20-something guy in the Land of Israel seeks vegetarian right wing "extremist"..
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
I know that I have read Jews believe that only the man is required to procreate before. I have never understood this... it really does not make sense to me. ???
As for the overall topic though, there seems to be two exigetical camps. Some interpret the Genesis passage to "be fruitful and increase in number" as a commandment. Others feel that it was a blessing or gift. I happen to fall into the latter. I just know I really want to adopt.

It is a commandment for Jews. Gentiles are not required to be fruitful and multiply according to The Noahide Laws.

Are you sure about this? Because the simple explanation is it applies to all man since it was said by G-d before the Torah was given, even before Adam.

I'm a pseudo-vegetarian (I rarely cheat and when I do, it has to be worth it-I do have a soft spot for my mom's chicken soup). But it really bugs me that people automatically associate vegetarianism with hippies and extreme liberals. By the way, the great Rabbi Kook was a veg.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
That is most interesting. Yes, I am a Gentile, but why wouldn't it apply to us both? Christians and Jews use the same Genesis after all.
Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Yes, but Christians do accept all of Jewish scriptures as inspired also.
