I have a hard time buying that that old stoner supports anything.

He became a Christian, recorded 2 amazing Christian LPs, Slow Train Coming & Saved, then ditched it completely. I can't stand his voice.

" But Momma could this really be the end...to be stuck in a mobile with the Memphis Blues again!" :laugh:
-
He is rubbish. I don't know why people rate him so highly
-
He left Christianity after meeting a Chabad Shliach on a plane and learning about Judaism from him. Since then he follows some Mitzvot, and whatever his failings loves the Jewish people. Under Jewish law he would have the status of Tinok Shenishbah, so he isnt fully responsible for his actions.

What does that mean, why isn't someone responsible for their own actions?

Under Jewish law, when a Jew, and this only applies to Jews, would be stolen as a baby by Achum, or Christians, or Muslims(as continues to this day, in the Islamic world) the child would have the status of Tinok Shenishbah, literally a stolen baby. Such a child is not responsible on his own for following Jewish law, and those Jews who are observant are required as a mitzvah to rescue all such Jews. The Gedolim of previous generations ruled that this category also applied to those Jews raised in irreligious homes. The vast majority of the Jews who dont follow the Torah fall within this category, including Bob Dylan, as he was raised in a irreligious Jewish home.
In fact my own Great-Grandfather Shamai was kidnapped off the streets of Ludmeer in Russia when he was 15 to be forced into the Russian army, this would be a different category than tinok shenishbah, but the practice of kidnapping Jews for some reason or another was widespread in the West until modern times.

I think it means a broken infant :o :o

The Rambam discusses the issue at length in Hilchot Avodah Zara
-
He observes some mitzvot but gets high every day. Really religious. ::)

Ummm...no. It's Nishba not Nishbar. It means an infant who was taken captive like they said before.

YES I SEE i'm sure he now is Jewish and he does'nt get high anymore
