You know it's Shabbot, none of religious Jews are going to answer right now.
I rest most of the week, so it evens itself out...
No it does not! It is disrespectful to Hashem! If you are a Jew you should be proud, and follow the law! I wish I was a Jew, so people would leave me alone about my beliefs, I do have fun with Christians though!
Correct. Correctish. Maybe I should, but work a lot as I need money to save the world. I usually tell Christians I'm Christian and Jewish though, and I may have some "religious schizophrenia", but I've had much success marrying the two belief systems in my head as I learn them, and where they are incongruent I just say the New testament was changed. This may be going rather poorly for me, considering I don't talk to rabbis/pastors on either subject, but until then, I'm not really putting down anyone from either group without a good reason.
Nice! You do know that I know you have been copying me since I got here! Too bad you don't know what I really think!
Dude... I've been saying that for years. Except I just had much less understanding of Judaism. I don't really know much about you, or how you tick, but do feel free to provide a testimony, and if you start growing on me, I'll tell you my name and how I'm going to make you money.
Yes, women may wear them if they want to, although they are not required to. Only men are required to. Here is a quote from the Mishneh Torah's laws on Tzitziot:Women, servants, and minors are not required by the Torah to wear tzitzit. It is, however, a Rabbinical obligation for every child who knows how to dress himself to wear tzitzit in order to educate him to fulfill mitzvot.Women and servants who wish to wrap themselves in tzitzit may do so without reciting a blessing. Similarly, regarding the other positive commandments which women are not required to fulfill, if they desire to fulfill them without reciting a blessing, they should not be prevented from doing so.On a separate note, that site looks pretty shady.
Women and TzitzitWomen have traditionally not worn Tzitzit. Here's why:There are five mitzvot in the Torah that are "positive time-bound mitzvot." For example, waving a lulav is done during the time period of Sukkot. Tzitzit is also a time-bound mitzvah since the mitzvah applies only during the daytime (as implied by the verse "you shall see it" -- which excludes Tzitzit at night).53 As with all positive time-bound mitzvot, only men are required to perform this mitzvah.54 See Women and Mitzvot for more perspective on this.
LKZ, I ask you to please observe the Shabbat if indeed you are Jewish and you want to be a part of the mission of hastening the coming of Moshiach. It is a chillul Hashem for a Jew to publicly write {like on the forum} on Shabbat. While there are many prohibitions on Shabbat, is it so hard to avoid posting anything on Shabbat as a first step toward observance?
Alright bro, I'll try. Thanks for catching me on it.
