who have a logical explanation. I disagree but it's still logical. Hopefully someone will speak up here.

    Favorite destinations

    We haven't traveled out of the country. Personally I like Miami and Utah but I doubt either are up your alley.

    Coming out

    My husband has been an atheist for 15 years without telling his family. It works for him for the most part. I've recently been honest about my conversion to Judaism so I wouldn't be surprised if more people want to know about his religious beliefs. I'll leave it up to him to decide what to tell...

    Rabbi David Aaron (Isralight)

    Perhaps he's assuming his audience isn't educated on Jewish things and doesn't realize he's talking down to them? That isn't an excuse, I'm just wondering... I do notice he's trying to get the Non-Orthodox into Orthodoxy. Yes! Which is why I ask. I do not want to be sucked into the teachings...

    I really like him. Is there anything I should know before I read more of his books?

    "Jew"nitarian?

    I needed to take a second class but it interfered with another class. I haven't stayed on top of it at all. I need more self discipline!

    Oh, yes, that is a good one. I'm not so sure it's a starter book though, you think?

    Questions about Judaism

    Just not in the Orthodox Traditional manner. You could do something so simple as turn on a light and it would suffice as not observing in the manner. I doubt it's going to be an issue for you. To continue covering your eyes? I don't see a problem. There wouldn't be a problem with covering...
